Thurston Introduces Initial Collection

(Aspen, Colo.) - Thurston, designer and developer of premium-quality performance headwear, introduces its initial collection following several years of testing. The collection perfects classic styles with outstanding materials and exceptional attention to detail.

Comprising a balaclava, two beanies, and a skull cap made from Polartec® Power Wool™ and Wind Pro® fabric technologies, the collection is inspired by skiing and snowboarding, and rooted in principles of quality, simplicity, and absolute reliability. The results are highly dynamic and easily wearable pieces that work perfectly throughout 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 lasting performance.

• The Power Wool™ Balaclava is a baselayer or standalone headwear with a streamlined anatomical fit and hinged closure for weather and sun protection.
• The Power Wool™ Beanie is the most comfortable and versatile beanie.
• The Power Wool™ Skull Cap is ​ultralight and compressible for bring-anywhere, year-round utility.

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.

• The Wind Pro® Beanie is a dynamic everyday beanie that perfectly balances wind resistance and breathability. The design complements the original fuller-coverage Wind Pro® Alpine Hat.

Made in British Columbia, the collection is available at thurstonunlimited.com.
