Quick answer
Choose Hohes Eis if you want a soft, merino-jersey-lined beanie for genuinely cold days and sporty wear. Pick Hohloh if you prefer a lighter, stretchy ribbed long beanie that works across seasons and everyday outfits.
Lining changes warmth more than thickness
The clearest difference between these two merino beanies is inside. Hohes Eis has a merino jersey lining, which adds a soft next-to-skin layer and boosts warmth. Hohloh has no lining; its warmth comes from the merino wool knit itself, so it feels lighter and less bulky.
That makes this less a thick beanie versus lightweight beanie contest and more a question of how much insulation you actually need. If you run cold or spend long stretches outdoors in winter, the extra layer in Hohes Eis is the deciding feature. If you overheat easily or want one hat for mild and cold days, Hohloh is the more flexible choice.
Trade-offs to weigh
- Warmth vs versatility: Hohes Eis wins on warmth thanks to its merino jersey lining. Hohloh is lighter and easier to wear across more of the year, but it offers less insulation on the coldest days.
- Sporty vs everyday style: Hohes Eis is designed as a sport beanie with a stretchy flock seam. Hohloh is a longbeanie in right-left knit, which reads more casual and pairs easily with everyday outfits.
- Fit and adjustability: Both use Superstretch fabric that adapts to your head shape. Hohes Eis relies on its stretchy seam, while Hohloh adds a ribbed cuff for extra hold and a softer feel around the forehead. If you prefer a hat that stays put without feeling tight, the ribbed band on Hohloh is the safer bet.
