What is the Citadel Hat?
It's a fully windproof hat designed to provide warmth and relief for nippy ears in freezing conditions. The Citadel uses reliable Gore-Tex® Windstopper® to block that icy breeze, and has a soft, cosy lining for an added bit of luxury in the mountains.
What is it made of?
This hat is primarily made with Gore-Tex® Windstopper®. Gore-Tex® Windstopper® is designed to provide complete windproof protection. Though a Gore-Tex® product, this one isn't waterproof. However, it is water resistant, meaning it will keep you dry in light rain and showers. It's the integrated membrane that blocks the wind, helping to increase comfort and heat retention. Gore-Tex® Infinium Windstopper® also has breathable, moisture-wicking properties, creating a permeable layer for sweat to escape through the membrane and wick away, preventing any build-up inside.
A super cosy fibre-pile lining sits on the inside, which feels incredibly soft against the skin and provides that little bit of TLC often needed during big mountain adventures - it's the little things, aye?!
What are its features?
Taped seams enhance weather resistance by preventing rain or snow from seeping through the stitching, and a shorter peak allows good peripheral vision for steep mountain inclines and technical manoeuvres.
An elasticated chin strap helps to prevent the hat from blowing off in challenging conditions, and keeps the cap in place without feeling restrictive and uncomfortable.
Last but not least, the rear of the hat is elasticated to accommodate different head shapes and sizes, meaning one size fits all, and comfortably too!
