Our take on the Rodhouse beanie

This is a simple beanie, all cotton, and it does its job well. We like it for the soft fabric and the 100 g weight. If you already wear our t-shirts or our cap, it rounds off the outfit in a low-key way.

On the bank with the Rodhouse beanie

A cotton beanie for cool sessions

Dawn starts are often cool, even in summer. The Rodhouse fishing beanie covers your head during those first hours. Cotton is a natural fibre and feels soft on the skin. You can wear it all day in comfort. At 100 g, you soon forget it is there.

If you fish from the bank in winter, think in layers. Once wet, cotton holds heat less well than wool or a synthetic fibre. When it rains, tuck the beanie under the hood of your jacket. It stays dry that way and keeps you warm.

On static sessions, for carp or with a feeder, you barely move for hours. Your head then cools down fast. A beanie helps you stay focused on the bites rather than the cold. At the evening bite, when the air turns cool all at once, you pull it from your pocket in seconds.

From the evening bite to the rod bench

The beanie also comes to the bench. It helps in the evening, when you build a rod in a cold garage. The black / heather grey colour stays discreet and goes with most jackets. It rolls up into a pocket and takes almost no room. So you always have it to hand, from the car park to your swim.

Rodhouse is a shop that specialises in rod building and sport fishing. This Soft Cotton beanie is part of its clothing range, next to the t-shirts, the polo and the cap. Pick it if you want a simple accessory in a natural fabric for your days by the water.
