The Swix GUNDE ski beanie was first introduced in 1974. The coloured stripes around the beanie represented the wax palette. The beanie was named after the 6-time Olympic medallist, Swedish cross-country skier Gunde Svan. Every cross-country skiing fan knows this “retro” beanie. It is a perfect Christmas gift for any skier. Colour coding has always been crucial for Swix, so the red represents racing and the blue training
