I would wear a beanie under my baseball cap for sunny-but-cold days. I don't mind looking stupid (nothing I can really do to stop that) but was annoyed at having to loosen the strap on my hat and then put it back on nicer days. This hat solves it. A brim for the sun, some lining to stay warm, and optional earflaps. The facemask option is a lot more practical than I expected, and you can also fully remove it from the ear flap it's stored in. Otherwise that storage flap is stiff and looks lopsided when you have them unfastened (up or down). I like that the logo is subtle. Pleasant surprise, and clever detail: The internal stiffener of the brim is split in the middle, creating a hinge. This means you can fold this hat down to pack away (or bring as a just-in-case) without ruining the brim. Brilliant! No idea why that's not included in the product description!

Super Rad Hat
This is one of the warmest hats that I have worn. I do a lot of landscape and sports photography. That means standing outside in the elements for long periods of time just waiting. This hat looks good when the flaps are up and looks even better when the flaps are down. The added face guard is a life saver when the wind is really blowing. The fold-able brim is great, but I'm not sure it's necessary. I didn't feel like I would ever just shove this into a pocket. It's a great hat and I'm super happy I bought it.

The BEST
Great hat, especially for people with big heads. Warm, well made, quiet (noisy hats are the worst…) Actually covers my ears and back of my head properly. I’ve never found a hat that fits as well as this one. Might look a bit silly but who cares? It’s awesome. AND it keeps the snow out of your eyes…! Some different colors would be nice but I’ll buy a few of these on the off chance they get discontinued.

Warm and comfy!
I have 1" stretched ears and nothing keeps them warm. Beanies and headbands never cover my lobes so I'm always forced to wear hoods, which can get annoying when combined with my long hair. This hat fixes all my problems. Wore it camping at 30° and got too hot while collecting firewood that I had to take it off. Once I sat down to relax, I put it on and it was perfect. If I get even colder, I can always throw a hood on over it as well. Love it.

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
