Designed for unisex use, the Icebreaker M 260 Vertex Rev Beanie is ideal for winter sports enthusiasts looking for a versatile and naturally high-performance accessory. Its 100% merino wool construction, knitted in a waffle pattern, provides excellent thermal insulation while remaining breathable, making it ideal for hiking and skiing as well as everyday wear in cold weather. Its reversible design offers the added bonus of two distinct looks in a single piece.

The Icebreaker M 260 Vertex Rev Beanie: Warmth and Breathability in Cold Weather

The merino wool used for this beanie has a weight of 260 g/m², ensuring a level of warmth suitable for demanding winter conditions. The waffle-knit structure creates micro-pockets that trap warm air while allowing moisture to escape. Merino wool naturally regulates body temperature: it retains heat when the cold intensifies and prevents overheating during sustained exertion. Added to this is natural odor resistance—an intrinsic property of merino wool—which extends the time between washes even during intense physical activity.

A reversible, fitted design to suit every use

The beanie’s snug, stretchy fit ensures a secure fit on the head, whether worn alone or under a ski or climbing helmet. The reversible design is one of this model’s standout features: simply flipping the beanie inside out reveals a second look, multiplying your styling options without adding bulk to your pack. Weighing approximately 60 g, it’s unobtrusive both when packed and when worn.

Natural Fibers for Proper Care

Merino wool is a naturally renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable fiber under certain conditions. To preserve its qualities, care instructions recommend machine washing on a cold, delicate cycle—without fabric softener or bleach—and drying in the shade, either flat or on a clothesline. It can be ironed on a low setting or dry-cleaned.
