As some of you know, Black Rock Gear has closed their shop for this year, I’ve talked with them and they’ve really struggled dealing with the pandemic and tight restrictions in their neck of the woods. With that in mind, I plan to help fill the demand they worked so hard to supply, and bring a little variety to the marketplace with a fresh perspective.
A down hat is currently in the works, as well as some other gear, but for now we’re focusing on the hat as our first product, that was their niche item, and their absence leaves a vacancy. We’re taking a different approach to the design, it will probably look closer to a fur trapper hat than a beanie. It’s still in the early stages of development, so we are curious, what are some design issues people have had with the Black Rock Gear down hat? Things that you wish they included or did differently? What new functions would interest you? Keep in mind we’re trying to keep it lightweight at around an ounce, but we are open to all suggestions. Thanks!
