Why Choose the Beanie 2004?
Arc'teryx named this 2004 beanie simply "Beanie," with the design labeled in the catalog as the "Classic Beanie." Initially, in 2004, the brand launched Black, Gumbo, and Bluebird colors; then, in 2005, it introduced Olive, Brown, and Charcoal. Later, in 2006, it added Linen and Cherry. Unlike the 2003 synthetic version, these beanies are made of 100% wool, are much softer, have a smaller word logo, and have significant improvements to the fleece underband.
This thick, traditionally styled beanie delivers warmth and durability. Now over 20 years old, it still looks fantastic! Crafted from wool, it stays cozy, resists odors, and excels on cold days. It's a 4-dart design that fits my head snugly, while the plush thermal fleece band boosts ear comfort and warmth. As a rare 2004 Canadian-made model, this beanie shines in my Arc'teryx collection, vividly highlighting the brand’s early craftsmanship and design ethos.
