Like a warm and cozy sleeping bag for your cabeza, the Transcendent Hat™ is built with an ultralight fabric shell and insulated with 650+ fill down, and its down-insulated ear flaps ensure maximum retention of heat from where the body loses it most rapidly. Ideal for alpine camping, the Transcendent Hat™ can also be worn under your shell’s hood in extremely cold conditions. Incredibly lightweight and compressible, this hat is the perfect companion for any cold-weather expedition.

Down 650+ Goose down is the lightest, warmest and most compressible insulation available. Like all insulation layers, down provides warmth by trapping a layer of air that separates the wearer from the outside cold. 650+ fill-power down is the second highest fill power currently offered by Outdoor Research

This is an excellent hat to have when the temps drop and you need something more substantial than a beanie, but aren't into looking like a cast member from 'Fargo'. The 650-fill down is perfect for keeping things warm-and-light without the unnecessary excess of a higher fill weight. The chin strap keeps it from blowing off, and the drawcord at the rear keeps things nice and snug to seal in that feathery warmth. I also love how the brim folds in half, reducing the size down to easy pocketability, and at a light-as-a-snowflake 3 ounces, it's easy to take everywhere. (Okay, it's a lil' bit heavier than a snowflake, unless you're talking about some of our wet Cascadian crud.)
