Burton Women's Beanies

Frequently Asked Questions

• What fit should I choose for a Burton women's beanie—mid-profile, slouch, high-profile, or classic?

  Burton offers mid-profile, slouch, high-profile and classic fits; most styles are one-size-fits-most but the fit profile changes how the hat sits and how much ear coverage you get. Choose mid-profile or classic for everyday wear and active days when you want a secure fit, pick slouch if you prefer a relaxed look or extra fabric to pull over your ears, and choose high-profile for a taller crown or stacked styling.
• How does the Zippy Fleece-Lined Beanie compare to the Recycled Kismet Beanie?

  The Zippy Fleece-Lined Beanie features a sherpa fleece lining for extra insulation and a plush next-to-skin feel, making it a strong choice when warmth is the priority. The Recycled Kismet Beanie is made from 100% recycled polyester with a lighter knit profile focused on sustainability and breathability for active use. If you need maximum warmth on cold days pick the Zippy; if you prioritize recycled materials and a lighter, more breathable option pick the Kismet.
• Which Burton beanies are best for high-output winter activities like snowboarding or backcountry touring?

  For high-output activities look for beanies with moisture-managing and breathable materials—styles that use DRYRIDE™ treatments or Polartec® fabrics and lighter recycled polyester knits work well. A lined option like the Zippy is good for cold, low-sweat days, but for aerobic sessions choose a slimmer mid-profile or recycled polyester beanie to help wick moisture and reduce overheating. Also prioritize a fit that stays snug under a helmet or hood to avoid constant adjustments.
• How should I care for my Burton beanie to keep its shape and performance?

  Follow the garment tag, but general care is to wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash, avoid fabric softener, reshape while damp, and lay flat to dry to protect knit structure and fleece loft. Avoid high dryer heat which can shrink wool blends or reduce the loft of Polartec® and sherpa linings, and store beanies flat or lightly rolled to preserve shape.
