Safely Embracing Winter
Our True North Hardcore Toques are designed to add extra protection where it matters most,
so you can stop worrying and start having fun.
Our toques may have the traditional appearance of Canada’s staple apparel but inside is an hidden insert made of ABS polymer and EVA rubber.

Our Story
Growing up in Canada, we embraced winter because you had to. Winters are long and my parents didn’t like us watching TV (plus there were only two channels!) so we tobogganed, built forts, skied, skated didn’t matter. Cold toes & hot chocolate were part of life.

a Canadian pastime
On the pond all you need is skates, a stick, puck and a toque..
And sometimes your trusty best friend.

I wish I had one of these when we were in Tofino. I slipped on slippery paths and was out for a few moments. I am 79 years young. Thank you!
