Beanie

The FUSION Beanie is developed for running and outdoor training in cool conditions, when you want to keep your head and ears covered while managing sweat during physical activity.

The double-faced Italian fabric combines active moisture transport with high elasticity. That makes the hat particularly well suited to running, when the body produces heat and the fit needs to stay stable through many repeated movements.

The Beanie is well suited to running in cool conditions, such as spring and autumn weather, but can also be worn on winter runs, depending on how sensitive you are to the cold and how hard you train.

The hat has a light, technical construction that covers the whole head. At the same time, the active moisture transport helps manage sweat as your body warms up.

At high intensity, a lighter running hat may be enough in conditions where you would prefer more insulation at a calmer pace. Your choice also depends on wind, rain and how quickly you warm up.

The Beanie combines active moisture transport with a close-fitting, stretchy construction, which is particularly relevant when the pace picks up.

During intensive running, the body produces more heat and sweat. The technical fabric helps move sweat away from the skin, while the high elasticity of the fabric keeps the hat close to the head as you move.

This makes the Beanie well suited to active training, where both sweat management and a stable fit matter for comfort.

The Beanie's double-faced technical fabric is developed with active moisture transport, which helps move sweat away from the skin and spread the moisture through the textile.

In technical textiles, moisture can travel through the tiny gaps between fibres and yarns. Once the moisture is spread through the fabric, it can evaporate, depending on temperature, air movement and humidity.

This gives a functional advantage when running, where sweat production often changes with intensity.

The Beanie is a technical running hat in polyamide and elastane, focused on active moisture transport, high elasticity and a close fit while you run. The Technical Merino Beanie, by contrast, uses a blend of merino wool and polyester, focused on the temperature-regulating and moisture-managing properties of wool.

The Beanie's synthetic fabric is developed to transport sweat through the textile and keep a stable fit while you move.

The Technical Merino Beanie contains 55% merino wool and 45% polyester. Merino wool can absorb moisture into its fibres and helps regulate temperature and limit odour.

Choose the Beanie if you prioritise active moisture transport and a close-fitting technical fit. Choose the Technical Merino Beanie if you prefer the distinctive properties of merino wool.

The Beanie is developed for active training, with a focus on moisture transport and a snug fit. The Recharge Beanie is a more insulating fleece hat, developed primarily for warmth before and after training.

The Recharge Beanie uses insulating hollow-fibre fleece and has a double layer of fabric over the forehead and ears. Its construction is designed for situations where the body produces less heat and the need for insulation is greater.

That makes the Beanie the obvious choice for the run itself, while the Recharge Beanie is a good addition for warming up, recovery and the time around training in cold conditions.

Choose your size based on your head circumference, measured horizontally around your head above your eyebrows and ears.

• M: 53–57 cm
• L: 58–63 cm

Size L has both a wider band around the head and more volume at the crown than size M, so the sizes are adapted to different head shapes and circumferences.

The Beanie's fabric contains 23% elastane, which provides plenty of flexibility and helps the hat follow the shape of your head. The right size should sit snugly and securely without uncomfortable pressure.

The Beanie is sewn with flatlock seams to reduce irritating seam edges and pressure points against the head.

A close-fitting running hat sits directly against the skin, and prominent stitching can create local pressure during prolonged use. The flatlock construction gives a flat seam profile on the inside and makes the transition between the fabric panels more comfortable.

This is particularly relevant on longer runs, where the hat needs to stay in place without constant adjustment.

The Beanie is designed as a technical running hat with active moisture transport and light coverage in cool conditions. It does not have a documented windproof or wind-resistant membrane construction.

The fabric covers your head and reduces direct exposure of the skin, but the actual protection against wind depends on factors such as the fabric's air permeability and the wind conditions.

In strong winds, or when you need a lot of insulation, a more weather-protective hat may be the better choice.

The Beanie is made from Italian-produced technical fabric and sewn at FUSION's own sewing facility in Lithuania.

The product is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. This means all of the product's components have been tested for harmful substances in line with the standard's requirements.

FUSION's own sewing facility is certified to OEKO-TEX® STeP – Sustainable Textile Production, which sets requirements for areas such as chemical management, environmental performance, occupational safety and social conditions.

Together with the European production, the certifications give you documented insight into both the product's materials and the conditions under which it is made.
