Head gear, what do ya wear...

[Ghost Dancer]

For stand hunting in really cold weather I have found a fleece face mask with a wool watch cap over to be very warm.  In medium cold on stand just a wool watch cap.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Either a Kromer or an OD watch cap.

WalMart had knit wool caps on sale for $5 each a few years ago. I picked up three.

Mike Mitten recently brought up a great point about wearing multiple hats (layering). As much time as I have spent outdoors layering and dressing properly I feel really dumb for not thinking of that myself   . Thanks Mike, better late than never.

This morning it was my firstlite balacavala, smartwool watch cap and mad bomber rabbit fur hat. Usually it is the balacavala and Dayone wool ski cap. Wish I could find a wool bonnie in ASAT.

On the hood or the mad bomber or what?  I'm not cutting any flaps in my fedora.    :D

When it's COLD, I grab my KOM Bomber or a double layer wool balaclava with a brim.  Both are very warm.

I wore a headnet in the warmer months but will most likely switch to a felt fedora or stetson of some kind with a bandana next year.

I sport a cammo fleece hood with facemask in the winter. If I get a little too warm I can pull the hood part down and where the mask like a bandana.

I wear a ballcap sometimes too.

I wear a bandana when it warm out.and a fleece cap when it starts getting cold out.

I have left a long trail of hats and caps while out hunting. I figure 10,000,000 birds have been raised in wool lined nests I have supplied the material for.
 In hot weather; I wear a baseball cap; and put it on backwards to shoot. I have an anchor that does not allow for hat rims.
 When its cold; a wool watchcap is about the best thing going for me.
 When its bitter cold; a fleece balaclava and the watchcap.
  If I am putting down the miles; I overheat; and the cap goes in my pocket.
  Then birds; squirrels; weeds- whatever it is that steals my caps - ( maybe the wild relative  of the sock monster): goes to work.
 Cheaper for me to have a couple watchcaps in a zipped up pocket just in case...

... but I just got an incredibly silly looking Mad Bomber hat for Christmas that's going to get some action.  :-D

When it's not super cold, my wool felt fedora...

 

Hey GK, whats that hood attached to, looks like some decent wool?

[LKH]

Cold for us is zero and below, lots below.  I wear a homemade windbloc fleece hood with an opening big enough for my eyes.  Sometimes I put a ball cap on top of it or a wool cap if it's really cold.

That's a Ron La Clair heavyweight hood in a heavyweight longhunter shirt. In that pic, I'm also wearing a Filson vest over the whole thing.  I think it's good wool (but what do I know    :p   ) and the price is very reasonable.

[BowHuntingFool]

Thanks brother, looks toasty warm!!    

[lbows]

I have two stormy kromers one original and one rancher, the rancher style is very, very warm.

[widow sax]

I love my fleese hats thats all I wear when its cold boony when its warm. Widow

[badbadleroybrown]

I wear a polypro balaclava.  Very toasty.

I ALWAYS wear my Cabelas Camoskinz head wrap, when it's warmer I use my short bill ball cap but when it gets colder I use a German surplus hat I got from  Sportsman Warehouse. I got two for 9.95 and payed 9.95 in shipping typical for them though. I love this hat, it's OD green, got a short soft brim and ear flaps that can be velcroed up or pulled down under your chin to cover your entire head minus your face. I cut big ear holes for on my bowhunting hat and run super glue around the cut whole. The extra one I use for trapping, snow blowing etc never bothered to cut the ear holes out on. Works for me great hat. I always thought someone could make this and sell to bowhunters would make a killing!
