The coldest part of the day isn’t the run down the mountain. It’s the wait in the lift line, the long ride up, and the brave outdoor après.
Heading to the mountains is a regular getaway for us at melin. Chasing snow, escaping with family and friends, or just getting a couple of laps in to scratch the itch. The cold goes wherever we go, so we built a hat for it.
The past few winters, we’ve been testing and redesigning the all-new MAC Lifty. On the hill. On backcountry adventures. On some of our favorite people who work and live in Mammoth and Aspen and with two-time Olympian, Jake Pates. Every round sent us back to refine the details until everything was right.
This hat is where all of it led. It’s made for the person who is first up, last down, and always charging every section of the mountain. It offers full coverage with style, and it fits comfortably under a helmet. Flaps down for full coverage, flipped back when the snow lets up.
We can say with confidence that this is the best hat for cold-weather adventures. Here’s what goes into it.
Water & Snow Repellent Exterior
Rain, snow, and snow melt bead away, so you stay dry in any weather.
Microfleece Interior Liner
Soft and cozy, and exactly what you need to stay warm in the cold.
ThermoShield Neck Flap
Full coverage for your neck and ears when the wind and snow pick up. Flip it back when they let up.
Cloud Visor Core
A lightweight, packable visor that contours to your head for a comfortable fit.
Squatchee-Free Crown
We removed the button on top so the hat fits comfortably under a helmet.
Dynamic Fit Circumference
A larger sweatband cinches down for a perfect fit on every size, with no snapback.
Anti-Rust Silicone Trims
Shielded from the elements, so they resist rust from water and snow.
Eagle Shape
Our unstructured design, built for adventures.
All of it comes together in the THERMAL MAC Lifty. Built for the lift line, the ride up, and every adventure after. Shop the collection here.
