DESCRIPTION
Designed by Patagonia for cold-weather trail running, their Winter Duckbill Cap has a water-resistant top, highly breathable fleece on the sides and flip-down earflaps to trap in the warmth. It features a crushable brim for packable, on-demand warmth when you need it most. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
A combination of a highly breathable crown and fleece materials fight chilly temps while managing moisture during high-output winter activities. The adjustable closure strap allows for a finely tuned fit and a ponytail pass-through for those with longer hair. The flip-down fleece earflaps keep your ears toasty when it gets really cold, or they can be flipped out of the way when it warms up.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, snowboarders, surfers and climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
Recycled Polyester: Polyester is a naturally water-repellent material that can withstand the elements. Using polyester fibre made from mechanically recycled plastic bottles reduces CO2 emissions, and Patagonia are working toward eliminating all virgin polyester in their products by 2025.
Fair Trade: Patagonia now use more than 20 Fair Trade factories that specialise in the production of outdoor clothing, paying a premium for every Patagonia item that is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory. They actively encourage other brands that do business in those factories to join them in the Fair Trade movement, ensuring living wages within the supply chain.
