My girlfriend doesn't like it, but I do. It fits and matches my very old blue jacket, which she also doesn't like, but I do. Walking around in public, I also feel very sheltered inside this hat's militarized comfy seclusion from the world. In other words, when I'm in public I don't feel like I'm in public when I'm wearing this hat. I feel like I'm in a personal downy wonderland.

I'm told not to wear it in ex-communist countries, so in a way you can consider the item region-locked. But I usually wear it to get night-time snacks from the taco stand, and it's cheap enough that I can consider alternatives where necessary.

Best winter hat ever. I think its a Ushanka or Russian winter hat. It combines a trapper hat, scarf and ski mask. It works great. I worked outside at -5 Fahrenheit and was still warm. I never realized how cold my neck was until I switched to this hat. My glasses fog up when I use the ski mask part but other than that its perfect. I will buy it again and recommend it to others. I wear a size 7 hat. I think it would be to small for a size 8 hat head.

I just moved from VA to WI (not the best time of year to do that move folks) and my neighbor recommended one of these trapper hats. It works great, keeps my head really warm when I walk the dog every night, even in seriously cold (-19F) weather when the dog needs his booties(!). It is easy to put on and it stays on even in strong winds and has a really comfortable fit. My only criticism is I don't use the face shield. It probably works for others, but if I wear it, my breath blows upwards and if you wear spectacles like I do they steam up and the condensation freezes so you can't see where you are going. Apart from that minor flaw these are great. I bought my wife a pink one for Christmas and she likes hers as well. Recommended.

Keeps your head, ears, neck and face toasty warm on those especially cold days. The highly reflective grey strip down the back is a nice touch so instead of appearing like your stereotypical masked murderer in all black (my husband's choice of attire) he appears like a fashionable masked murderer. I would highly advise removing the face shield when you enter any public locations...churches, stores, banks you name it. Otherwise you may find yourself on the receiving end of some strange looks and good old fashioned law enforcement interrogation techniques. *Additional bonus for all you practical jokers......if you really want to spice up your marriage or scare the crap out of your spouse I would suggest putting this on in the middle of the night and then lovingly waking up them up. Imagine the look of shear terroristic surprise on their face (True Story)!! Just make sure they aren't packing heat, a former MMA Fighter, have heart or bladder issues or any combination of these things.....otherwise the surprise is on you!! *Disclaimer: This is for entertainment purposes only do not try this at home as your individual results may vary and I assume no liability for the outcome of such foolishness*

-40 wind chills here in the upper Midwest this past week and this hat has been terrific. It offers the best protection of any hat I have owned and remains warm well below zero. The faux fur is super soft and velvety and the polyester outer shell has good wet and wind protection. The quality of construction is excellent. I have not found any areas where the stitching is off or poorly done. The snaps work well and are easily done one handed. My only concern is the Velcro used at the neck wrap and its durability. Overall I find this hat to be an exceptional purchase for the price and would not hesitate to order another.
