Materials & Construction
Fabric — 100% Recycled Polyester Knit
The Equaliser Beanie is made from 100% recycled polyester yarn, offering a balance of warmth, durability and moisture management for active use in cooler conditions.
The tight two-layer knit construction improves thermal efficiency while maintaining breathability during movement.
Oeko-Tex® Certified Fabric
The recycled polyester yarn used in the /29 Equaliser Beanie is Oeko-Tex® certified, meaning it has been independently tested to ensure it is free from harmful substances.
This certification confirms the material is safe for prolonged skin contact, making it especially suitable for everyday wear during colder conditions where hats are worn for extended periods.
Responsible European Manufacturing
The recycled yarn is sourced in Poland and the beanie is produced in a small family-owned knitting factory in Igualada, Spain, reflecting Norrona’s commitment to responsible European production and high-quality craftsmanship.
