Ski Hats & Balaclavas

What Is a Ski Hat?

In essence, a ski hat is worn to keep your head warm while you're on the slopes. Like your outer layers, it helps you endure the cold and windy conditions on the mountain.

There is a vast assortment of styles available, and your choice depends on various factors such as the weather and personal preference. For skiing in extremely cold temperatures, a fleece hat might offer the best insulation. However, if the weather is a touch warmer, then a merino wool hat is a good choice.

Naturally, there are various styles such as ski beanies, toboggan hats, and those with pom poms. Therefore, you should consider whether the hat will fit under your helmet or simply complement your ski attire.

Ski Masks, Balaclavas and Hoods

Besides a hat, there are several other accessories to ensure your head stays warm. Ski balaclavas, ski hoods, and face covers offer wind protection, moisture wicking, and can be worn smoothly under your helmet. There is a wide array of styles available, offering different levels of coverage for your head and face. You might also consider a Neck Gaiter, which performs a similar function for the neck area.

Remember, wearing a hat doesn't replace the need for a helmet, so be sure to explore our Ski Helmets for staying safe on the slopes.
