Overview
Built for cold, exposed conditions, this beanie is suited to active climbs and long periods of stillness when wind and low temperatures are part of the day. Its lofted micro-grid fleece backer adds warmth, while the WINDSTOPPER(R) by GORE-TEX LABS membrane helps block frosty drafts. A pony tail port keeps the fit streamlined, and the four-way stretch, air permeable band is designed to warm the back of the neck and ears without getting in the way of hearing.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for bitter-cold, windy conditions, so it may be more coverage than needed for milder hunts or high-output days.
- The pony tail port is a useful feature for some users, but it adds a fit-specific design element that may not suit everyone.
- The four-way stretch, air-permeable band is intended to warm the back of the neck and ears while preserving hearing, which means it is focused on balance rather than maximum enclosure.
