CE25 Habitat Hat

The goals driving this hat design were functionality and versatility. Functional because it seals out the weather but converts for more pleasant conditions. Versatile because there are so many ways to wear it. View A consists of a separate Shell Hat and Fleece Liner. They are worn together for full protection. You can flip up one or both sets of ear flaps to cool down. The Fleece Liner worn alone fits under helmets or hoods and provides streamline insulation when you also need maximum breathability. View B is a one-piece, Insulated Shell Hat that is made with a heavier fleece lining. It’s for those wanting a straightforward, warm hat without keeping track of components.
