Sherpa Khunga Wool Winter Hat

This classic-style Sherpa winter hat has polar fleece lined hat band for itch-free warmth. They're hand-crafted in Nepal, made of the finest lambs wool. Each Khunga Winter Hat has been individually carded and knit in the valley of Kathmandu, Nepal. The Sherpa Khunga was one of our most popular hats in 2009, and this season Sherpa has added some new colors to the line. These hats are a Powderfin favorite...they have all the warmth of wool, with the added comfort of fleece lined ears and hatband. For an everyday winter hat, the Tashi is tough to beat.The Sherpa Tashi Wool Hat is super comfortable thanks to the fleece lined headband. Hand stitched in nepal, the Tashi will keep you warm all winter long, without the typical itch that comes with wool!
