The Altitude Waffle Beanie Texture for the Trek. Spring mornings in the backcountry don't care that it’s May—the chill is real. The Altitude Waffle Beanie is your go-to layer for those sunrise summit pushes and late-night sessions by the cooler. Constructed from a premium, soft-stretch acrylic in a classic waffle knit, this beanie provides the perfect balance of warmth and breathability. It’s light enough to toss in a pack but substantial enough to be your daily driver when the temperature dips. Why You’ll Love It The Richardson 146R Chassis: Known for its "perfect fit" depth—not too shallow, not too slouchy. It sits exactly where it should. Waffle Knit Texture: The honeycomb weave traps heat while allowing airflow, so you stay warm without the "sweaty forehead" feeling. The GO Patch: Features our signature Gonzo Outdoors box logo, woven for durability and stitched to last through every adventure. Versatile Cuff: Wear it traditional (cuffed) for a classic look, or unrolled for a more relaxed, modern fit. Tech Specs The Fabric: 100% Premium Acrylic waffle knit. The Fit: One size fits most (and actually stays in place). The Detail: Durable woven patch and high-stretch construction for long-term shape retention. The Care: Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry to keep the texture crisp. Fit & Style Note The Altitude Beanie is designed for maximum versatility, offering a snug yet flexible feel that doesn't lose its stretch over time. Wear it your way: The adjustable cuff allows you to control the depth—roll it up for a high-and-tight fit or leave it loose for a slouchy vibe. Layering: Its low-profile knit makes it easy to wear under a hood or helmet during winter treks. Gonzo Pro-Tip: The waffle texture isn't just for looks; it creates tiny air pockets that regulate your temp. It’s our favorite for those high-output hikes where you need warmth but don't want to overheat. Gonzo Outdoors: Gear for the Path. Heart for the Mission.
