What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I like how the Snowfarer Cap balances warmth and breathability on the uphill. The perforations dump heat well, and the tricot lining adds just enough insulation without overheating. The no-button design fits cleanly under a helmet, and the soft brim packs down easily in a pocket."Cold starts, steady climbs, and wind-exposed ridgelines demand headwear that adapts as conditions change. The Snowfarer Cap from Patagonia is built for moving uphill in winter, offering coverage that stays comfortable when effort rises and temperatures fluctuate. Its recycled nylon shell features laser-cut perforations for airflow, while a lightweight brushed tricot lining adds just enough warmth for skin tracks and cold mornings. The soft foam-core brim packs down small without losing shape, and a low-profile crown with no top button layers smoothly under a helmet. A quick-release buckle makes on-the-fly adjustments easy when gloves stay on.
