Why Choose the Bird Head Toque?
The Arc'teryx Bird Head Toque is one of the most popular models. Crafted from a 50% Merino wool and 50% recycled polyester blend, it delivers natural thermal performance, breathability, and next-to-skin comfort. The massive Arc'teryx logo, knitted in a jacquard stitch, adds a distinctive flair. The toque’s six-dart construction ensures a snug, comfortable fit, while a brushed microfleece band enhances softness and warmth.
Available in a wide range of vibrant and classic colorways, this toque is versatile enough for winter sports, hiking, or casual urban wear. Lightweight and packable, it made my rotation fairly often, but it's worth noting that it's a very snug fit and borders on being tight. It's a single layer with a fairly loose knit, allowing wind to penetrate the top third.
