The Altitude Waffle Beanie
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.

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.

-
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.
