Vented helmets are great for summer outdoor adventures, but once the cool drizzle sets in, it's tough to find something that both insulates and fits beneath your climbing and cycling helmets. Enter The North Face Ascent Beanie. This abrasion-resistant and highly lightweight cap features a light, stretchy layer of Polartec Power Stretch so it fits close without feeling too tight against your ears or forehead. It also folds down and compresses easily so you can stick it in a pouch or back jersey pocket once the sun starts to warm you up.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The The North Face Ascent Beanie is available through Altrec.com.
Great hat
it fits perfectly. looks great. keeps my head warm. I would highly recommended
nice fit, warm
Great for riding motorcycles. Fits under helmet well, and stays on head snug with no helmet.
Buy Two
This is the best winter hat I have ever worn. I now have two in case I lose one. I use it for running, it wicks moisture away and cleans easily.
comfortable and warm
this hat is super comfortable and despite its light weight it keeps your head extremely warm in the cold and windy conditions
not exactly as advertised
product description above indicates this hat is made from Polartec 'Powershield'. It is not. It is made from Polartec Powerstretch fleece. Powershield is a windproof soft-shell fabric with a fleecy interior. Powerstretch is just a stretchy lightweight fleece (not windproof at all!). That doesn't make this hat a bad product; it's just not the product I was looking for.
