This is a great all-around winter hat. It's stylish for around town and when the snow starts flying the fleece flaps help to take the chilly edge off my ears.

I bought this hat while on a cross country trip at the lodge. I thought it would be a nice hat for walking on moderately cold days. The form of the hat works just fine for walking but the lack of a headband and itchy fleece leaves my forehead irritated. The hat is also a bit expensive for the lack of quality (lack of functional headband and poor quality fleece). I hope to return the hat.

I was visiting a cross country ski area when I bought this hat. I thought the hat was good looking and would be functional for walking on moderately cold days. For that purpose it is fine except it is incredibly itchy on the forehead because it lacks a headband and the fleece lining that touches the forehead is a bit prickly. It's also a bit expensive considering it's lack of quality. I'm hoping I can return it as defective.

I really like this hat for very cold days (down to the teens, Fahrenheit) taking the dog for a walk...the ear flaps are a little short for REALLY bitter cold...single digit or windy days, leaving the bottom of my ear lobes exposed. But too make the ear flaps longer would change the appearance with the flaps up too, and at that point, one should really choose a different option anyway

I love this hat - not only for the style but for the functionality. It is the perfect topper for chilly trips to the mailbox or the food market - especially for those of us with no hair. I haven't had the opportunity to use the ear flaps but that is not why I bought this lid. However if I ever get in a situation where I need the flaps I am sure they will serve their purpose well. Coincidentally, shortly after receiving the hat the current snow drought ended as the skies opened up and released many inches of new pow. I also got "that look" from my wife of several decades and have noticed random women of all ages glancing at me as I strut down the street. I may have shed a few pounds as well. Great hat with magical properties from a great company.

This hat came looking as pictured. It's nice to wear on cold sunny days when I am doing errands around town or walking the dog. It isn't amazing when its super windy, but I don't think its intended to be "technical." That said, I found the ear flaps to be warmer than I expected.
