The Very Best,
March 23, 2013
By: Weng
from Kent, England
"Extremely light, and scrunches up into a small space.
Yet keeps my head & face completely warm in a -8°C blizzard. No additional protection needed. The hidden face cover and magnetic peak is a work of real genius. This really is the ultimate cold-weather hat.

"Just as described, and great for cold weather, though the manufacturer should have made the back cover the neck too. Material is soft and breathable."

"It is not pretty, but it will protect you in really cold weather. Walked the dog with this hat on in minus 7 degree wind chill weather. I was more comfortable than the dog."

Good foul weather hat,
February 19, 2013
By: copenhagen
from Denmark
"The good first: The hat is super lightweight and can be fitted into a pocket, for those days where a big fur ushanka is just too much bother. The lack of fur trim makes better eyesight, which is great when biking or having other need of good visibility. The front piece comes out and in place easily and gives good cover.
The bad: I recieved it crumbled up in an envelope, all wrinkled. Not a very nice 'unwrapping experience', kinda ruined it for me, but the hat itself has convinced me of its qualities. The lack of fur trim obviously gives less coverage on throat and cheeks. I high collar, neckpiece or scarf is neccesary when the ill winds blow! At minus 10-15 celsius plus windchill, this was not enough, fur ushanka required. Around minus 5 to plus 5 is the sweet zone for this hat. It is quite warm, despite being so thin. The front piece takes odour very quickly as you breathe into it, so if youre a smoker..The whole hat feels more like a lightweight windstopper-rainhat with fleece on the inside, than it does an aviator/ushanka hat..but surprisingly warm and snug and you really feel protected from the elements.
Despite the poor impression upon delivery due to human sloppyness, this hat has won my heart by its own quality!

Excellant Purchase,

"I purchased this hat from your catalog with the hopes it would be warm in cold New England winds. It has proven to be everything your catalog stated in addition to being very light weight. I would recommend it anyone."

warm and light,
January 3, 2013
By: DaveBD
from Newtown, CT
"Used last week for snowblowing the driveway in the wind. Hat was very warm, waterproof, and not bulky like other bomber style hats. Hat also has a stored face sheild that is hidden in an interior side pocket to be pulled out when needed. This is an excellent feature.....one of those hidden orvis gems."

Works very well!,
January 2, 2013
By: Denise3
from Maryland
"I bought this hat for my husband in size large. Fit just right. It's very light weight and was worried it would be too thin but he said it was very warm (he had to take it off because he was too warm). Will be perfect for sub zero weather. The face mask is an added bonus and was comfortable with plenty of coverage. Am tempted to buy one for myself."

Great hat,
December 17, 2012
By: lukeky
from Moline, IL
"This is such a great idea for a hat. Incorporating a face mask within the hat itself so you don't have to live with the hassle of carrying another piece of clothing with you. I followed the advice of several other reviewers and ordered a size larger than I ordinarily wear and it fits great. I would heartily recommend this hat."

Hat for the Elements,
December 15, 2012
By: LakeRat
from Beaver Lake, Eureka Springs, AR
"I wanted a hat to protect against the winter elements encountered in our life on the lake ... a hat that would block the wind, water and cold while I ran my boat up a cove on cold, early mornings looking for a good cup of coffee or a spot where the bass were surfacing to feed.I have definitely found it with this hat. It is simply the best hat I could have hoped for. Thanks, Orvis. I can always count on you for the best gear."

Light weight winter hat,
November 22, 2012
By: Fishcampcl
from Eau Claire, WI
"This hat is snug and secure on the head. When traveling at higher speeds on an ATV it's staying put. Wicks away sweat. Rides low on the back of the head when in the wind."
