This hat fits nice, it provides warmth, some style, and blocks the sun too.

Kept head and especially ears nice and toasty. Love the hidden face cover which haven't had to use yet. Liked so much ordered as a birthday gift for a friend who walks his dogs in all types weather good or bad

I have many hats, and this will be one of my new favorites for cool weather-wear! I am normally a 7-3/8" hat size, which is Large by the size chart. It was too snug, so I returned it for a XL which fits much better. Just a touch loose, but that's better than too snug for comfort and warmth. The fit isn't poor, it just didn't align with the size chart. Can't wait to get some wear in this hat! I know it's a good hat, when my wife just shakes her head at me, ha!

I love the Whitefish Hats. Bought this to replace my last one. I wore it so much that the stitching around the snaps gave out. Super versatile and functional hat in any conditions, for everthing from nordic skiing to ice fishing.

Now, I'm a fellow that knows hats, and this is a good one. What distinguishes it from other flap hats is the baseball style bill, so you get sun protection too. It's my go-to hat for snow shoeing and other out all day winter stuff. OR - keep making it and maybe offer some other colors. Thanks

I haven't ever loved beanies because they lack a brim for the sun, brimmed beanies never feel great, and just a hat is cold. A beanie over a hat has been my best solution until I found this! Its adjustability makes it perfect for cold days. I also love the break in the brim so you can store it in a pocket or pack w/o worries. Excited to have this in my collection for years to come!

This hat is outstanding, and equally suitable for winter sports or casual wear. One of the features I particularly appreciate is the face cover, which effectively prevents my face from reflecting light during hunting trips. I'm incredibly fond of this hat and would confidently recommend it to anyone.

My regret is that I didn't get a chance to buy a Loden Camo version for my son while it was still available. They're now sold out everywhere. PLEASE OUTDOOR RESEARCH....BRING THIS BACK FOR '23-'24. PLEASE. (in the camo color) If it was sold out that quick, then it was obviously a hit! These are well thought through and very functional hats. O.R. don't change anything! LOVE IT.

I had never spent this much on a hat but am grateful I did as it is dry, warm and the ear flaps perfectly keep the chill off the back of my neck. I live in the snow belt and have to walk our dog and myself a few times a day so I am always outside and enjoying life This hat perfectly kept the blowing snow off my face and I have loved that is breathable when hiking or snow shoeing

Love this hat so much. Fits as advertised. Nice and deep, so it can be pulled down to realty keep me warm, or worn a little higher for style points. Keeps the wind and cold out very well. The brim does fold in half for easy storage.

Like all OR hats as long as you order the largest size they make it will fit snug on a normal head. Survived -20C with a wind no problem. Haven't found it to be sweaty. But it is nice to come in from the cold and take it off. Would buy it again, might buy another for a spare. Best Hat I've found this year.

I live in Illinois where it can get cold and bitterly windy during the winter. I love wearing this hat over a beanie to keep my ears cozy and out of the wind, and it works like charm! I shoveled snow for 2 hours and never got cold! That's a FIRST for me! Love it.

I'm a beanie guy, not a trapper hat guy, but this is more like a normal ball cap with ear flaps. Fit and style, far exceeded my expectations, super warm and the face mask that's tucks away is AWESOME! Wore it on a couple really cold snowshoe hikes and walking the pooch in a blizzard, worked fantastic. Not something I'd rock every day and it's also too warm if it's not brutally cold, but I'm super happy with its performance when it was needed.

The ear flaps make the whole head warm!

great hat! very warm. love the versatility and the two chinstrap button options for sizing. however, I did have to get a Large, when I would normally wear a Medium hat. I tried the Medium and it was genuinely tight on my skull.

The daily utility and simple styling of this hat are excellent. It is comfortable and warm and protects my head well when the temperatures are below 0° C. (It is time to stop clinging to impractical units of temperature such as Fahrenheit and Kelvin, don't you think? As some one else put it Celsius makes the most sense.) I am not yet commenting on durability because I have had the hat for just a couple of months. With good care, I predict that it would last a few years. I hope OR would keep this product for a long time.

see title. I'm in between a large and extra large (not an uncommon problem my hat size is 7 3/8). The flaps need at least one more snap which would allow the flaps to lie flat when not in use. As is, the look is definitely a little funky with the flaps sticking up even when fully snapped. Warmth is good to 30 degrees, I may want a bit more fur/insulation below freezing.

I love the look and function of this hat. It looks great and offers quite a bit of flexibility with respect to the temperature range in which it works. I haven't used the "mask" yet, but imagine it'll come in handy when out on winter walks with my toddler and when running errands in the mandated mask age of COVID-19. The only thing that prevents me from giving a 5-star rating is that the Fleece can get a little itchy on the forehead when temperatures rise and a little sweat starts to form; a brushed fleece headband likely would have worked better in this regard. That said, I still think the Whitefish Hat was a great purchase and I will certainly wear it regularly through the late fall and winter months.

The Whitefish Hat is vestal hat for varying weather of the Rockies (or any other cold weather place). Holding the ear flaps up, allows the for functional use in mild temperatures but when the temperature drops the ear flaps keep your head nice and warm. The built in face warmer is a nice touch, especially if you lose your buff while tramping through the woods. Would recommend to others.

Living in the PNW it's nice to have a hat that meets various conditions. The shell of the hat repels water so well I don't need to wear my shell hood when it's raining. If it's cold enough, I'll drop the earflaps down and snap them together under my chin. Super warm! If it warms up, I'll snap them together on top. But, what really makes a hat is the fit. With a big noggin, finding a great fitting hat is very difficult. My hat size is 7 5/8. The XL fits perfectly!

Don't let the classic "Cousin Eddie" looks fool you- this hat boasts a bunch of well-thought features that make it the most versatile piece of winter headwear I own! You can go from "fur up" mode that is perfect for a cool fall day, all the way to the ear flaps snugly snapped beneath your chin (appreciate the 2 snaps to account for size variance) and the built in face mask securely velcroed across your mouth and chin and tackle the absolute coldest temps and worst winter weather conditions. I always appreciate a brimmed winter hat to cut down on glare and keep the elements off my eyewear and the size on this one is just right. I fall right between medium and large in hat world and while the medium is snug with the faux fur lining, I think I prefer that to a winter hat that is too loose... but I think either size would have fit.
