Hats Off to Winter

Posted by Neil | November 02, 2011

Winter is nearly upon us - a time for wrapping up warmly in furry boots, thick fleecy jackets...and woolly hats.

Here at Gear-Zone we have hats for every outdoor occasion, ranging from the most colourful ski hats from Barts and Kask, to serious mountain headwear for extreme winter adventurers from a dozen brands including Mountain Hardware, Extremities and The North Face.

From a company that started out as one man selling shorts on a sandy beach in St Tropez 20 years ago, Barts quickly underwent something of a seasonal role reversal to become one of the leading winter accessory brands in Europe, with their range of woolly hats, gloves, socks and scarves.



With their eye-catching selection of kids’ hand-knitted Inka hats and fun beanies, to serious headwear for skiers looking to keep warm on the slopes, Barts have something for everyone.

Faux fur bomber hats that look authentic enough to be real – without harming any living creature – novelty helmet covers to delight the youngest of ski novices, and hats, scarves and gloves for babies and toddlers…Barts have a large selection of winter wear to bring a little warmth and colour to the coldest day.

For those seeking their thrills in some of the harshest environments in the world, the right choice of head gear can be crucial, and that’s where the hardcore mountain headwear specialists come into their own.

Extremities are renowned for some of the warmest, most weather-proof head gear in existence, especially their range of Tooks and Beanies made from Polartec fleece and Gore-Tex.

Their best-sellers include the Classic 200 Took Hat, Boreas Wind Pro Beanie, and the legendary Windy Took. An added layer of warmth comes courtesy of their Boreas Wind Pro and Powerstretch Balaclavas.

Here at Gear-Zone, we have a terrific selection of ski and mountain hats in a multitude of different colours, styles and designs.

If the cap fits…wear it! Check out our selection of Merrell and Montane, Smartwool and Spyder, and look atIcebreaker and Under Armour, who fit the bill too.

And while on the subject of winter clothing accessories, take a look at our selection of ski and mountain gloves from Berghaus, The North Face, Extremities, Scott and Level.
