If you needed a really warm cap and had the option of choosing wool that came from the Golden Hills of California, or half-way up the side of Mt. Everest, which would you choose?

Your Honor...We rest our case!! 

If you itch to climb the world's highest mountain, just remember that the odds are 1 in 10 you won't be coming home.  This danger and the bone-chattering cold has not been lost on the folks who live next door to the summit.

Our tuques are knitted by  hand in Kathmandu, just a short breath away from the summit of Mt. Everest.  The artisans use exceptionally dense wool, supplied by their four-legged mountain friends. We also supply socks, mitts and handbags from the same native organization.

One size fits all.  Fleece lined for extra wind protection.  No two exactly alike. Can be dry-cleaned, or washed in cold water.  Dry flat.
