Originally, these hats were for our Arctic Tern Winter Swim Challenge swimmers and names after the different winter birds that visit our shores. They've proved so popular we've decided to stock them for all winter swimmers. 

 “The toastiest, most gorgeous bobble hat ever! “

• Heavyweight multi-yarn, cable knit design. 
• Non-itchy. 
• Machine washable. 
• One size. 
• Shearling (faux) thermal band for extra warmth around your ears. 

Keep your head warm post-swim in one of our cosy beanie bobble hats. Wherever you do your swimming, sea, lake or river - in the colder months and evenings you need a woolly beanie. Sold by sea swimmers to keep other outdoor swimmers and wild dippers warmer when they get out. Or take a spare for wearing when you are in the water?

As modelled daily by our Salty Seabirds sea swimmers in Brighton and Hove. This is how we identify each other on the shore before a sea swim. 

We love these hats and they are one of our best sellers but you don't need to take our word for it though, have a look at our many 5 star reviews:
