Woof Wear Cable Knit Headband for Riding & Yard
Description
Woof Wear Cable Knit Headband
The Woof Wear Cable Knit Headband is a soft-lined knitted ear warmer for riders and anyone working outdoors in cold weather. It keeps the ears and forehead warm while leaving the top of the head open, so hair can be worn up in a bun, plait or ponytail — which is why it is a favourite for winter yard work, hacking down the lane and country walks.
Best for riders who find a full beanie too warm or too bulky, and for anyone who wants their hair to stay tidy underneath. Available in three colours.

How to Use
- Tie or plait long hair up first, then position the headband across the forehead.
- Pull it down so the band sits over the tops of the ears and covers them fully.
- Adjust the back so it sits below a bun or ponytail rather than over it.
- For ridden work, remove the headband and put on a correctly fitted riding hat before mounting — do not wear bulky layers under a hat, as they alter the fit.
- After a muddy or wet day, hand wash in cool water, reshape and dry flat.

FAQ
Can I wear this headband under a riding hat?
It is not designed as a hat liner. Anything bulky under a helmet changes the fit and can affect how the hat sits, so wear the headband to and from the school and swap to a correctly fitted riding hat before you mount. Always have a riding hat fitted by a trained fitter, and replace any hat after an impact.
Will it fit over a bun or a plait?
Yes. The open-top design is the main reason riders choose a headband over a beanie — the band sits across the forehead and ears and passes below the hair, so a bun, plait or ponytail stays tidy.
Is it one size?
It is designed as a one-size adult headband, and the knitted construction gives enough stretch to suit a range of head sizes. If you have a lot of hair worn up, the knit will give a little with wear.
How warm is it compared with a hat?
The cable knit outer plus the soft inner lining traps warmth around the ears and forehead, which is where most of the cold is felt on the yard. It is lighter than a full hat and less likely to overheat you while mucking out or riding.
How do I wash it?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, gently reshape and dry flat away from direct heat. Do not wring or tumble dry, as heat and agitation can distort knitted fibres.
Is it suitable for non-riders?
Yes. It works equally well for dog walking, shooting days, running, gardening and general winter wear.
