About this deal

This heavy but nimble boot comes with a recommendation from Peter Macfarlane in his winter 2022/3 tests. What happens when you replace flying to the start of an Alpine bikepacking adventure with travelling. If you are between sizes the the hat has an adjustablesize strap at the back and if you want to keep the wire peak out of the way there is a fold away press stud to help you do so. If you are between sizes the Mountain Cap is part elasticated and features an adjustable strap at the back.

The original was much sturdier, made from thicker nylon and with a breathable waterproof lining and a decent thermal insulation. This iconic fleece lined waterproof mountain cap manufactured using acclaimed Triplepoint waterproof fabric that offers increased breathability and superb weather protection. The shell is Lowe Alpine's own Triplepoint fabric, which in its latest incarnation is a well respected, breathable and waterproof. This is the original of this style and I’ve had one in my winter pack for longer than I can remember.If you want to really make sure you don't lose the hat in severe conditions you can attach some accessory cord to the cord loops on the ear flaps to create a securee chin strap. I did lose one to (very strong) wind so its replacement uses the loops to mount a chinstrap if it's going to be stupidly windy.

I bought this to replace the identical one I lost a couple of months ago and decided I couldn't live without! Having had a Lowe Mountain Cap for over 25 years, it has lost its waterproofing so I thought it was finally time to get a new one! The current one is lightweight has a thin nylon shell with what feels like a cheap PU coating and with thinner insulation.The large give a perfect snug fit for me, the XL I would say fits but is loose so it would come down to preference then. The fully seam taped, waterproof and breathable shell will keep you protected from the elements whilst allowing vapour to escape keeping you comfortable. TheTriplepointCeramic 2-layer outer fabric with fully taped seams keeps your noggin' safe from the elements.

After rigorous testing over winter 2022 and 2023, Peter Macfarlane recommends the unique approach of Keen. TheAleutainpolyester fleece lining not only helps to insulate the hat and keep you warm, it also aids the wicking process that moves unwanted moisture away from your head. So, whether you’re hiking a trail, heading up a mountain, or travelling to the other side of the world, their packs are built to help you make the most of life on the move.This is my second such hat, the first one is still functional after 8 years but it was always a little tight for me in L size. However, with Lowe now looking to become a packs-only outfit it looks like it might go, though the wired peak is different from most alternatives and from my point of view better: it'll stay how you put it and still folds away easily to stow in a pocket. Feature-wise the Cap is designed to fit snuggly over the ears and the wired peak keeps the rain off.

This is one of the very first mountain caps, if not the original, and it's been about for decades because it's brilliant. Felipe learns how to support Erik and be his eyes on tough multi-pitch routes throughout Wyoming, Co. From lightweight and ventilated daypacks for hiking to multiday trekking backpacks and large travel holdalls for your expedition kit, there's something for everyone in the Lowe Alpine range.Lowe Alpine invented this design of Mountain Cap and it very quickly became a classic because the design is so good. Added cords to the ear flaps to make it secure and tight under my chin for when its really cold and windy. The useful peak features a wire peak so you can shape it around glasses or goggles and the whole peak can be folded up out of the way and secured with a press stud.
