Lowe Alpine Classic Mountain Cap

Product Information

The fully seam taped, waterproof and breathable shell will keep you protected from the elements whilst allowing vapour to escape, keeping you comfortable. One of the things I'm thinking about is use for winter mountaineering etc, but I've heard they are no good under a helmet, but I can't see why? The original Mountain Cap is smothered in acclaimed Triplepoint waterproof fabric for increased breathability and superb weather protection. This peaked, ear flapped and elasticated fitting hat will keep the elements out but retain the best visibility in really manky situations. Made waterproof by the use of a GoreTex shell and warm with an Aleutian Eclipse fleece lining, this peaked, ear flapped and elasticated hat will keep the elements out but retain the best visibility in really manky situations.

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! The Classic Mountain Cap from Lowe Alpine offers A warm, Waterproof and breathable cap theres a reason it's been around for so long.Features fully taped seams, a peak (with press stud fastening) to protect your face from sun glare, wind, rain and snow and elasticated tab adjustment system. The current one is lightweight has a thin nylon shell with what feels like a cheap PU coating and with thinner insulation. Handled heavy rain without letting a drop through whilst spending a few autumnal days walking the Chilterns. This is done by using a comfortable fleece lining and the peak of the cap protects from everything from rain to bright winter sun. You have a legal right to reject faulty goods within 30 days of receipt and get a refund, including postage back to us.

This is one of the very first mountain caps, if not the original, and it's been about for decades because it's brilliant.My previous hat, sadly lost, was of much better quality; the fleece lining was thicker and cosier and the outer fabric was more substantial and more waterproof than the current version. 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. 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.

The Lowe Alpine Classic Mountain Cap is perfect for winter hill walking and year round alpinism, keeping your head protected from rain, wind and snow. The Lowe Alpine Classic Mountain cap is an incredibly popular versatile cap with a waterproof, protective exterior and very high breathability (so you don't overheat! However the cap is still waterproof as the area had been taped at the time of the caps construction.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. The original was much sturdier, made from thicker nylon and with a breathable waterproof lining and a decent thermal insulation. I can imagine that it might be a bit too insulating if you tend to run hot, but my ears and neck love being toasty! 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.
