Burton [ak] Stagger Beanie | True Black

Merino Warmth That Thinks For Itself.

The Burton [ak] Stagger Beanie is the beanie for riders who run hot on the hike and cold on the chairlift. Burton built it from a lightweight blend of 65% merino wool and 35% nylon, so the merino does the heavy lifting: it regulates temperature naturally, so you don't overheat on the climb or get chilled on the way down.

Merino also stays stink-free after a long day, which matters when the same beanie goes from first chair to the pub and back up the next morning. A mid-profile fit sits between a low-profile beanie and a tall beanie, and the classic fold-up cuff keeps the shape simple and lets you dial in coverage over your ears.

Part of Burton's [ak] line, the gear built for the hardest-working riders on the mountain, it brings that same function-first thinking to the simplest piece in your kit. This colourway is True Black.

Best for: riders who want one premium beanie that handles hikes, lifts and après without overheating or getting smelly. Browse more styles in our beanies collection.

Built for Australian Conditions

Australian resorts swing from bluebird spring slush to sideways sleet in the same week, and Mt Buller, Hotham and Perisher days often mean a sweaty traverse followed by a freezing lift. Merino handles that swing better than synthetic knits, breathing when you work and holding warmth when you stop. It's also a great travel beanie for Japan, where cold, dry days and long sessions reward odour-resistant fabric.

FAQs

Will the [ak] Stagger Beanie fit under a helmet?
It's a mid-profile, lightweight merino knit, so it suits riding under a helmet for most riders, and it works on its own around town. Try it with your helmet in store if you want to be sure.

Is merino itchy?
This is a merino-nylon blend rather than coarse wool, so it's soft against the skin for most riders. The merino is what keeps it warm, breathable and stink-free.

Does it shrink?
Follow the care label. Merino blends are best washed cool and dried flat, never in a hot dryer.
