This is our all-weather hat, geared toward the cold and wet. A layer of New Zealand merino wool (from humanely-raised sheep) is sandwiched with Swiss-made soft-shell mountaineering fabric, that's water-repellant, wind-proof, and highly breathable. The hat is reversible, with a warm side and a warmer side. And the combination is thick enough to fit perfectly under your helmet. It's designed so that you can essentially keep you temperature in the same comfort range, even on a ride that goes from the freezing 6 a.m. San Francisco fog to sunny 9 a.m. Marin County hills.
Here's how it works:
Let's say you're going out the door at 7 a.m. on a drizzly day. You wear the water-repellant, wind-proof side out, and the insulating wool side in. This keeps your body toasty thanks to your warm, highly-protected head.
Once you warm up a bit, you'll notice you're not overheating like you would had you worn excessive layers of sweaters, coats and hoods. Instead, you benefit from the wicking/evaporation cycle that's a hallmark of the exquisitely-designed and tailored Gobha all-weather hat. Rather than cook you, this hat actually works with your own biological cooling technology to cool you down once you get too hot. The highly-absorbent lightweight Merino wool quickly wicks moisture to the surface of the soft-shell fabric. The breathable soft-shell transports vapor away from your body. This cooling cycle kicks in almost immediately once you warm up.
Our most frequent comment from satisfied customers is, "Wow; it really works!"
The hat's temperature control technology goes beyond that: When the weather warms up even further, there's no need to take your hat off -- in fact, that's not advisable, as the last thing you want is to want is to catch a chill.
Instead, turn the hat inside out, so that the wind-proof soft-shel fabric is against your skin, and the wool is on the outside, where the wind can penetrate it.
This takes your temperature down several degrees, without totally exposing you to the elements. This allows you to precisely modulate your body temperature so that you stay comfortable whatever your outdoor activity, whatever the weather.
That's why we call this product a "thermostat for your head."
