When howling winds threaten to derail your alpine adventure or waterside excursion, the Outdoor Research Newhalem WINDSTOPPER Beanie delivers uncompromising protection without the bulk. Built with GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER technology and crafted from 92% recycled polyester, this technical beanie blocks wind completely while allowing moisture to escape during high-output activities like scrambling exposed ridgelines or paddling choppy waters. The streamlined close-to-head design fits perfectly under climbing helmets or cycling headgear, while the adjustable chin cord keeps it locked in place when gusts try to claim your gear. At just 48g, it's the kind of windproof beanie that disappears on your head but makes its presence known when conditions turn nasty, proving that sometimes the best outdoor gear is what you forget you're wearing until you really need it.
