On pretty much any early morning any time of year, it's a comfort to wear something on your head as you head out on the water.
The most popular item at Row West is the Stretch Toque. Despite the fact that it looks a little like wearing a swimming cap, this toque provides the perfect head coverage for training in cool weather.
It has found a following in cycling as well. For the past 3 years, Row West has provided Rider's Cycles with this same toque which they donate to the Tour de Rock. It fits pefectly under a bike helmet and protects your ears from freezing wind.
