Our Cascade Hats are made from Polartec® Mirco Grid fleece, a cozy material that is soft on both sides. We use two layers of this material to make a medium weight hat that is warm, light and packable. They make excellent hats for cool weather camping, backpacking and athletics, and fit well under a helmet. They are also available in baby sizes.
Note that you can choose between our fixed or rolled band options. The fixed band is made by folding up the inner layer and sewing it to the upper shell - making a band that is 2 layers thick. This is the better choice for a hat to go under a helmet, or for those who like the look of a slim band over the ears. Alternatively, the rolled band is an unfixed fold of both the inside and outside layers and is therefore 4 layers thick. This is the better option if you like more warmth over the ears, like to change the depth of the hat, or like the look of a thicker band.
