The Altitude Waffle Beanie
Texture for the Trek.
Spring mornings in the backcountry don't care that it’s May—the chill is real. The Altitude Waffle Beanie is your go-to layer for those sunrise summit pushes and late-night sessions by the cooler.
Constructed from a premium, soft-stretch acrylic in a classic waffle knit, this beanie provides the perfect balance of warmth and breathability. It’s light enough to toss in a pack but substantial enough to be your daily driver when the temperature dips.

The Richardson 146R Chassis: Known for its "perfect fit" depth—not too shallow, not too slouchy. It sits exactly where it should.
-
Waffle Knit Texture: The honeycomb weave traps heat while allowing airflow, so you stay warm without the "sweaty forehead" feeling.
-
The GO Patch: Features our signature Gonzo Outdoors box logo, woven for durability and stitched to last through every adventure.
-
Versatile Cuff: Wear it traditional (cuffed) for a classic look, or unrolled for a more relaxed, modern fit.

Fit & Style Note
The Altitude Beanie is designed for maximum versatility, offering a snug yet flexible feel that doesn't lose its stretch over time.

Wear it your way: The adjustable cuff allows you to control the depth—roll it up for a high-and-tight fit or leave it loose for a slouchy vibe.
-
Layering: Its low-profile knit makes it easy to wear under a hood or helmet during winter treks.
-
Gonzo Pro-Tip: The waffle texture isn't just for looks; it creates tiny air pockets that regulate your temp. It’s our favorite for those high-output hikes where you need warmth but don't want to overheat.
