Product Reviews for Classic Mountain Cap

Lowe Alpine Classic Mountain Cap

A very good hat for the price. Good fit and warm. Shame it doesn't come with a neck strap which is definitely needed in a high wind.

Worth it

The mountain cap fits well, is light and warm, protects glasses if you wear them and is comfortable to wear with a head torch. I can't think why I didn't get one before. Excellent.

A classic

This hat is so functional, easy to pack away. Fits well under a hood and covers well against rain with the peak. Lightweight, well worth having as part of your kit.

Design classic.

Great hat at a really good price. Keeps your head head warm and dry in the roughest of weather. Stows away small and is really light. Recommended.

Perfect little cap!

I bought this to replace the identical one I lost a couple of months ago and decided I couldn't live without! It's comfortable, warm, waterproof, fits into a pocket - in fact it's perfect! I'll look adfter this one a bit better I hope!

Incredible warmth for so little weight!

Brilliant hat.. I was very sceptical when I saw how thin and light it is, but a day on the hills last week at 4C with biting winds turned me into a believer...

Just excellent.

Ok, so maybe this hat is never going to win any style awards! But this classic is still one of the best winter hats, waterproof and warm. Fit was spot on with the size guide.

Shame not as good as the original

Bought one of these hats 20 odd years ago and only had to replace it because it got covered in paint. Disappointed that the fleece lining was so thin compared to my original and the chin strap has been removed. Fits the head comfortably but the ear flaps don't keep my ears warm the same as my original due to the fleece being so thin and that was not even up a Munroe but rural level. I would need to put a further layer over my head if I was mountain walking which is a shame. Good quality product though but not for the serious mountain climber.

It's a classic for a reason

Not /quite/ the original Mountain Cap, but one of the oldest and still one of the best. Why this one over alternatives? Mainly the wired peak that means it will keep nastiness off your face but still stuff in to a pocket easily, and the popper to keep the peak up is genuinely useful. Docked a mark for making you DIY for a neck strap (and you do want one, as I found out years ago in a real gale). It does have to be pretty noxious to need one, but when it is that nasty it can let you carry on without the encumbrance and shut-in feeling of a buttoned-up hood. Combine with a balaclava/Buff and goggles for awesome winter protection. So if I've been using these for ~25 years why am I buying another? Christmas prezzie for my dad, who'd lost his and found the Karrimor replacement not so good.
