"What's the difference between Alpine and Nordic?"
Our signature headwear styles were born from the Vermont winter pleasures of downhill and cross-country skiiing. Fleece lined warmth for the cold, often windy exposure on the mountain. And lightweight breathability for the aerobic nature of skate skiing.
