Elbec's wool ear warmers are designed to provide comfort and protection during outdoor activities in every season. Whether you're looking for a winter ear warmer or a lighter, more breathable accessory for warmer months, our headbands perfectly meet every need thanks to the versatility of merino wool in ultra-fine jersey fabric or hand-knitted yarn.
Lightweight Ear Warmers
The sporty and lightweight ear warmers are made from 180gr/m2 merino wool jersey, a breathable and ultra-lightweight fabric ideal for those who want a practical product even in summer. This model is perfect as a ski ear warmer in spring or for those seeking extra ear protection on windier days. Our lightweight bands can also be used as an elastic headband for hair or as a neck warmer. They're highly appreciated for rock climbing and outdoor activities in general. Remember that our merino jersey headbands can also be used as a neck warmer or as a buffer headcover. It's truly a versatile product to always keep handy at the bottom of your backpack pocket!
Winter Ear Warmers: Warmth and Breathability
For those seeking a wool ear warmer suitable for colder temperatures, Elbec offers heavier models, hand-crocheted, ensuring warmth and comfort in winter. Thanks to the circular knitting pattern, these bands remain breathable while keeping ears protected from the cold. The Italian wool used is produced, spun, and dyed in Italy under our direct supervision, ensuring minimal environmental impact in compliance with the strictest regulations. This winter ear warmer is ideal for activities like skiing, trekking, or hiking, suitable for both men and women. The merino wool bands are available in pure hand-knitted wool or with an ultra-soft inner lining in extra-fine merino jersey, making them even warmer to better protect the forehead and ears while allowing the head to breathe. Perfect for mid-seasons.
All Elbec ear warmers, both lightweight and winter versions, are part of the Distributed Manufacturing project and are handcrafted in Italy, in Val Pettorina in the heart of the Dolomites. We use certified merino wool ZQ, no mulesing, from ethical farms in New Zealand, Italian yarns certified GOTS and ICEA, or our Italian wool from the Distributed Manufacturing Project. Our commitment to sustainability is also visible in our choice of eco-sustainable and compostable packaging, a Plastic Free choice we've proudly maintained since 2020.
Ear Warmers for Men and Women: Comfort and Versatility
Our wool ear warmers are unisex, ideal both as women's ear warmers and as men's ear warmers. Thanks to their flexible design, they adapt perfectly under climbing or cycling helmets. Our wool headbands are available in different heights to ensure optimal ear coverage and maximum comfort during various sporting activities.
