Fisherman Rib Merino Cashmere Balaclava
Crafted from a luxurious blend of Italian spun 90% ultrafine merino wool and 10% cashmere sourced from Papi Fabio (Estd. 1890), Aurelius is fisherman rib balaclava designed to provide exceptional warmth, softness, and protection from elements. The ribbed structure offers a snug yet flexible fit, ensuring superior insulation and comfort for all-day wear.
Ideal for outdoor pursuits, whether you’re hitting the slopes, cycling in winter winds, or braving the chill on morning commutes, this balaclava offers reliable protection against the elements while remaining breathable. The naturally thermoregulating properties of merino wool keep you warm without overheating, while cashmere adds an ultra-soft feel for added luxury.
Common Uses
- Perfect for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, cycling, and other winter sports.
- Great for layering under helmets or coats for extra warmth on windy days.
Fit Notes
- Length 38cm
Traceability
- Made in our factory in India using the latest Japanese knitting technology
- Italian-Spun Yarn, sourced from Papi Fabio (Est. 1890), Bologna, Italy.
Key Features:
- Premium Lightweight (98g) Balaclava: 90% ultrafine merino wool and 10% cashmere for warmth, breathability, and softness.
- Fisherman Rib Structure: Flexible ribbed knit for a snug, comfortable fit and enhanced insulation.
- Versatile Protection: Covers the head, neck, and lower face, offering optimal coverage for cold-weather activities.
- Breathable and Odour-Resistant: Merino wool’s natural properties wick away moisture and neutralise odours for lasting freshness.
- Lightweight and Packable: Easy to carry for travel and outdoor adventures.
Benefits of Merino Cashmere
- Superior Warmth & Softness: Cashmere is eight times warmer than wool, and when blended with merino, it creates an incredibly soft yet durable fabric that offers exceptional warmth without bulk.
- Thermoregulating & Breathable: The natural fibres of merino and cashmere work together to regulate body temperature, keeping you warm in cold weather while preventing overheating.
- Odour Resistant: Merino’s antimicrobial properties neutralise odours, keeping your beanie fresh for longer periods between washes.
- Crease-Resistant: The fabric holds its shape and colour, even after long wear, making it ideal for travel or daily use.
- Sustainable Choice: Both merino and cashmere are renewable, biodegradable, and carbon-neutral fibres, offering a sustainable, eco-friendly option.
Wash Care Instructions
- Hand wash using gentle detergent, wool, or baby shampoo.
- Lay flat to dry on a towel.
- Iron gently with slow steam if necessary.
- Do not tumble dry, as the wool will shrink.
Why Hand Wash Only?
We use hand wash-only merino cashmere to maintain the softness and durability of the fibres. Machine-washable versions are often treated with chemicals that degrade over time, leading to pilling and loss of shape. Hand washing preserves the natural integrity of the wool, ensuring your beanie remains soft, long-lasting, and eco-friendly.
