Overall very disappointed with this product. Prior to this purchase I thought LLBean products were high quality. Purchased this item for a friend. When he tried it on for size, both sides of the chin strap broke. Then noticed one of the buttons for the ear flap was falling off. Would have simply returned the item for a refund but it was very cold, hence the original purchase. Purchased buttons for both sides of the chin strap and attached them as well as reattached both ear flap buttons. What a disappointment.
I purchased one of these hats for my husband. He says its the greatest winter hat he has ever owned. I then purchased a second one for my son and he agrees with my husband. In fact a number of my sons co-workers have asked about it and are planning to get them for themselves.
