Outdoor Research Women's Wind Warrior Hat

My whole family has one of these hats. However, I have to say I think the sizing can be a bit inconsistent. I had purchased my hat earlier this year and one for my daughter. Recently bought one for my husband and although his was the same size as mine, the new one didn't fit him as his head is much larger circumference than mine so I ended up giving him mine (which probably had stretched just a bit) and he's happy. As far as the hat itself goes, its fit is complete on the head, nice and snug, and truly blocks cold and wind! I find it to be one of the best winter hats we've ever owned. Would definitely recommend.

Bought this same hat 4-5 years ago in the green and black version and love it. Just bought the all black version and the fit is totally different. Both are L/XL but sizing and fit are very different. The older version pulls snugly down on your head with the top of the hat touching the top of your head as it should. This new hat would be over your eyes if you pulled it down far enough for the top of your head to touch the top of the hat.(I wear a men’s 7 1/4-7 3/8) The ear flaps are also much longer making the hat fit and look somewhat like a Peruvian hat without the cinch straps. Definitely do not like the extra room in the crown of the hat which results in the hat not fitting snugly. The L/XL will definitely fit a men’s size 7 3/8 and possibly a 7 1/2. Reviews are all over the place in regard to sizing so I suspect there may be different suppliers for the same model of this hat. This hat is very expensive so I will be returning it if I can do so without losing money. Some items listed as “free returns” end up costing a restocking fee which is ridiculously high if not sold and full filled by Amazon.

Purchased L/XL. Great hat, very warm and comfortable. Provides enough room up top for long hair pulled up in bun and still covers your entire ear.

I work outdoors in the midwest, where the winters can be windy and brutally cold at times. I'm not a hat person and usually get along just fine with something covering my ears, but sometimes a hat is required.I have a very small head and this fits me just right, so I don't know that I would call it a small/medium. I think if I had an average sized head I would buy the large. I see that it is sometimes listed as a women's hat, so maybe that explains the sizing.In any case, it is soft and comfortable, cuts the wind very well, and keeps my head and ears warm.

Nice and cozy!! Very pleased with the fitting. Because I have a round head it is hard to find a beanie that fits. But that is not the case for this! Also, the material is very comfortable and nice on the skin.I tend to get a cold head easily and so I tried this product for the first time on a 3-day backpacking trip. The weather got down to 30 degrees F and with my jacket hood, my head was very warm. It held up in wind well, I never once felt cold. I will try this product in colder weather but I feel confident that it will serve me well! Thanks!

Definitely runs small! I have a 22" head circumference, and could not even get this all the way on. I've re-ordered the L/XL and hoping for better luck. I swear by the performance of Windstopper products, and the fleece is really soft... so once I get the sizing right I expect this will be a great winter and snow-camping asset! The blue in the photo is pretty true to color.

This is a great cap. Very warm and does well in the cold winds. The only issue I have is that I'm always pulling it down because it doesn't cover my ears. Needs to be constructed at least an inch deeper.

This hat is not wind proof. What a rip off.

This hat is probably almost as close to perfect as you'll find in a hat. It's VERY warm and fits very nicely, and isn't too bulky. The Windstopper REALLY works well. The only way they could make this hat better is by making the sculpted shaped part that covers your ears come down half an inch farther. As it is, it's way better than most hats for fit and for doing a good job of keeping my ears warm.

I had one of these a few years ago and it used to cover my ears perfectly. The fabric over the ears is less soundproof, so you can hear other people which is an advantage over the M H Dome Perignon. This new one is OK in terms of circumference (my head is 59cm), but it sits much too high up and only really half covers my ears, as a result there's a gap between hat and ears. The old one used to fit snugly around under each ear.The fabric is very windproof and pretty waterproof too. It is well made.It does make me look more of a twerp than usual, and frankly unless it's going to be fully functional it's not worth looking like that.I suspect the design and manufacture is not the same as they used to be.

Well made, nice and thick enough, covers ear well, deep enough too,...BUT warning to others with XL head size like myself... It is a tight fit. I would assume it will? stretch a bit over time?
