Shop Remlite’s Ibex 300 Merino Beanie by SKRE; ultralight, durable headwear for New Zealand’s toughest trails.

At Remlite, we understand the demands of New Zealand’s diverse landscapes, from muddy lowland tracks to exposed alpine ridges. That’s why we stock the Ibex 300 Merino Beanie by SKRE, a versatile, ultralight headwear option engineered for adventurers who prioritise comfort, stealth, and functionality. Crafted from 19.5-micron superfine merino wool, this beanie offers a perfect blend of warmth, breathability, and minimal weight, making it an essential layer for hikers, hunters, trampers, and bikepackers tackling New Zealand’s backcountry.

Lightweight Comfort for All Adventures

Weighing only 2 ounces, the Ibex 300 Merino Beanie by SKRE is designed to keep you comfortable without adding unnecessary weight to your pack. Its 300 GSM superfine merino wool provides mid-weight insulation, ideal for cool mornings on the Heaphy Track or chilly evenings in Fiordland. The multi-directional stretch ensures a secure, one-size-fits-most fit, adapting to your head shape for all-day comfort. Unlike heavier headwear, this beanie maintains breathability, preventing overheating during intense ascents or long hunts.

Engineered for New Zealand’s Conditions

New Zealand’s wilderness demands gear that performs under tough conditions, and the Ibex 300 Merino Beanie by SKRE delivers. Its superfine merino wool is naturally antimicrobial, keeping odours at bay during extended trips in remote areas like the Tararua Ranges. The fabric’s UV-absorbing properties reduce glare, offering subtle concealment for hunters or those navigating sun-exposed trails. Additionally, its natural fire resistance adds an extra layer of safety for campers near open flames. We’ve selected this beanie for its ability to handle New Zealand’s unpredictable weather, from coastal winds to alpine frost.

Advanced Features for Performance

The Ibex 300 Merino Beanie by SKRE is packed with features to enhance your outdoor experience:

• Optimal Moisture Management: Wicks sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry during strenuous hikes or hunts.

• Antimicrobial Odour Control: Naturally prevents bacterial growth, ensuring freshness on multi-day adventures.

• UV-Absorbing Fabric: Minimises glare for better concealment and protection in bright conditions.

• Multi-Directional Stretch: Provides a snug, comfortable fit for most head sizes.

• Natural Fire Resistance: Enhances safety around campfires or cooking systems.

• Lightweight Insulation: 300 GSM merino wool balances warmth and breathability for versatile use.

Perfect for New Zealand’s Outdoor Community

We designed our product range with New Zealand’s adventurers in mind, and the Ibex 300 Merino Beanie by SKRE is no exception. Its lightweight construction makes it ideal for thru-hikers tackling the Tongariro Crossing or hunters moving stealthily through dense bush.
