Purchasing this hat was like thumbing my nose at old man winter. I've always loved winter but often lamented the fact that it often too cold to enjoy it. Determined that I wasn't going to give in, this winter I purchased the matching Maine Warden's coat, warm boots and gloves. Last Saturday I was looking at a property for more than two hours in temperatures equivalent to -10 F and wasn't cold--not even for a minute. I'm having a ball enjoying being active and feeling alive, even if it's winter in Iowa!
It seemed like a nice hat but I wear a 7_5/8 hat size and the L/XL is way too small. This made in China hat at the largest adjustment it is too tight. The ear flaps Velcro just barley will connect under the chin. If your hat size is smaller than 7 1/2 this should fit. I had to send it back.
