Lowe Alpine Classic Mountain Cap

Product Information

The shell is Lowe Alpine's own Triplepoint fabric, which in its latest incarnation is a well respected, breathable and waterproof. This iconic fleece lined waterproof mountain cap manufactured using acclaimed Triplepoint waterproof fabric that offers increased breathability and superb weather protection. The design of this classic hat is unchanged, but unfortunately the quality of the materials used has been downgraded. UOG TOP PICK - The Montane Duality Mountain Cap The Montane Duality Mountain Cap is a lightweight, weatherproof cap with a stiff peak, ear flaps, and cinch toggle.

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. Erik and Felipe’s much-anticipated trip to Torres del Paine has finally arrived, but now if they are. 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. We only use the information we collect about you lawfully, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. Unfortunately it does tend to look like a WWII German cap, especially as mine has faded to a greeny-grey (a perfect match for feldgrau).Handled heavy rain without letting a drop through whilst spending a few autumnal days walking the Chilterns. I put a piece of elastic through the ear flap loops that allow them to be rolled up out of the way in less severe conditions, the velcro adjuster holding them up. A hook and loop tab on the rear ensures you get the perfect fit, and the malleable peak can be easily folded away with a press-stud.

Lined with Aleutian fleece for warmth and comfort this is the perfect headwear for winter days on the British hills and mountains.

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. The Aleutian fleece lining provides warmth from bitter temperatures and the scooped ear flaps with webbing attachment protect your ears from the wind. 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.

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! If you are between sizes the Mountain Cap is part elasticated and features an adjustable strap at the back. It's really only for winter, but is excellent when a beanie isn't enough and means you can go without a hood until it gets really horrible (though it works really well under a hood too. Bought one of these hats years ago when they first came out, much loved and brilliant weather protection, but, unfortunately, I have now lost it! Worn in the typical way, it offeres enough protection to close the gap between your forehead and sunglasses.
