Hunkering down in your tent for a few hours of sleep before the summit push, you don all your clothing to keep warm. The final step: pulling on your WinterTrek Hat. Retaining body heat by protecting your noggin can make the difference between a successful summit push and being forced into a second attempt.
Product Reviews In theory this is a nice hat. It's made of soft warm fleece and has windstopper technology. However, as others have noted, the hat doesn't fit very well. I ordered a large which has a 59 cm circumference for my head which measures 58 cm in circumference. The hat barely covers my earlobes and felt loose so I returned it. I then went to REI and tried on a medium which measures 57 cm in circumference. Although the medium fit tighter in terms of girth, it was too small vertically and didn't cover the bottom half inch of my ears! Instead, I went with a medium Mountain Hardwear Dome Perignon Beanie which is really warm and fits well.
