Icebreaker says

Made from soft, breathable 200gm 100% merino wool jersey, the Pocket Hat is an incredibly versatile head warmer for cold-weather adventures or winter days on the go. It compresses easily into your pocket while providing ample warmth that’s naturally breathable and odor-resistant.

Inspired by nature, icebreaker harnesses the performance qualities of natural fibers to offer an alternative to clothing based on petrochemical synthetics. Merino is an annually renewable fiber that naturally resists odors, keeps you cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s not, and lets your skin breathe for comfort all day, every day.

With a durable feel balanced with low bulk and high warmth this hat works so well you end up taking it everywhere with you. With excellent breathability, temperature regulation and moisture management this beanie performs well for a wide range of activities.

The merino provides a surprising amount of warmth to weight, works just as well at keeping you warm when wet and has all the usual benefits of merino you would expect. This is a versatile beanie designed to perform as a super packable emergency piece or as a helmet liner or simply a lightweight fashion piece in cool conditions.
