The Noble Wilde Beanie (often referred to as the 'Ray Mears Beanie') has fast become a firm favourite among Woodloreans the world over. Thanks to its incredible warmth, breathability and luxurious softness, this winter hat has proven to be one of our best sellers, year after year.

Created from a special blend of fine merino wool and insulating possum fur, this double-thickness beanie provides a superb amount of warmth while remaining extremely light in weight. The idea of blending these two natural fibres was first developed by a New Zealand knitter as a by-product of the possum control programme, making the merino/possum blend an environmentally sound choice.

Possum fur is one of the most extraordinary natural fibres in the world, thanks to its hollow core; this cavity traps a tunnel of air that provides extraordinary warmth (up to 30% more than standard woollen garments), while keeping the fibre's weight to a minimum. As a sign of how effective this feature is, the only other animal with a hollow core fibre is the polar bear.

Merino wool also has unique characteristics; each fibre is exceptionally fine, long and densely crimped, helping to retain heat close to the skin while keeping out cold air. The fibre also wicks moisture away from the skin, allowing the wool to stay warm and dry. The combination of merino wool with possum fur results in a fabric that is lightweight, twice as warm as wool, highly resistant to pilling and opulently soft to the touch.

  These beanies are incredible and I'm so glad I bought it and had it shipped all the way here to the USA. Even with shipping it is great value. The hat is incredibly warm for the weight, and is so soft and comfortable. I got the kauri colour and appreciate its subtlety. It may sound weird, but it feels sophisticated and can match well with other colorus. I haven't tried it for even an entire midwestern US winter yet so can't speak to its longevity, but even if it isn't the most durable beanie, that wouldn't matter so much because the price is very modest.

  This hat is one of those bits of kit I dread losing as it's become a faithful and dependable friend when the weather turns chilly. It's light, comfortable, versitile and great at keeping the chill at bay even when it gets damp. I got my original Nobile Wilde beanie (charcoal colour) about 8 years ago from this site and it's been with me on every cold day out ever since, until a little while ago. Horror of horrors it fell out of my hastily packed backpack side pocket and wasn't missed until near the walks end when a bitter wind blew up. It was then that I realised how much I'd relied on it for instant comfort. I'd lost my faithful hat and had little hope of getting it back. At home I went right to the website and was very relived to find I could still get another one. This time in Avoka, which turned out to be a very nice darkish shade of moss green and just as good as my original one. Even better than getting a replacement hat was, by a fluke, finding my lost hat a few days later. Unfortunately it was covered in mud, soaking wet, had been runover by cars and looked like very old roadkill. However a careful wash and drying later it was as good as new. They are great hats! And I now have two. Get one, or more!

  Very disappointed! Lent this hat to a friend during a rather blustery coastal walk and ended up having to buy them one as they would not give it back. Please stop making such good hats!

  I have family in NZ and have been buying this product for many years when I get out there - the last time was 13 years ago. It is by some way the best hat for winter walking. Particularly warm, light, itch free, very resistant to getting dirty and supporting the control of the kiwi bush, introduced possums. Thanks for sourcing my favourite item of clothing.

  As described and better. Very cosy, light and such a pleasure to wear. I’ll be buying another in black when stocks return. Fully recommend.
