A minimal, well-balanced beanie for active days in cool to cold conditions.
Montbell says:
Crafted from a blend of merino wool and polyester, this lightweight cap offers the perfect balance of natural warmth and quick-drying performance. Soft, breathable, and versatile, it provides comfort whether worn on its own or as a snug-fitting helmet liner.
Our Verdict
The Montbell Merino Wool Plus Light Beanie combines fine merino wool with polyester in a 78:22 blend, offering a soft feel against the skin and efficient moisture management. At 22 g (Medium), it sits comfortably under a helmet without bulk and remains stable during movement. The fabric regulates temperature effectively, keeping warmth steady while allowing excess heat to escape when exerting yourself. The mix of fibres improves drying time and gives the material a smooth, durable handle compared with pure merino options.
The Light Beanie is a refined, low-profile layer that performs well for hiking and cycling in the cooler months.
