Beanies For First Responders That Fit Under Helmets

US Military veteran Haidar Hamoud poses in full uniform in front of an armored vehicle. Haidar founded The Beanie Factory to manufacture hats that kept fellow soldiers comfortable during long shirts. The company is veteran-owned and all products are made in the USA.

Founded And Tested By Veterans

Our beanies fit so well in the field because they were designed by someone who’s been there. The Beanie Factory’s founder, U.S. Army veteran Haidar Hamoud, was inspired to create this product after years of wearing uncomfortable beanies while on duty.

When Hamoud started The Beanie Factory his goal was to make beanies that were:

Warm in cold weather
Breathable in the heat
Not irritating under a helmet
Soft yet sturdy

The result: A line of beanies that deliver fashion and function, including the latest breakthrough in fit and performance — the Beanie Pro’s H-Stitch.

Why The Beanie Factory Hats For First Responders?

The power of strength and comfort

Our built-to-last beanies maintain their integrity through even the toughest work. Enjoy durability without discomfort, thanks to the irritation-free, lay-flat stitching that won’t rub over hours of wear.

Helmet-friendly designs

Wear them on their own or under protective headwear. With design innovations like the Beanie Pro’s H-Stitch, our hats lay flat under helmets — because first responders don’t need any more pressure on the job than they’ve already got.

All-day wear

Our hats are made from breathable materials that retain warmth without overheating. And since the short-cut acrylic fibers that hold our beanies together support a snug, but not constricting fit, they’re perfect for wearing on long shifts.

Customization to fit any uniform

We offer a range of colors and design choices for our line of beanies. Choose a style and fit to match your team’s gear, and add your department’s logo or unit to a patch on the front of the hat. We’ll Pantone match for custom dyeing, too.

The H-Stitch: Superior Comfort, Only At The Beanie Factory

The Beanie Pro’s H-Stitch was designed specifically with helmets in mind. The lay-flat side-stitching eliminates the uncomfortable pressure that typically comes from wearing a knitted cap under protective headwear. Without the extra fabric and tight elastic found in traditional beanies, the H-Stitch means more freedom when your unit is on the move.

The Beanie Pro’s H-Stitch gives you comfort through:

Patented design and technology
Materials that support all-day breathability
High performance in any environment
