Why Choose the Charleson Toque?
The Arc'teryx Charleson Toque is a loose-fitting piece that is a great option for cold-weather adventures. It is made from a 50% wool and 50% acrylic blend. This beanie features a reversible design that allows me to switch between a vibrant, 5-bold striped pattern with the iconic Arc'teryx bird logo and a sleek, solid color with the word logo. It has a form-fitting design but fits loosely and is made to be worn slouchy. It still fits fairly securely on my small head, and its lightweight construction makes it easy to pack. This two-layer toque borders on being considered a heavyweight. It is sold as unisex and has a 6-dart design, but it doesn't quite fit my head like the other 6-dart toques from them.

How I Use the Arc'teryx Charleson Toque
- Snowboarding: This Toque excels in snowboarding, providing essential warmth without bulk and fits relatively well under my helmet and goggles. It's the thickest weight toque that can comfortably be used in this way before needing to switch to a balaclava.
- Hiking: On cold-weather hikes, its wool-acrylic blend offers superior insulation and breathability, keeping me warm without overheating on windy trails.
