Lowe Alpine Classic Mountain Cap

Product Information

The Sealskinz Water Repellent Cold Weather Bobble Hat uses a teflon coated outer acrylic fabric to help prevent water penetration. The legendary original Mountain Cap from Lowe Alpine has continued virtually unchanged for over twenty years. 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. Internally Lowe Alpine's Mountain Cap is lined with soft, thin Aleutian fleece for superb warmth and comfort.

The Aleutian fleece lining provides warmth from bitter temperatures and the scooped ear flaps with webbing attachment protect your ears from the wind. UOG TOP PICK - Lowe Alpine 's Mountain Cap - Superb design with a high performance fabric - We've singled out Lowe Alpine 's Mountain Cap as one of our top recommendations because it was the first of this design which has been copied by just about everyone - because it works.

He designed ‘The Expedition Pack’, it featured an internal frame, compression straps and other never seen before features. Taunton were good and shipped quickly so that I could take the cap on my last minute trip to Iceland. The ear flaps can be worn either up or down while the peaked brim can be secured to the front of the hat, making this a very adaptive hat for on the mountain.

Feature-wise the Cap is designed to fit snuggly over the ears and the wired peak keeps the rain off. The fleece lining adds a touch of lightweight insulation for cooler windy days and the reinforced peak offers protection from rain, snow or even sun. It feels like a 'normal' bobble hat to wear, but the water repellency adds an extra element of defence when the weather turns. A winter sports hat from Rab's Lowe Alpine, made from a weather-resistant nylon plain weave with a micofleece lining, an elasticated/strapped rear and a mouldable peak. Then for added warmth and to save getting those dreaded cold ears the hat features scooped ear flaps, which can be tucked away inside the Mountain Cap when not required.

I love mine but I only ever wear it with the neck flap folded up and pull the hood over if it is raining hard. This is done by using a comfortable fleece lining and the peak of the cap protects from everything from rain to bright winter sun. I love it, and use it for walking, climbing and skiing in winter (for skiing I loop a cord through the wee loops on the ear flaps to stop it flying of at speed, also useful in a hoolie).
