Why Choose the Beanie 2003?
This beanie first appeared in an Arc'teryx catalog in 2003. It is listed under Toques as... "The perfect compliment for your melon on a cold day. Non-itch and acrylic fabrics. Canadian-made. Canadian quality. Canadian tradition, eh?". The design is called "Classic Beanie" and was available in black and pewter.
It is a very thick all-purpose beanie in a timeless classic design, made for warmth and durability. Crafted from a synthetic material that mimics the appearance of wool, it is soft and warm, making it an ideal choice for outdoor activities. It features a 4-dart construction for a snug fit, and a fleece underbanding provides additional comfort and warmth around my ears.
Arc'teryx released four additional toques in 2003: the Fresh, 3-stripe, Herbie, and the Easy.
