(Aspen, Colo.) – Thurston, designer and developer of premium-quality performance headwear, introduces updates on classic silhouettes featuring outstanding materials, functional and simple designs, and meticulous construction.
Comprising two beanies, a skull cap and a balaclava made from Polartec® Power Wool™ and Wind Pro® fabric technologies, the initial products advance the concept of high-quality ski and snowboard headwear as multifunctional by nature of its refined reliability. The results are dynamic and wearable pieces that work perfectly for alpine environments and beyond.
The Power Wool™ Beanie, Skull Cap and Balaclava are made of Polartec® Power Wool™, which uniquely isolates plush merino wool on the inside, and a high-stretch technical knit on the outside. This maximizes the natural isothermic powers of wool (warming yet pleasantly cooling), while significantly improving its resilience. No other wool fabric comes close to its total comfort and long-lasting performance.
The Wind Pro® Beanie is made of Polartec® Wind Pro®, a superfleece that resolves the weakness of regular fleece: wind chill. It’s engineered with proprietary yarns in a compact knit construction to supply 4x more wind resistance, while retaining critical breathability for temperature regulation. It outperforms and outlasts any other fleece.
Made in British Columbia, the collection is now available at thurstonunlimited.com.
