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.

Best hat ever, I now have 3 of them. Regulary used in the mountains or when outside in winter. I had my first one for about 8 years. Highly recommended.

Excellent hat, noticeably warming than wool alone. Lovely feel from the material, great value and seems to resist rain pretty well. Tested in the Peak District last weekend.

Warmest and softest hat I've ever owned. Highly recommended. Also brilliant fast delivery from this website. I'm a little concerned with the ethics of the fur (the jury is still slightly out with me on this one) but as far as the material and service is concerned - very happy.

Truly excellent Hat. Extremely well made .Great for really cold weather, Spring and Autumn and so comfortable. Soft and double layered. Washes well in wool detergent. Highly recommended. Avoka is a really nice dark green and good camouflage for wildlife watching.
