[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There isn't much to be said about this hat other than it is exactly the great value and quality to be expected from Ergodyne. It will keep your head plenty warm in freezing temperatures. The buckled chin strap is a nice feature to ensure the hat stays snugly in place. It is comfortable for all day wear but I recommend keeping a ball cap or similar nearby incase temperatures increase throughout the day. I recommend this trapper hat to anyone for wear in cold weather.

Very warm..best cold weather hat that I have ever owned!

I have had this hat for a couple years. I only wear it on the coldest days or when I am out for extended periods. It is very warm! My first use was on an overnight camping trip with snow and a low of 4deg F. Keep my head, face and neck dry and warm (that was about all that was warm). I recently wore it while clearing snow on an open cab tractor with -20deg F windchills. Still dry and warm. The flaps make a great seal all around and it doesn’t retain body moisture. I would recommend this for cold, windy and snowy times.

Hat is machine washable which is nice. Faux fur on ear flaps is comfortable. The small ear hole flaps are not the easiest things to attach to the buttons. The ear hole flaps look dorky if they are not attached. So, I cut them off and took off the buttons. That way I don't have to mess with attaching them to the buttons. The ear hole flaps cover the ear holes, which are essentially button holes. What's the point? Your exposed face is going to get much colder or wetter than your ears will ever get.The satin crown lining is attached to the outer shell in only two places so when the bill is snapped to the shell the inner lining is pulled out with the bill, exposing the white writing on the inner lining. I sewed the inner lining to the shell on the three longitudinal crown seams for about two inches closest to the edge that runs along the bill.I wear a 7 3/8, which is a little loose on me. The L/XL is just about right for me. If you have a much larger head than mine, it may be a tight fit.The buckle on the ear flaps is much easier than one where you have to tie the flaps together. The strap can be extended 4.5 inches from its shortest length.
