Hats & Gloves

I almost always carry two pairs of gloves: a fleece, and something else for when the fleece gets wet. In decending order of warmth, my favorites are the Prodigy, the WindWeight, the Marmot Power Stretch, and (for climbers) the Torque.

I always carry a light hat—whether or not I think I'll use it.
