Our Story

Passage was born from countless days spent on skin tracks and skiing through powder, rain, and everything in between in the coastal and interior mountains of BC, Canada. We found it frustrating that we had all this gear—jackets, skis, packs, gloves, and more—so thoroughly and intentionally designed to perform in mountain environments, yet we were left with only a cotton beanie or a branded-merch baseball cap for our heads. 

Believing there had to be a better solution, we combined our passion for gear and entrepreneurial spirit to develop and launch Passage Hat Co and our first product, the Monashee, in November 2022.

Winter 2026 marks a significant point in our journey as we split our product line into models (which dictate feature set) and shapes (which dictate the fit). This step is driven by our belief that the headwear you take on your next adventure should be just as purposefully designed to your needs as the rest of your equipment.
