Product Overview
The Beechfield BC501 Water-repellent active beanie is a meticulously designed piece of headwear that balances thermal efficiency with weather resistance. Designed as a streamlined pull-on accessory, it addresses the specific needs of active professionals who require protection without the bulk of traditional winter hats. By combining a single-layer knit with a dedicated water-repellent treatment, this beanie ensures that light rain and snow are repelled rather than absorbed, keeping the wearer dry during outdoor pursuits or site visits.
Key Features
- Lightweight breathable fabric: The single-layer knit allows for superior moisture management and airflow, preventing overheating during physical exertion.
- Durable water-repellent treatment: This finish provides an essential barrier against the elements, ensuring that moisture beads off the surface instead of soaking through to the scalp.
- Thermal microfleece headband: An internal fleece lining provides targeted warmth around the ears and forehead where it is needed most, while maintaining a low-profile aesthetic.
- TearAway label: This feature allows for easy rebranding, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to provide a clean, professional appearance.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% acrylic, the BC501 offers the durability required for daily workwear. The fabric choice provides excellent colour retention and resilience against stretching. Unlike standard knitwear, the inclusion of a thermal microfleece headband provides a dual-layer of insulation at the most critical points, while the rest of the beanie remains lightweight to ensure it can be worn comfortably for extended periods. The water-repellent treatment is specifically integrated into the fabric to enhance performance in unpredictable climates, ensuring the wearer remains comfortable in damp conditions.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
The textured, knitted nature of the Beechfield BC501 makes it exclusively suitable for embroidery. Because the fabric is designed to stretch and contains a specific water-repellent finish, traditional print methods are not technically viable. Embroidery provides a durable, high-quality finish that anchors the thread directly into the acrylic knit, ensuring your logo remains sharp and professional even after repeated use. Our Telford-based embroidery team, active since 1976, uses industrial-grade machinery to ensure every stitch is precise and long-lasting.
Use Cases
This beanie is ideally suited for tradespeople working in outdoor environments, delivery professionals, and staff involved in active outdoor pursuits. Its streamlined design also makes it a practical choice for those who may need to wear additional head protection or hoods over their beanie. It is an essential addition to any corporate outerwear uniform during the autumn and winter months.

Practical Advice
This beanie is supplied in a single size designed to fit most adults comfortably. Due to the single-layer knit, it provides a close fit that is ideal for layering under high-visibility hoods or waterproof jackets without causing discomfort or bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the water-repellent treatment and the integrity of the embroidered logo, this product must be hand washed only. Machine washing can cause the acrylic fibers to pill and may prematurely wear down the weather-resistant coating.
Do not iron this garment. High temperatures from an iron will cause the synthetic acrylic fibers to melt or lose their shape, and will likely damage the embroidery threads and the internal microfleece lining.
Do not dry clean this item. The chemicals used in the dry cleaning process are too harsh for the water-repellent finish and can cause the fabric to lose its protective properties and structural elasticity.
