Dakine Cory Beanie Black Onyx
The Dakine Cory Beanie in Black Onyx is a short-fit 2x2 rib beanie — warm, plain and cut to sit above the ears rather than slouch.
Some people cannot stand a beanie that flops about at the back. The Cory is the answer: a shorter profile that sits neatly on the head, knitted in a 2x2 rib that traps heat while still letting your head breathe. Single layer, woven logo label, nothing else going on — which is exactly why it goes with everything and gets worn more than the fancy ones.
- Short fit, no slouch — sits close to the head and stops at the ears, so it stays put when you pull a hood up over it.
- 2x2 rib knit — holds warmth but still breathes, so you are not soaked in sweat the moment you start moving about.
- Single layer construction — thin enough to wear under a helmet or a hood without the hat fighting for space.

Frequently asked questions
What does "short fit" actually mean?
The crown is cut shorter than a standard beanie, so the hat finishes at or just above the ears instead of bagging out behind your head. If you dislike the slouchy look, this is the one.
Is it lined?
No — the Cory is single layer. That keeps it thin enough to go under a helmet or a hood. For genuinely cold, wind-blown days you want a fleece-lined beanie instead.
Will it fit under a watersports helmet?
It is one of the better options for it, because the single-layer rib has very little bulk. It is still a knitted hat rather than a purpose-made liner, so your helmet will feel a touch snugger than usual — worth checking the fit before you rely on it.
How does it compare to the Cutter?
The Cutter is a tall, fine-knit beanie with a turned cuff. The Cory is shorter and ribbed. Same warmth bracket, different shape on the head.
Will one size fit me?
Dakine make the Cory in one size. The 2x2 rib stretches well, so it suits most adult head sizes, but it is a close-fitting hat by design rather than a roomy one.
How do I wash it?
Follow the care label. A cool wash and drying flat will keep the rib in shape; a hot wash and tumble dry will shrink it.
