Kandahar Vintage Cross-Country Ski Hat - 1980sBarely used wool wool blend nordic ski hat with Kandahar branding. Kandahar is the "beast of the backcountry" originator of the eponymous cable style binding that is still used in the backcountry telemark community. The "flying pom" was common in the 1980s so we reckon the hat is from that period. Beautiful condition no visible holes.
