Why We Like The Outdoor Research Alpine Onset Beanie
Keeping our head and ears warm when we are out in wintery conditions is essential, and one of our favorite ways to do so is with the Outdoor Research Alpine Onset Beanie. Made with a Merino wool and polyester blend, the Alpine Onset Beanie is warm, breathable, moisture-wicking, and has UPF30 sun protection. A double-layer ear band ensures our ears stay warm and provides a snug fit, and flatlock seams ensure optimal comfort all day long.

Here's what customers have to say
This lightweight beanie is well-suited as a liner or under-helmet accessory, providing warmth without bulk. The thin, breathable merino wool fabric keeps users warm without overheating, making it ideal for active outdoor activities. The beanie is described as extremely lightweight and packable. However, it may not provide enough coverage or warmth to be worn as a standalone hat in very cold conditions. Overall, this is a versatile and high-quality product that excels as a lightweight, breathable liner or under-helmet accessory.

I found this to be the perfect size to keep in my pocket when not wearing yet warm and not too big while wearing. A great item!

Lightweight and warm
This beanie is warm and extremely light weight. I keep it on my table and grab it for whatever outdoor adventure I'm going in that day. It's great for a cool evenings and for colder temps it's fantastic so layer under my hoodie and/or a thicker hat.

Light & Warm
I was surprised how warm this kept my head. It is super thin but somehow retained a ton of warmth on my recent backpacking trip. I am bald and usually have a beanie for around camp & while sleeping when I am not moving around and staying warm that way. It is also very breathable. Really enjoying how lightweight and effective this is, compared to a thick wool beanie that I was using before.

Lightweight and comfortable!
Lightweight and minimal enough to wear under ski or bike helmets. Great layer to take along on a hike or camping trip. Provides some warmth without adding hardly any weight to your pack.

Nice & Warm Beanie.
Im a huge fan of OR All products I buy from them, have great quality and most importantly the durability as well as longevity. I usually use this beanie under my helmet to ski, it keeps my head warm and cozy not too hot not too cold right in between. I also used it for wintertime running and it does the job.

Lightweight and warm
Small medium doesn't quite cover the bottoms of my ears. But still an overall good fit and level of warmth.

Great for under helmets
Like that this can fit under my ski helmet or hiking hat for lightweight extra warmth. Easy to tuck into a pocket. Love merino wool - warm and not scratchy. Nice colors too!
