Why We Like The Outdoor Research Howling Wind Fleece Cap
Icy winter breezes can be brutal, even on everyday outings. But Outdoor Research's Howling Wind Fleece Cap keeps us covered and confident. Fleece fabric blocks cold air from reaching our ears, neck, and noggin, and the old-school silhouette provides ample coverage from winter's frigid fingers.

Hat feels warm, but to small to wear. Almost like a child's hat.

Fits well. Stays on while running or hiking. For me, it was an upgrade to beanies that didn't quite stay in place during activities or needed adjusting as I moved.

Does just what it claims- very well!
This hat is exactly as advertised. Very comfortable- the fit is great for blustery winter days. The versatility of warmth, blocking wind and sun is great. When the ears get too warm, the bottom flap can flip up out of the way. Great for beginners or experts alike.

Great hat
It is warm and keeps the wind out! I wish it could flip the ear flaps up.

Mostly okay

I bought a smaller one for myself and a large for my husband. First, the good is the bill is generous and the material is decent. However, the large was too small for my husband. Also the ear flaps are just that instead of being designed to gently hug, they literally flap around. Glad I didn’t toss our old Patagonia ones!

Wanted a warm winter hat with a small visor. This cap has been perfect. I like that the back flap can be turned up or down depending on how cold it is.

Fantastic Hat
This is a great and super cozy hat for cold to very cold weather. I have enjoyed wearing it on colder days around the neighborhood, but also used it for a winter ascent of Mt. Washington last Friday and it performed admirably. It's a fine, and uniquely stylish, hat!
