Michael Dahlquist - 2008-01-04A nice piece for those windy sub zero days.
This is the best winter hat I've found. Recently we had 50 mph wind gusts here in IL. and my OR hat was a gem. Virtually windproof, very warm, and sheds water very nicely. A hat that actually covers your ears, imagine that. For my fashion friends the hat does square off at the top so take that into consideration.
Anonymous - 2007-07-11Great hat!
I purchased this last winter and it got me through the worst of our extreme cold spell in Utah, well below zero on one night out. Fits snug and keeps you very warm, but is also pretty comfortable once you go inside too. The material is great, sheds the snow and blocks the wind, it's all you need unless your in a rainstorm. I personally do not like the reflective logo (for stealth purposes haha) but I love the feel and look of the material. I would buy this product again as well as other Windpro stuff, it breathes great and is a more versatile option than a full on soft shell. Another fine OR product!
eric g - 2007-05-20GREAT VALUE
Great value. If you need some warmth during those cold cold days, this is your helping hand. GET IT NOW!
ALLEN HANSEN - 2007-01-28STAYES PUT ON MY HEAD
IT STAYS PUT AND DOESN'T COME OFF. IT'S THE FIRST ONE THAT I CAN SAY THAT ABOUT, VERY HAPPY
Anonymous - 2007-01-03Fine hat.
It's a fine hat. I bought it for my sister-in-law, who lives out in Victoria, British Columbia. She says that it is exactly what she needs - warm, lightweight, and stylish.
A. R. - 2006-12-05Pretty good!
Cuts the wind and provides the much needed warmth in winter running.
Kevin - 2006-10-27This hat is terrific
Great comfort. Warm and fits snug.
NM - 2006-07-06Comfortable, with good warmth-to-weight
The WindPro Hat offers an excellent combination of double material around the ears with a relatively lightweight construction overall. I found the L/XL to be a very comfortable, snug fit for a size 7 3/8 head; there is some expansion left in the hat, so it would presumably fit larger heads, though perhaps more tightly. I liked the grey colour with reflective OR logo, and the fact that there is a slight "scalloping" of the hat, meaning it extends slightly farther down at the back than at the front (but not as radical as in other OR "knitted" hats/toques), thus avoiding obstructing peripheral vision/eyeglasses, and simply offering a more tailored look . Excellent construction and quality control as well, and nice sale price.
Roy Schauwecker - 2006-03-13COMFORTABLE and WARM
I love this hat. Very comfortable. I've worn it all winter from running, jumping on the trampoline with the kids, hiking, biking, skiing, you name it. Perfect hat for active outdoor activites. My kids might disagree but I think it looks pretty cool as well. If you have a rather large dome, as I do, you'll find the L/XL a great fit. Much more comfortable than a one size fits all.
John Beckman - 2006-03-05excellent lid
Used in lift skiing in VT. Bitter conditions -- single digit F temps, 25-35 mph winds. Kept my ears and head in good shape. Looking forward to using it while mountaineering. Terrific product.
Mike - 2006-01-16A great value
This hat is afordable and gets the job done. I bought it because I like to run outside even in the winter. I live in northern Wisconsin, which means I needed some warm headgear. I'm satisfied with this product.
Daniel Aviv - 2006-01-03Awesome
The wind pro hat was exactly what I wanted and it fit perfectly!
Paul Rawlins - 2008-02-19Great product!
It fits perfect and is very comfortable, The only thing I was hoping for was a variety of better colors.
BergMann - 2007-11-27Almost perfect, but not enough sizes!
This hat comes so tantalizingly close to perfection that I could cry. It breathes far better than the 3 hats I have w/ Gore Windstopper inserts and lets in just enough air to vent well. The fleece is the perfect weight for aerobic workouts below 45 degrees, but due to the "hardface" treatment on the outside, the material is elastic to the point of being restrictive.This brings me to the tragic flaw of this beanie: it is sized too small and there aren't nearly enough sizes to accommodate most normal-sized heads. OR only makes 2 sizes: SM/Med & LG/X-LG. Given that my head circumference is 23" (barely a LG on the OR size chart), my LG/X-LG hat shouldn't be nearly as tight as it is. Even after an extended break-in period (including a week stretched over a volleyball!) the hat fits tighter than I'd like, so I only put it on for outings of less than 2 hours.Please OR, could you expand the size range and give us 3 or 4 different sizes?Id buy 2 more in a heartbeat if OR could just dial in the sizing.
Rob - 2007-01-31Nice hat, warm, but ill-fitted.
This is a very nice hat. It is very comfortable and very warm. It is sized large enough that it covers your ears and keeps them warm. The only problem that I have had with the hat is that the seams on the top are joined in such a way that the top fo the hat does not conform perfectly flat to the top of your head, giving it sort of a tent-like effect. If this will not bother you, this is a great hat. Also, less important, the OR logo on the front of the hat (which is made of a very nice reflective material) has begun to peel off the hat almost immediately, in fact one edge of it was raised from the moment I took the hat out of the packaging.
M.Yee - 2006-10-08would purchase this again
warm comfortable, not so tight that I still feel like I've got a band around my head for the rest of the day.
BILL B. - 2006-10-02WELL MADE PRODUCT
WELL MADE PRODUCT....BUT VERY TIGHT FITTING(I GOT AN XL)...NOT ROUND AT THE TOP LIKE IN THE PHOTO...SQUARE TOP. SUPER SOFT INTERIOR THOUGH...WOULD BUY ANOTHER IF IT WAS AN XXL.
David - 2006-03-21Great hat!
Warm and snug. Hat looks good and has a trim fit. Fleece headband is soft and warm.
adam - 2006-01-30good stuff
at it's best on the lift. when the wind is whippin' your dome won't know.
Anonymous - 2007-01-03Square Top
I love OR gear, and if it wasn't for the square sewn top not providing a form fit around my dome, I would have loved this hat. Sewn flat made the four corners on top stick out and just look awkward. I am going to try the Airfoil now.
Andrew - 2008-01-27Not WARM!
I just received this hat in the mail yesterday and it is going back. It was 34 degrees F here (NYC) last night with 7mph winds. The hat provided very little protection against the wind and my head was cold the entire time I wore the hat.The construction is very good, I got the blue hat and it was a good color. Overall it is a well made hat for milder temperatures. Take note that OR and many of the reviews seem to market this as a good winter hat, but it is very thin. Not as thin as the Gore Wind stopper material, but much thinner than you would expect. If you need a good mild weather, every day hat, then this is a good choice. But when the mercury dips, its best to look for another alternative.As to the fit, people mentioned that it was a bit to snug. I will say that the hat fits well, I have a large head (I wear a 7-5/8" brimmed hat) and it fit me well. It wears like a beanie and is quite good looking.
