Meet your new cold-weather companion: the Outdoor Research Gradient Beanie. Built from premium boiled merino wool, this hat refuses to quit—it bounces back from every adventure while keeping its shape season after season. The cozy fleece-lined earband wraps around your ears like a warm hug, so you can focus on the fun instead of the freeze. Weighing in at a featherlight 1.8 oz, it won't weigh down your pack or your head. Whether you're carving up slopes or tackling alpine trails, this beanie has your back (and your ears). Just remember: dry clean only to keep it looking fresh.
