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.

This is my second possum hat and I love them, good for keeping the wind and rain out, they dry very quickly. Cosy in the winter months and for round the campfire too! I would recommend this to anyone, in fact, I already have and now need to get another one!

As good as they always were. Had one years ago and shrank it in a hot wash. The new one is great. Was discounted which makes it even sweeter. Most satisfactory.

There are two things a wool hat should be, (a) warm and (b) comfortable this hat is both of those in spades; A great hat.

Lightweight, warm and super comfy. This is my second one. The first is still going strong after a few years. I just fancied a different colour. It really is the perfect hat. Whether I'm out for a walk, gardening, camping, watching the kids play rugby, working outdoors, or snowboarding, this hat is on my head 3-5 months of the year. Incredible value for money.

A brilliant hat that doesn’t boil your head like others I have had. The quality and simple construction make it an absolute joy to use. I have two of these in different colours. Thank you for an excellent product and service!

Very soft, warm, comfortable beanie. I like the fact that it is not sewn together at the top, allowing it to be worn in differing and styles.
