Affliction x 686 Skully Beanie

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Affliction x 686 Skully Beanie leans fully into that renegade, rider energy—grey marled acrylic spun into a streetwise silhouette that’s as gritty as it is quietly cool. The ribbed knit has a wear-anywhere feel, soft enough for city mornings yet rugged enough for late-night missions. There’s an unfiltered edge here, a nod to both Affliction’s rebel roots and 686’s snow-punk lineage, all channeled through a classic skullcap profile that sits right on the line between utilitarian and underground.

Thanks to its all-acrylic construction, the beanie hugs the head with just the right amount of give—never too loose, never too restrictive, keeping warmth close without risking helmet hair or bulk. The low-profile fit makes it easy to slip under a jacket hood or pair with oversized trenches and boxy knits; it stashes away in a tote or back pocket without fuss. Whether you’re amping up a cargo-heavy street look or dialing down a more polished outfit, this piece slips across style codes and back again, lending a shot of defiant personality to whatever comes next.

Affliction’s ethos is all about living fast and loud, and this collaboration with 686 brings that conviction to the classic beanie—think skateparks, late-night dives, or just beating the morning chill with an unapologetic, lived-in aesthetic. No shine, no flash—just attitude you can wear.
