What materials do we use for our men's beanies?

We focus on selected quality: Our beanies are made from fine merino wool, warming cashmere, easy-care acrylic, and innovative fibers such as recycled PET or Polycolon®. Exclusive natural materials such as Valais Blacknose wool are also used. The combination of natural and high-tech fibers allows for a wide range of functions and wearing comfort.

Special features of our natural and high-tech fibers

• Merino wool: Particularly soft, temperature-regulating, odor-neutral – perfect for active people.
• Cashmere: Pure luxury – warming, light, and elegant. Ideal for elegant styles.
• Acrylic: Easy to care for, durable, and color-fast – particularly long-lasting in everyday life. Acrylic beanies are a good choice for allergy sufferers, as they are free of animal fibers, skin-friendly, and easy to care for.
• Polycolon®: Ultra-light – the lightest textile fiber in the world. Water-repellent and quick-drying.
• Recycled PET: Sustainable and robust – made from old bottles.
• Wool of the Valais Blacknose sheep: Regional, natural, and characterful – a statement for authenticity.

"HAE was born in the Alps – raised by the Alps. Since 2006, wind, snow, ice, and rock have shaped us. These harsh conditions teach us to develop accessories that not only look good but also withstand everything. Our beanies are created where the weather knows no mercy – and they are tested right there: by freestylers, mountain guides, and freeriders. If they pass there, they pass everywhere." - Matthias Bumann, Co-Founder HAE.

Which fit is right for you?

Our men's beanies are generally designed as one-size models – thanks to their elastic materials, they adapt flexibly to different head sizes. This makes them particularly practical for everyday use and ideal as a gift. Nevertheless, the preferred fit is often a matter of personal style: some prefer to wear their beanie snugly in the classic "fisherman" look with a fold, others prefer modern, loose-fitting beanies with a little more volume. The way it is worn – whether pulled deep into the forehead or loosely on the back of the head – also influences the overall impression. Our range offers the right model for every preference.

Why are our men's beanies sustainable?

Sustainability starts with the material: In addition to acrylic, we use recycled synthetic fibers and wool from controlled animal husbandry. Our production takes place exclusively in Europe – under fair conditions and short supply chains. This reduces emissions and guarantees quality. In addition, we work with selected partners who meet environmental and social standards. Those who buy a beanie from us invest in durable products instead of disposable fashion.

How to properly care for your beanie

Depending on the material, your beanie requires individual care:

• Merino wool, alpaca wool & cashmere: Hand wash or wool cycle, dry flat – prevents pilling and maintains shape.
• Acrylic & PET: Machine washable at 30 °C – but only on a gentle cycle.
• Polycolon® & Arctic Polyester: Very easy to care for, quick-drying – ideal for frequent wearers. A laundry net and mild detergent additionally protect the fibers. Please avoid fabric softener and tumble drying to maintain functionality.

Why our men's beanies are not just warm, but well thought out

Developed in the heart of the Alps – tested by professionals: Our beanies are created where they are needed. The harsh environment shapes the design – functional, technical, and robust. Thanks to the proximity to the mountains, we can react directly to real requirements. Our models are not just designed at a desk, but are tested by professional athletes under the toughest conditions – in icy headwinds, on ski tours, or during urban training in snowfall. This real feedback flows into every product.

Our beanies combine modern design with function. They fit perfectly, keep you warm, and accompany you stylishly through adventure. Whether a simple everyday beanie or a special model for special occasions – with us you will find well thought-out design with added value. Many beanies fit under ski or bicycle helmets and remain dimensionally stable even after many washes thanks to innovative knitting techniques. New colors and limited designs regularly set fresh accents.
