Many are designed with eye-popping graphics to give the wearer a sense of coolness and hipness. Most will make your head turn to catch their brilliant colors and trendy designs. They are cool in other ways too. Most will keep your head more cool than warm since they are not technical apparel. Snazzy-looking winter headwear is designed for a runway in South Beach than the black diamonds in Jackson Hole. Chaos' technical headwear line, Chaos Thermal Regulation (CTR), is far from sexy. It reminds you more of the sleek black outfits in the mid-1980's Sprockets skit from Saturday Night Live. Any powder purist will proclaim that function is more important than fashion. Chaos' CTR line is case in point. The Chaos Mistral Skully is a warm and breathable skull cap that feels silky smooth on your scalp under a ski helmet. It is made from a polyester and spandex blend, and all the seams are bound together with cross stitching giving it added durability. The Mistral Skully comes in 1 color, black, and in 2 sizes S/M and L/XL. It has a suggested retail price for $14.99. If a brain bucket is not your style, the Chaos Howler Racer is a high-performing topper to your cranium. The Howler Racer is made from polyester and is thicker than the Mistal Skully. It is both windproof and waterproof protecting you from the fiercest elements even when stagnant on the ski lift. The Howler Racer is available also only in black and in 2 sizes S/M and L/XL. Chaos touts a suggested retail price of $24.99 for the Howler Racer.
