Worked 10-14hr days, many times in -17 degree weather doing snow removal in Upstate New York last winter and this hat kept my head warm at all times. Freezing wind didn't stand a chance. I lost this hat last week, I'm here on this site to purchase another one. I wore it all the time, when there wasn't any wind it was easy enough to just tuck the face shield up into the cap and flip up the ear flaps. Everyone in cold weather climates should have one of these bad boys.

I have purchased one about 5 years ago due to multiple ear surgeries and many ear infections. It has become essential to keep ears warm and free of wind at all times. This hat met and exceeded that expectation by far. The only hat I will ever use and highly recommend if warmth is a MUST for you also. Soon will own them all in each color!!! :)

I lost my first one. Just bought 4 more, 1 for hunting gear with another for backup and 1 for at home with a back up. Compact, warm, tight with ability to use the face mask or not. Efficiently accomplishes its purpose.

Buying another, that says it all

I walk my britany spaniel every night after work for about an hour in an area that has opennfields and trails through woods. I live in central Maine, and it gets cold in winter. It gets windy on the field I walk. Can you say "wind chill"? 10 below zero , or lower, is chilly. This hat is great. Keeps neck/cheeks warm. Flexible to wear as just a hat or with neck protection. Very compact. I like the way it fits without bulk, so I can pull my hood up over this hat, for even more warmth. Makes for a flexible, warm, compact system. Overall 5 stars. The only drawback is that I wish it came in " extra large." It,s just a bit snug on my noggin. One size doesn't fit all. Please read this review Carhartt, and make an XL size. My spaniel loves the cold-don't worry, she's well-cared for (and a bit spoiled :-) ).

This is very conferrable and warm. I use it all the time for work.

Received this as a Christmas present. I work outdoors so warmth and comfort are a must in the winter. This product does not disappoint! Very comfortable and very warm. If something ever happens to it, I'll get another!

I like a hat that fits snug and this one does just that. I was worried that tucking the mask inside of the hat would make it uncomfortable but you don't notice it at all.

The fleece this hat is made of is very high quality, thick and oh so warm. The face,nose cover is very soft and smooth making it comfy. The face shield folds right inside the hat if you don't want to utilize it but stays attached so it doesn't get lost. I am very pleased with it and glad I bought more than one cause my peeps were wanting it after trying it on.

I live in rural eastern Iowa. During the brutally cold winter of 2013-2014 we had what the weather man called a POLAR VORTEX, the temperature ran from 15 to 25 degrees below zero with wind speeds of 15 to 25 miles an hour, creating wind chills of 35 to 50 degrees below zero. To make a long story short, this is without a doubt the warmest most comfortable head wear I have ever wore. I highly recommend this product.
