Superfine Merino 200 Hat

The hat to wear, everywhere and every day.

Made from the wool of merino sheep living in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, our Superfine Merino 200 Hat takes full advantage of the incredible properties of nature’s finest technical fabric.

Superfine Merino has an uncanny ability to regulate your temperature in a wide range of conditions. It’s nice and cosy in the cold but never too hot when the temperature, or your activity level, start to rise. It ‘wicks’ moisture extremely efficiently and, because wool is the only fibre in the world that can absorb vapour, it delays the onset of sweating - keeping you far more comfortable and eliminating that unpleasant chilling feeling you sometimes get when you take a break or slow down.

Because of the high quality of fibre we specify, our Superfine Merino 200 Hat is incredibly soft and luxuriously comfortable next to the skin - there’s none of the unpleasant itching you get with ordinary wool or poor quality merino. It offers total protection from the harmful effects of UV radiation too – which can be very useful.

Superfine Merino has another remarkable benefit which makes it particularly suitable for wearing next to the skin. It has an amazing resistance to the build up of odour. You can wear it for days without feeling the need to freshen it up. On a long trip, where washing facilities are limited, it’s a real boon. And when the time finally does come for a bit of ‘squad rotation’ you’ll find it’s simplicity itself to wash. Just throw it in the machine or rinse it through with travel wash. Hang it out to dry and it’ll be ready to go again the next day.

Our Superfine Merino Hat is designed in an ultra-classic style. It’s plenty smart enough to wear around town in a cold winter, but perfectly suitable for the toughest outdoor use. It’s thin enough to wear under a helmet – but thick enough to provide a useful level of insulation. It’s small enough to stick in your jacket pocket and light enough so that you don’t notice you’re carrying it. In averagely cold conditions, when you’re active, it can be worn alone. If it’s really, really cold it makes a good, substantial base-layer hat underneath a full winter hat.

It’s the sort of hat to take with you everywhere – pretty much all year round.

A Note on Provenance:

Not all wool is the same - and not all merino wool is anything like as good as ours. Our Superfine Merino comes exclusively from Merino Sheep roaming the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Understandably, these sheep are particularly well adapted to a wide range of conditions - from alpine blizzards to intense summer heat. Only a small proportion of the world’s merino wool actually comes from this area. And, of this small proportion, Rohan select only from the finest 10% - because that’s the softest and the highest performing. Naturally, it’s the scarcest and most expensive but it’s also the very best, of the best, of the best. We think it’s well worth it.
