The hat is well made, fits well and is super warm. Snow machining, fishing, and hunting in the winter on the Kuskokwim puts gear to the test. A friend recommended the hat to me and I would pass that recommendation on.
I wanted to resume my walking regimen this winter and since I live in Mass., the need for a warm hat is most important. In years past, watch type caps seem to move up on your head or do not fully cover your ears. The Mad Bomber hat solves that problem by staying put on your head so ears and face stay warm. It also blocks the wind as the leather exterior is solid and great as a wind breaker.
