Eisbär launches the new Iona and Ayora collections: maximum comfort and outdoor performance with Dryarn®

07/04/2026

For nearly 70 years, the legendary Austrian brand Eisbär has been an absolute icon and a benchmark for sporting headwear. World-famous as the long-standing official supplier to the Austrian National Ski Team, the company masterfully blends Alpine craftsmanship with continuous technological research into materials.

Today, Eisbär has decided to take a further step forward in the world of outdoor and transitional seasons, unveiling its latest innovations dedicated to high-intensity performance on its official channels. With the claim “Maximale Funktion. Spürbarer Komfort.” (Maximum function. Noticeable comfort), the brand presented the new Iona and Ayora lines, choosing Dryarn® microfiber technology to guarantee athletes an unprecedented experience.

Designed to meet the diverse climate needs of those who frequent European mountains and trails, these two collections offer a complete range of head and neck accessories that leverage the exceptional thermoregulating and breathable properties of our yarn, featuring a “function-focused” design curated in every single detail.

IONA Collection: The Ally for Intense Effort

The Iona series is Eisbär’s answer for those seeking maximum breathability during the most intense aerobic activities, such as trail running or summer trekking in the Alps. The line offers a complete technical set: in addition to the classic Mütze (beanie), it includes the Tube multipurpose neck warmer and practical Stirnband (headbands), available in both the classic version and the Hoch version (taller and more enveloping). All Iona garments are made with an incredible percentage of Dryarn® (a full 88%). This results in extreme lightness: the fabric fits the athlete’s anatomy perfectly and instantly expels sweat to the outside, keeping the skin constantly cool and dry even during moments of peak effort.

AYORA Collection: The Smart Mix for Transitional Seasons

For cooler temperatures, seasonal changes, or high-altitude excursions, Eisbär has developed the Ayora line. The collection features a stylish oversized-fit Mütze and a very comfortable Stirnband headband, both available in 4 unisex color variants. The secret of these garments lies in their innovative hybrid structure:

  • On the outside: Premium Merino wool offers an excellent thermal shield against the cool Alpine air.

  • On the inside: The layer in direct contact with the skin is made of Dryarn®, which creates an insulating barrier and ensures a pleasant dry feeling (trockenes Hautgefühl), wicking away moisture before it can cool on the forehead.

Thanks also to the intrinsic bacteriostatic properties of Dryarn®, which prevent the formation of unpleasant odors, the new Eisbär accessories confirm themselves as the perfect travel companions for those who experience nature and sport without compromise.
