Unencumbered by any necessity to bow to modernity in fashion or design the Scott MTN 20 Women's Beanie is classic by intent. A double knit watchcap with a rolled brim this is 100% acrylic for a wash and wear, easy care, constant companion type of hat. Sure, you’ll use this in the winter to keep your ears warm, or to cover that hair that’s right-out-of-the-helmet adorable, but let’s not discount the functionality of this hat which stretches its usefulness right through the summer hiking season when hitting altitude comes with extravagant temperature drops. Or the night air at the campsite is unreasonably chilly, which is nice for sleeping, but requires a hat if you’re sitting around a tiny camp stove trying to make dinner. The unassuming watchcap which can be unrolled to make a slouch with no furbelows to make it fancy and a fabric that allows you to throw it in the wash to get the smoke smell out we call these “keepers” because they’ll keep you warm whenever you need something on your head, and they last forever. They don’t shrink, they don’t lose their bounce, they’ll never be attacked by moths, they’re just happy companions that live in your gear bag and are ready to soak up memories, whether they’re out on the trail, or coming off the trail when you need to cover up so you can pass as a productive and civilized member of society. A keeper hat in a classic shape that never goes out of style.
