One of my favorite pieces of outdoor clothing is the venerable mountain cap. Typically characterized by a weather-resistant shell, light insulation, brim and ear flaps. I personally own three -- Lowe Alpine's Mountain Cap (I also bought one for my son) and two vintage caps by Wilderness Experience and Because It's There. I suggest trying one out if you haven't already. Finding one that fits your needs/style should be easy since most outdoor clothing companies produce a version of the mountain cap. Here's a handful to check out:
- AQ2 Mountain Cap by Berghaus (Berghaus carries a couple different models.)
- Mountain Cap by Lowe Alpine (Can be had for cheap.)
- Featherlite Mountain Cap by Montane (2.1oz and primaloft insulation...nice.)
- Mountain Cap by Rab (eVent shell, enough said.)
- Highpoint Cap by Outdoor Research (Great company, bomber gear, sweet guarantee.)
- Alpine II Cap by Haglofs (lightweight, well-made.)
Go with something made in the good ole USA and has some style

Hi Michael. I purposefully left out the classic hunting caps. Although similar, I feel the kromers and wildfowl-esque caps are in a group all their own.
