Windblocking Thermal BB Cap Pull Over Ear Flaps |

For those people who just don't want to part with wearing their favorite baseball cap during the cooler & cold weather months of the year, we've just help you extend the season a little longer. Baseball Cap Pullover Ear warmers or flaps are not new to the market, however one that is actually designed to fully cover your entire ear, the back of your neck and the rear opening of the ball cap is! Most, but not all of the "other" ballcap pullover flaps also do not provide any windblocking protection on their outer fabric layer. As well we have not yet seen one other competitive brand that gives you a warming 300 wt synthetic polyester inner layer as we provide, as most if not all other brands stop short at the 200 wt fabric level. Our "New" Windblocking Thermal BB Cap Pullover Ear Flaps are built with a (2)two layer technical fabric process and we use only USA manufactured synthetic polyester fabric materials. Our outer layer is 100% thermal windblocking and DWR water repellent treated, while the inner layer is a warming heavy weight fleece. We also provide 20% or more surface area with our units, so as to ensure that your head gets coverage in the areas that need to be covered up like the ears and the neck Nothing replaces a good warm thermal hat during the extremely cold temperatures of the Winter months, but on the milder days of Winter and the colder days of Fall and early Spring, these pair up nicely with the ball cap for keeping the piercing winds off of your ears and neck. Yes, we did numerous test runs in sub-zero tempertures during the Winter months heading out to our Friday and Saturday night local college hockey games and wore them on occasion at the 07 Iditarod with temperatures to -20F (-28.8C)and our ears and neck stayed warm. The issue in the colder temps when you have shorter hair on your head, is that the baseball cap material on the top of your head just doesn't do a very good job in keeping that area warm. So in those conditions, we had warm ears, a warm neck and a cool top of the head at times, but again these really aren't designed for sub zero temperatures like we did some of our testing in. The portability of these units is nice as well, because when you go inside a store or as temperatures warm up, you just pull them off, roll them up and put them in your pocket. We use only the highest quality USA manufactured synthetic polyester that meets U.S. Military specifications and other USA made insulation materials in our construction processes. Suggested Temperature Rating Range: +32 F to -20 F (0C to -29C) ONE SIZE FITS MOST HEAD & BALLCAP SIZES [Baseball Cap is Not Included in Price] Approximate Shipping Weight: 2.1 ounces $16.99 ea

Some people wear a hat on their head when the tempertures turn cold, while others only want something that's going to keep their forehead and ears warm while not messing their hair up too much. So to satisfy the occassional requests that we get for headbands, we have put our design twist on what we feel the best one should be for keeping your warmer - longer. Our Prairie Snowstorm Windblocking Thermal Headband does just that with its 2 layer technical fabric design. The Outer Layer is 100% thermal windblocking, DWR water repellent and breathable, while the inner layer provides additional synthetic polyester insulating warmth. On top of the exceptional warmth and windblocking protection that this item offers, we have also made the front forehead part of the headband taller in width then the status quo and also gave it better coverage over the ears and rear of the neck. Dimensions Laying Flat: Suggested Temperature Rating Range: +32 F to -20 F (0C to -29C) SIZING: Circumference measured around your forehead to be comfortable of 21" - 533.4mm to 22" - 558.8mm SIZE: Juniors/Teens - BLACK Approximate Shipping Weight: 1.4 ounces $12.99 ea

Viento que bloque el sombrero termal |
We designed our Prairie Snowstorm Windblocking Thermal Hats for those potential new customers that live in normal Winter conditions, where cold is considered +5 F to +35 F degrees above zero. These customers want a hat for these everyday Winter temperatures, but also want one that works great when the thermometer falls in the -minus temperature range as well. Our Prairie Snowstorm Hats are built with a 2 layer fabric system that not only blocks out 100% of the wind with the Outer Shell fabric, but also provides thermal warmth with both layers of technical fabric combined that produces an average insulating thermal R-value of R-2.5. The Prairie Snowstorm Hats do not have the superior wicking capabilities of our Arctic Thermal Hats, but with that said, they will also not create as much "head" heat because they do not have the same amount of insulation layering in their construction. The Prairie Snowstorm Hats do provide moisture vapor breathability in both layers of the technical fabric that we use and the Outer Shell is also DWR water repellent to keep the rain or wet snow from penetrating from the outside in. The design of this hat is similar to what a standard "stocking hat" looks like, whereby you can either pull it straight down over the ears with no sides rolled up, or you can pull it further down and then roll the sides up. But please note, this is the "only" similarity! Technically speaking, there is not much else out in the market place that compares to this hat as we have designed and built it. We use only the highest quality USA manufactured synthetic polyester that meets U.S. Military specifications in our construction processes and we are giving the the Prairie Snowstorm Windblocking Thermal Stocking Hat the following conservative temperature rating range: +32 F to -30 F. (0C to -34C) This hat is excellent for just about any outdoor activitiy that you can think of, in or around the suggested temperature rating range that we have suggested. This is and excellent hat for those people that have to work full-time outside during the Winter time and even for those that may only work mornings and afternoons as Crossing Guards for their local school district. Dimensions Laying Flat: SIZING: Maximum circumference measured around your forehead to be comfortable of 22.5" - 571.5mm or less when the side edges are folded up and 23.25" - 590.55mm when wearing the hat straight with no folding of the side edges up. The sizing dimensions are based on a non-tight head squeezing fit and are our best approximations only! Suggested Temperature Rating Range: +32 F to -40 F (0C to -40C) Approximate Shipping Weight: 3.7 ounces $24.99 ea

