I followed the sizing specs and purchased a large, even though my head size is generally a medium across the board. Sure enough, large was too large. Follow your usual.

After years of use I got a second one. This is my most used cap. This keeps the snow off my glasses and ears, great for shoveling lots of snow. Plus it stays in my suburban or daypack almost year around, great for cold summer mornings in the mountains here. Stuffs into my daypack great, I have a stuff sun hat for when it gets warmer. My old one has been through the wash, no dryer, several times and still wears/looks like new. sizing, well the xl fits me like a glove, I wear 2xl moto helmets, starts with a K ends with M, the other is a Shoe with a i.

Pleased with this hat. I do agree with other people, but the hat does seem a bit thin when you pull down the ear flaps. I'd still buy this hat again knowing that because to me it feels very comfortable.

The color I purchased was "Black/Earth" and the colors in the photo are way off. In the photo, the colors have a warm reddish hue and you can see blue spots. The actual hat colors look washed out and muted. The material is extremely thin and barely covers your ears- this is NOT a hat for a cold day. The hat feels cheap and not worth the price in my opinion.

This is a pretty comfy, warm hat. It excels on chilly dog walks, but when the breeze kicks up, the lack of tie downs for the ear flaps leaves something to be desired.

This is not a great hat for keeping the ears warm. The flaps don't lay flat on my ears and the button holes allow cold air in as well. Not made for really cold weather. Just my opinion.

nice hat, soft and good fit. I like it. the fit guide is spot on. Ill see if it holds up a couple years and make it a 5 if so.

This is my new go to hat! Short split bill is great, easy to fold for pocket storage. Well made, good fit.

This is the best wool hat available in XL size, with a brim and ear flaps. The shorter brim is great for keeping the rain or snow off my eyeglasses. Longer brims on other hats usually get in the way of seeing up, especially tromping around the woods. The double layer keeps my head warm in most cold temps except when the wind blows hard. Comfortable too.

awesome hat, great style, i would gave 4.5 stars just because of the buttons to hold the fur ears, I would recommend it, worn in February NY, -5� C, my ears were warm and comfortable.

Love this hat. It's fun and practical. I had it with me all of last winter and would skin with it on cold days. If you have a helmet, it fits easily in your backcountry pack or you can throw goggles on and sport it for the down.

but I stil think this hat is rad. Great fit, folds up for easy packing, and it might improve your chances at the bar... depending on the bar.

Just came by UPS. Had to rip open the carton because I'd ordered an XL and wanted to find out if I'd have to return it. It fits nicely which for us guys with big heads is not the usual case. Plus I'm always trying to figure out what to do with a non-folding cap (mostly I have to stuff them under the waistline of my pants with the bill over one bun). Now I can use my pockets, The real grabber was that it matches other red/black plaid gear (which included an old XL Eddie Bauer earflap cap which was too small and not stuffable). Still wondering what the opening in the front of the cap is for .. fit? or another reason?

Never really preferred this type of hat before but what I think makes this one work for me is the 'perforated' brim. I think it accounts for the better fit, it just feels better and I think looks better on. It buttons rather than snaps, which I like. The fleece lining isn't too bulky that it makes your head look huge, but is enough to provide sufficient warmth. Can recommend this item and the only reason I'm not giving it that 5th star is because it's double-branded, on both the front and the back, that's my own little pet peeve, otherwise it's a winner.
