Description of The North Face WindStopper High Point Hat:
The North Face WindStopper High Point Hat is a lightweight, fleece cap with earflaps for maximum coverage and protection in extreme cold weather. Gore WindStopper fleece is wind-resistant and insulative, so you'll be able to batten down the hatches when the weather rolls in.
Bottom Line: Protect your noggin from blustery weather.
The North Face windstopper high point hat is the best hat I've ever owned. The windstopper material is key. I always bring my high point hat with me when I go camping, and it serves me well for skiing and snowboarding as well. It covers your ears well when it's frigid. When it's warmer you can pull the cord over the top making it more like a beanie. I've endured some serious wind chill with this hat.
Like all of The North Face products I've owned, this hat keeps out the cold but allows your head to "breathe" too!
Great for skiing at Whistler, where the climate is mild. I suspect it would work just as well in colder, Eastern climates.
