Come spring, Alaskans brace themselves for the powerful warming winds known as Chinooks or “Snow Eaters.” A strong Chinook can gust up to 75 mph, raise air temperatures by up to 40 degrees in an hour, and rip the cap off your head before you know what hit you. Which is why we’ve created the Alaskan Hardgear® FlexFit® Cap. The flexible 63% polyester/34% cotton/3% spandex fabric is brushed to lift a warm, woolly texture. Built-in flex and the 6-panel design hug your head with no need for a back strap – stays put even if you wear it backwards!
