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.
While our toques may have the traditional appearance of Canada’s beloved winter apparel, they are far from ordinary. Inside, they feature a hidden insert made of ABS polymer and EVA rubber—two innovative materials chosen for their superior durability, shock absorption, and flexibility. This combination ensures not only warmth and comfort but also an extra layer of protection against the harsh winter elements.
The ABS polymer insert helps protect against impacts, while the EVA rubber provides cushioning and shock resistance, making our toques ideal for active winter pursuits like snowshoeing, skiing, or even playing in the snow. Whether you're navigating icy streets or exploring backcountry trails, this added layer of safety lets you enjoy the outdoors with greater confidence and peace of mind.

Our Toques
With True North Hardcore Toques, you're not just wearing a toque—you're wearing an essential piece of gear that lets you embrace winter fully, without compromising on comfort or safety. It's time to step outside, stay protected, and let the adventures begin.

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 a stick, puck, a winter toque... And sometimes your trusty best friend. There's something magical about those moments, where the cold doesn't matter, and all that matters is the fun you’re having with your best pal by your side.

The Outdoor Rink
The ODR brings communities together for the love of a sport, to play hard, meet friends and leave with frozen toes and a smile!

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!
