Stocking Cap

On the trail at Philmont you will be gaining altitude for the first half of your trek. The higher in altitude your are, the colder the nights are. Did you know about 30% of your body heat escapes through your head? For this reason you need to make sure you have something warm to put over your head at night. Make sure it will come down far enough to go over both of your ears to keep them warm. If you are cold in your sleeping bag, put your stocking cap on and you will quickly warm up.
