Norsewear Aspiring Possum Lined Beanie

We reckon the Possum Merino lined Aspiring Beanie sets the beanie gold standard. Practical, soft, and very warm, our Aspiring Possum lined beanie will fast become your top choice for extreme conditions outdoors. The inside layer of possum delivers maximum comfort by trapping warmth and blocking cold wind, while the tough woollen exterior delivers maximum durability.

We reckon our beanies are better than your usual acrylic import and because we’ve been making them ourselves in NZ since 1963, we know they’ll go the distance.

Inner: 28% Possum, 44% Wool, 28% Nylon

Outer: 80% Wool, 20% Nylon

We use Merino wool because it provides insulation that keeps you warm in winter and breathability that keeps you cool in summer. Merino also resists odour and delivers great moisture management keeping your feet drier, more comfortable, and less prone to blisters. Merino fibres are so fine, they gently bend when in contact with your skin, providing softness and comfort

Possum fibre has some unique characteristics which is why we blend it with Merino wool to produce some of our products. Possum fibres have a hollow core not only making them very light, but also trapping a tunnel of air, providing extraordinary insulation and warmth. Because the outside of the fibre is smooth it feels soft and silky delivering great comfort, but it's also very resilient and abrasion-resistant delivering excellent durability.
