Ice Station Papa Cap.

Ice Station Papa Cap.

 Under the light of the Southern Cross, at the frozen bottom of the South Pacific, lies Ice Station Papa — a remote Antarctic research facility manned by the Navy’s cold-weather crews.

Down here, beyond the shipping lanes and at the edge of the known world, protection from the elements is part of the daily routine. For life inside the complex and those milder days out on the ice, the station boys pull on the Ice Station Papa Cap.

Deep blue wool melton is crafted into a warm, close-fitting cap, finished with an embroidered Ice Station Papa designation patch and smooth satin internal trim. Naval in character and purpose-built for the cold, it’s a cap equally at home beneath the fluorescent lights of the operations room or topside under the pale Antarctic sun.

Standard issue for the men at the end of the world.
