Named after the 1989 banger from the B-52’s (we assume), this Roam cap from Mons Royale is a great-looking lid. The low-profile six-panel crown keeps the fit nice and snug for an active lifestyle, while the flat brim has a contemporary feel. But it's the 100% organic cotton corduroy material that really makes this one stand out. It lends the Roam cap a sort of luxurious and chunky feel, making it the perfect companion for rough and ready adventures in the van or late nights round the campfire. There are embroidered eyelets in the crown for ventilation, and an adjustable buckle back will ensure a secure fit when the breeze gets up
Flashy technical outerwear is all well and good, but the foundation for all-day comfort in the great outdoors is a solid baselayer. Unfortunately, most are tight-fitting and uninspired, made from flimsy fabrics that look like Swiss cheese after a week or two on the trail.
Enter New Zealand-based brand, Mons Royale, born out of the Kiwi snow sports scene in the mountains above Lake Wanaka. Making merino base layers, jerseys and sweaters is what they do – and it really shows.
Just about everything in the Mons range is built around ethically and sustainably produced merino wool – a fibre with so many miracle properties that only Mother Nature could have come up with it. But it’s Mons Royale’s more relaxed approach to design that really makes them stand out. Constructed for comfort and flexibility, their base layers fit like your favourite T-shirt, rather than feeling as if they’ve been sprayed on.
We love Mons Royale because it’s technical stuff that looks good enough to wear every day. The cuts are casual, the pastel colours are cool but muted, and the branding isn’t too full-on. Take your Mons kit out for a day on the mountain, then stick the bike or climbing gear back in the van, switch the shorts for a clean pair of jeans and you’re all set to go for a post-adventure beer.