We designed our Prairie Snowstorm Windblocking Thermal Hats for those customers that live in normal Winter conditions, where cold is considered +5 F to +35 F degrees above zero. These customers want a hat for these everyday Winter temperatures, but also want one that works great when the thermometer falls into the -minus temperature range as well. Our Prairie Snowstorm Hats are built with a 2 layer fabric system that not only blocks out 95% to100% of the wind with the Outer Shell fabric, but also provides thermal warmth with both layers of technical fabric combined, producing an average insulating thermal R-value of R-2.5. The Prairie Snowstorm Hats do not have the superior wicking capabilities of our Arctic Thermal Hats, but with that said, they also do not create as much "head" heat because they do not have the same amount of insulation layering in their construction. We designed these hats for people who desire a simple pull-over "beanie" style hat that pulls on over the head and covers down to the bottom of the ears. The style cut is nothing new, but the fabric configuration is, because it will keep your head warmer then most of the rest of the beanie style hats out in the market. Technical Hat Specifications: Dimensions Laying Flat: NOTE: Maximum head circumference measured around your forehead to be comfortable of 22.75" - 577.85mm or less.(Average head circumference range for this hat is 21.0" - 533.4mm to 22.75" - 577.85mm) Suggested Temperature Rating Range: +32 F to -40 F (0C to -40C) Approximate Shipping Weight: 3.5 ounces $25.99 ea

We didn't forget about people with smaller head sizes when we released our larger head size Kap Bridgman Hats previously, it just took some time to fit in getting all of the patterns completed and the first piece sample sewn for review. So, especially for our great female customers with smaller head sizes, here's your size Kap Bridgman Hat. The local's call it Kap Bridgman, while others know it as Cape Bridgman, but at the end of the day it's still located at 83.4166667 latitude and -26.7 longitude. If you find it on your global atlas, you will know that it is located in a Country that is primarily dominated by glacial ice and harsh Winter conditions. In recognition of the harsh weather conditions in this part of the World, we have designed and named this new hat after 83.4166667 latitude & -26.7 longitude, because we are confident that it would do an excellent job if one ever made its way there. We designed the Kap Bridgman hat with many objectives in mind and based on the testing results I think we accomplished our goals. Therefore what you get with this hat is as follow:
We use only the highest quality USA manufactured synthetic polyester that meets U.S. Military specifications and other USA made insulation materials in our construction processes. Our Kap Bridgman Arctic Thermal Hat's also contain 15% "Earth friendly green" technical fabric material that is made from re-cycled plastic bottles, which is then processed into the finest synthetic polyester fabric in the World. This is the perfect sized hat for most female explorers or sled dog mushers looking for the same great hat that the guys are wearing. Males with smaller heads or Juniors can put this hat to use as well. SIZING: Maximum circumference measured around your forehead to be comfortable of 22.25" - 565.15mm or LESS. Hat comes with hook & loop adjuster straps located inside of the back of the hat for adjusting to tigher head fit if desired. Recommended average temperature ranges for wearing: +20 F to -100 F (-7C to -73C) Approximate Shipping Weight: 7.5 ounces $59.99 ea

