REVIEW: Under Armour Arctic Beanie

When it gets cold, a recycled product made from PET bottles is the best solution: fleece has replaced the classic knit cap. And part of good gear is also a warm Watch Cap. Under Armour has improved it even more, we introduce the Arctic Beanie.

Front view of the beanie: the logo is supposed to be placed on the left almost next to the eye. The beanie has been seen in action before, here in the picture of Brendan Looney from Afghanistan

On the back: the name next to the logo. It is embroidered this way so that the name sits exactly at the back of the neck.

This is the interior that sets the Arctic Beanie apart from a regular Watch Cap. The mesh makes the beanie not as hot as a fleece cap without it. And when you sweat, the sweat can evaporate and thus spare the fleece from getting soaked. When putting it on, you have to be careful, the seam of the lining runs across the head from ear to ear. If you try it differently, it will be uncomfortable.

CONCLUSION: Very solid beanie, comfortable to wear: the recipe is called "Cold Gear Fleece & Heat Gear Mesh Lining".

The Under Armour Arctic Beanie is available at well-stocked sports retailers or also on Amazon: there the cap costs 22 euros.
