The Yukon Cap keeps your ears warm through the coldest chores
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wore this shoveling out after a big storm and the ear flaps made a real difference in the wind. The pile lining kept my head warm even when everything else outside felt frozen solid."
Winter storms don't wait for a good excuse to show up, and neither should your gear. The Yukon Cap from Backcountry is the kind of hat you reach for before the driveway even needs shoveling. Wear it snowshoeing through fresh powder or standing over an ice fishing hole for hours, and the wool polyester shell holds up to biting wind while the pile lining keeps your head warm from the first minute out the door.
The foldable brim and ear flaps give you options depending on how rough the weather gets, folding down for full coverage or tucking away on milder days. Made with Bluesign approved materials, it's a hat built to handle winter without cutting corners on how it's made.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Outdoor Research Yukon Cap provide warmth for winter walks and camp?
Its trapper-style design pairs a 100% recycled polyester main body with a soft lining of 92% polyester and 8% wool for cold-weather coverage. Fold the ear flaps up or down to adjust coverage as conditions change.What size should I choose in the unisex Outdoor Research Yukon Cap?
The fitted cap suits head circumferences of approximately 21–24 in (53.5–61 cm), or roughly US hat sizes 6¾–7⅝. If you’re between sizes or plan to wear it over thicker hair, the larger size offers more room.How heavy is the Outdoor Research Yukon Cap for hiking and camping?
The listed weight is 3.47 oz (98 g), making it a light option to carry for cold-weather hikes or camp use. Its foldable brim and ear flaps also let you adapt the coverage when packed or worn.Can I wear the Outdoor Research Yukon Cap under a ski or climbing helmet?
The Yukon Cap is a fitted winter cap, and helmet compatibility is not specified; its ear flaps may also add bulk beneath a helmet. At 3.47 oz (98 g), it’s better suited to cold-weather stops, winter walks, or casual use than as a technical helmet layer.Is the Outdoor Research Yukon Cap suitable for wet, high-output activities?
It has no stated waterproof rating or membrane, so it’s best for cold, relatively dry outings such as winter walks and camping rather than sustained rain or high-output efforts. The 92% polyester, 8% wool lining is designed for warmth and comfort.
