Think about sizing up
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 this hat
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.

Great Hat
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

Perfect Winter Hat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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!

Amazing hunting winter hat
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.

This hat is one of a kind. It's AMAZING.
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.

The Best Hat for Snow Belt Winters
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

Wonderful winter pal!
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.

great, warm hat, but go a size up!
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.

insanely comfortable
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.