The local's call it Kap Bridgman, while others know it as Cape Bridgman, but at the end of the day it's still located at 83.4166667 latitude and -26.7 longitude. If you find it on your global atlas, you will know that it is located in a Country that is primarily dominated by glacial ice and harsh Winter conditions. In recognition of the harsh weather conditions in this part of the World, we have designed and named this new hat after 83.4166667 latitude & -26.7 longitude, because we are confident that it would do an excellent job if one ever made its way there. In the mean time the best we could come up with for final testing of this new hat prior to our Winter 2007-08 release, was the 2007 Iditarod. Unfortunately, the best the 2007 Iditarod could dish out weather wise upon our musher testers wearing this hat, was estimated windchilled temperatures of -90 F to -100 F below zero up on Rainy Pass. I guess we'll just have to settle for those conditions as being an acceptable extreme for validation purposes. As it was explained to us by one of the mushers wearing a Kap Bridgman hat during the Iditarod, "When I looked around at some of the other mushers that were stranded with me on the top of Rainy Pass in temperatures that we estimated to be -100F, the pain of the frost bite and wind burn on their faces looked like what you only see in pictures. On the other hand the only pain that I was feeling up there was in my knee, which I had busted up pretty badly on the way to Rainy Pass. Because of your "new" hat that I was wearing, along with one of your Drop Pad Neck Gators and a pair of your big mitts (Extreme Element Mitts), I didn't have any frost bite or extreme wind burn at all..anywhere....zero!"(B. Stamm) What more can we say? We designed the Kap Bridgman hat with many objectives in mind and based on the testing results I think we accomplished our goals. Therefore what you get with this hat is as follow:
We use only the highest quality USA manufactured synthetic polyester that meets U.S. Military specifications and other USA made insulation materials in our construction processes.

I guess you could call it innovation by design, as we have continued to push the limits in what can be done with selected Cold Weather Gear & Accessories. In this case, we have further revolutionized the Winter Hat with our Expediton Series XWick 3.4 TRH Windblocking Thermal Wicking Rear Neck Flap Hat, which is yet again in a class by itself. The Expedition Series XWick 3.4 TRH rear neck flap hat has been developed for the user that participates in extreme cold weather activities under high exertion circumstances. Maybe you're a climber heading to the summit of Everest in the Himalaya's or perhaps doing one of the other of the Seven Summits like McKinley, either way temperatures at the top could easily be a frostie -50F plus when you get there. Despite the cold you've muscled and sweated your way to the top. Further, perhaps your expedition fancy is skiing or kiting across the North or South Pole or something less extreme like high altitude snow shoeing in virgin powder. In any or all of these examples you are exerting your body and producing sweat moisture while trying to balance your body heat and minimize the build up of perspiration or breath mositure that with the wrong gear will freeze up at some point. XWick 3.4 TRH Hat is designed for the user that is under physical exertion better then 50% of the time in face biting cold temperatures, where you need to stay warm and protected from frostbite, but you also need better moisture transfer from the area around your head. The following is the secert to the XWick 3.4 TRH:
The 3.4 TR is the combined thermal insulation value of the entire gear unit, which is a Thermal R value of 3.4. The final alpha component of H again stands for the Hardfacing abrasion resistant finish on the outer shell layer fabric that we use for this expedition hat. Although the outer shell fabric is hardfaced, it does have a soft feel to the hand and it does help to reduce the amount of blowing snow that could stick to it. The built-in rear neck flap is especially designed for users that are not always keen on pulling on a neck gaiter when out in the extremes, or prefer not to use one until the temperatures are well below zero. The rear flap is there to minimize the blowing wind to the back of the neck and to keep the snow or rain off that area as well. You can leave the flap out over the collar or you can tuck it in to further seal out the cold elements. The rear flap also has a small highly reflective strip that will allow you to be seen when a light is flashed at you from behind. We've also built in a external rear hook & loop strap system that allows you to firmly secure or anchor you goggle or headlight straps to the back of the hat. On the inside front of the XWick hat, we've sewn in what we call a "Turbo Flap", that has been added for use by the user when additional warmth and windblocking is required on the forehead, while also further sealing out the pounding head wind as well. Flip it up when not needed, or down when you need a little "turbo boost" of warmth to the forehead area. The configuration of the three technical fabrics that we use for this item, the orientation and cut along with their individual stretch capacity allows us to offer this item as a One Size Fits Most. Dimensions Laying Flat: NOTE: Maximum head circumference measured around your forehead to be comfortable of 24.0" - 609.6mm or less.(Average head circumference range for this hat is 22.0" - 558.8mm to 24.0" - 609.6mm) Suggested Temperature Rating Range: +32 F to -60 F (0C to -51C) Approximate Shipping Weight: 5.5 ounces $35.99 ea
