The humble Possum Fur and Merino Wool Beanie Hat (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.

It's a 5 star product for a reason and it is apparent as soon as you open the packaging. Well worth it.

Good quality, very warm but you need a staple gun in order to keep it on your head. I'm sure Mr Mears will hunt me down for only giving his favourite hat four stars but I challenge him to sleep in this without it coming off and escaping his hammock. Good hat but slippy.

I have purchased a number of Beanie Style hats over the years but, none come close to this one in every respect. A Highly recommended piece of kit and customer service from Ray Mears Bushcraft (Woodlore Ltd). Based on these facts I have just ordered further items. ??

I bought this to replace an earlier model of the same hat. Therefore I know this hat to be very warm and comfortable. What has changed with the new one, well there is the addition of a small percentage of nylon, this is a good thing. The older hat was difficult to keep on ones head with any strong breeze. When wearing it sailing, I always had to have the hood up to keep it on. The new hat is stretchier and hence grips ones head firmer. However, despite the addition of nylon, the feel is identical. I'm glad I've bought it (even though I've now found my old one again!).
