A cold-weather cap for the months when a mesh trucker is the wrong hat. Insulated crown, ear coverage, and a brim that still works with polarized glasses.
The thing most anglers get wrong about winter fishing is that they dress the body properly and forget the head and ears. You lose a genuine amount of heat there, and cold ears are what actually sends people back to the truck at eleven in the morning — not cold feet.
Features
- Insulated construction for cold mornings
- Ear coverage — the part a beanie gets right and a cap does not
- Structured brim that works under a hood and with sunglasses
- Low profile enough to wear under a wading jacket hood

Why this matters in Montrose. The tailwaters fish all winter here, and the Gunnison canyon holds cold long after the sun is up. Days when the air is in the twenties and the fishing is excellent are exactly the days people cut short because they got cold from the neck up.
Also worth having in winter: the Freestone Foldover Mitt for hands, and a SunGaiter pulled up over your face — which works as well against wind as it does against sun. Both stocked here.
Also available: we have this cap on a clearance listing too — check the Coldweather Cap Sale page if you are not fussy about colorway.
