Performance Focused For High-Tempo Cold Weather Pursuits

Crafted from 80% recycled polyester, this moisture-wicking, quick-drying beanie boasts a close-to-head fit that ensures minimal drag and maximum comfort. Thermoregulating ActiveTemp™ technology adapts to the body’s temperature for comfort in varying conditions, while innovative Y-Warm insulation delivers breathable, bulk-free warmth. The lightweight insulated ear band keeps ears toasty on extra cold days, while the integrated ponytail port keeps hair in check without compromising warmth.

The Outdoor Research Deviator Beanie is an impressively lightweight, warm option for high-energy winter pursuits. It is made from recycled materials, has excellent moisture management, and is incredibly quick-drying. The snug fit helps the hat stay in place even during intense movement, and the insulated ear band elevates the beanie’s usability. 

An extra thoughtful touch is the integrated ponytail port, which keeps hair secured without exposing you to the cold. Outdoor Research’s ActiveTemp fabric technology adapts to your body temperature, offering adaptable comfort across various activity levels and temperatures.
