Fabric weight: 230gsm
Fabric weight (gsm)
GSM means grams per square metre. Higher GSM usually means a thicker knit, more warmth, and better wind resistance.
Lower GSM usually feels lighter, dries faster, and is better for high output.
Fibre diameter: 18.5µm
Fibre diameter (microns)
Microns measure the thickness of each merino fibre.
Smaller microns usually feel softer against skin because the fibres bend more easily. Larger microns usually feel firmer and can be more rugged for outer layers.
| Fibre | Thickness |
|---|---|
| Ultra fine | 15µm |
| Super fine | 17.5µm |
| Fine | 20µm |
| Mid-weight | 22.5µm |
| Coarse | 25µm |
| Human hair | ~70µm |
Merino's natural odour resistance means a simple air between wears is almost always enough, and the less you wash it, the longer it lasts.

I've bought a number of ISOBAA products over the past few years. I've been really impressed by all of them - they've all been really good quality products and, generally, good value for money. This is the case for the Merino 230 Beanie. It's really warm and an excellent item to have available when required. However, I was disappointed to find that the care instructions are clearly visible when the beanie is worn with a 'turn up' (that is, when worn like it is in the image of the man wearing the beanie). This is not what I'd expect from a product sold by ISOBAA.
As usual, the fabric quality is great as the beanie by itself, but the writing in the beanie (isobaa logo, fabric percentage, how to wash) wore off and disintegrated (without washing) pretty quickly, making it looks pretty cheap. This is not the quality I am use to with isobaa but it is always a tricky thing to write things directly on the fabric and transfer will always wore off at the end
Thanks for the feedback! You’re right, printed care and logo details can wear over time. We use low impact, non harmful inks, which are gentler but more delicate. We’re moving the care information to a sewn in label next season to avoid the issue in future.
Nice beanie
Light comfortable and warm
Very nicely made, soft and warm, but not so warm that you have to take it off!
Merino 230 Beanie (Charcoal/Black)
Well made and comfortable
I ordered the beanie at the same time as a pair of slippers. The slippers arrived (in Australia) within a week to 10 days. There was no note to tell me the beanie would be delivered separately, so I had to follow up myself.
After at least two email follow ups, the beanie finally arrived. Apparently the delay was due to moving to a new dispatch centre. Could and should have been more proactive with communications.
Anyroad, the beanie itself is warm and very lightweight - exactly what I wanted :-)
Thanks for your review and for sharing your experience. We’re pleased you’re enjoying the beanie.
Just to clarify, when items ship separately, our system does send two shipment confirmation emails. The first notes a partial shipment, with a follow-up once the remaining item is on its way. That said, we’ve also updated our site so expected delivery times and split shipments are clearer before purchase.
So comfy to wear. Is warm when I feel cold but breathable when too hot!! Love the colour. Soft and looks cool
Soft, warm, matches some Smartwool gloves of same color/stripe. I've probably sweat a gallon in this but still smells/looks/insulates fine (don't wash your wool, just hang it out and it lasts forever)
Really pleased with the merino navy and orange hat I got for my husband- looks great and perfect for winter morning runs - great quality
Massive merino fan as keen cyclist: isobaa kit is top drawer…
