RANCHER CAP

Customer Reviews

best hat i've ever owned Review by Trevor in Michigan

Overall

I purchased the orange rancher for hunting. My head stayed so warm that I decided to get a "fancy" hat for wearing out when I'm not hunting. This is the best winter hat that I've ever owned, now I own two ranchers. I recommend them to all my friends and family. This is a must for people who like to go out in the cold, but don't want to get cold. (Posted on 12/20/10)

Outstanding Product! Review by gina

Overall

Worn a lot of different hats in the cold weather through the years as a hunter and in several US Navy SEAL Team Winter Warfare Platoons. This is by far the best hat I've ever had for being stationary (no heavy exertion) in a cold weather environment. Beautiful, wish I'd have become aware of your hats years ago. Made in USA too, I love it. (Posted on 12/19/10)

FANTASTIC HAT!!! Review by Don's gone hunting again

Overall

This is my 11th STORMY. It is my new all time, must have, favorite deer hunting cap. With my original orange STORMY I would have to wear a stocking cap over it when it got really cold, like this past weekend during the muzzleloader season here in Wis. Temps were in the single digits and windchills were 12 below. This hat performed beyond all my hopes and needs, keeping my ears, neck, and head totally warm. I did have a heavy weight stocking cap in my backpack just in case the hat fell short of keeping me warm. Never needed the stocking cap and that's one less thing I'll be carrying into the woods next year. I would like to see them make a camo version with SCENT-LOCK so I could wear that during the late season archery hunt. All you hunters should get one of these hats, they are FANTASTIC!!

Quality, Performance, Tradition, Service Review by Bald guy in the midwest

Overall

With much excitement I ordered my first Stormy Kromer hat, a Rancher model to be specific. I heard some reviews of the flaps on the regular model are too short to cover the entire ear, so I opted for the next model in the line. I received my cap via UPS very quickly and was excited to open it. Just too bad I was mistakenly sent the wrong size. I wasn't upset... in fact, I was so happy to be buying from an American company with such a storied reputation I even offered to send it back on my own dime to get a replacement. The lady on the phone said, "Tell you what... you keep that hat, and we'll send you a replacement." Astounded, I said, "Yeah, but...." She interrupted me and said, "Now it was our error, you take that hat and donate it to someone who needs it or give it to a friend", and in a couple days I had the correct Kromer in my hands.

I was blown away by the courtesy and the quality of the service. I did, in fact, pass the hat along to a friend, along with the story on the customer service I received.

I get all kinds of comments on the hat. I would nearly guarantee there's not another one in the county! At least I've not seen one. I even ran into an old man at the grocery store who in awe stopped, pointed, and with a grin on his face said, "Well, would you look at that! Nice hat!" I get looks all the time. Not that this is what I'm going for...I'm just saying people can see the quality from a mile away. Either that or they're laughing at the 30 year old who's really an 80 year old at heart. I don't care. I love the hat. I smile and go on. It's becoming a trademark.

As for performance...this is hands down the best hat I've ever owned. While I'm 30, my scalp thinks it's 80 and is a chrome dome. The Kromer is just what the doctor ordered. I think I've read or heard some others saying it's like an oven on your head. I agree. As SOON as you put it on you can feel the heat retention, not to mention the 100% wind-blocking nature of the crown as well as the extra long pull-down and fold-down ear flaps.

If I had to buy all over again, I would 100% recommend the Rancher model. It will do what the regular Kromer does, only better. For the first few weeks it seems to be a little "puffy" on one's head, but it settles down after a bit. It's just perfect.

I love the tradition....pure USA. I'm a customer for life. I have several friends who will be SK customers, too.

USA....BUY SK! USA....BUY SK! (Posted on 12/4/10)

son in law Review by woody

Overall

I went to a local supply store to purchase another Rancher cap. My son in law tried the cap on and was immediately impressed with the cap. I gave it to him - so another generation is still impressed with the functional and classic design. Again, my thanks for making a quality cap. (Posted on 11/14/10)

Made in the U.S.A. great hat Review by Crazy Cowboy

Overall

Got my hat and was more than pleased with the quality of the hat, but what else do do you expect when it is made in the U.S.A.? The hat fits great and feels great. Want to thank the Stormy crew for doing such a great job and for taking pride int he workmanship. Will be purchasing a second hat for my father as he tried to claim my hat for himself when I opened the box. (Posted on 11/9/10)

Finally a warm cap that is both comfortable and functional. Review by Hawkeye

Overall

Just broke out my Rancher for its second season. I got it as a gift from my wife who now wants one of her own. It is great for winter chores, x-country-skiing and snow shoeing. My head is always toasty and dry even with wind and snow.

Workmanship and fit are great. Thanks! (Posted on 10/31/10)

Getting pricey Review by Randy in Flagstaff

Overall

I have an original stormy kromer. Ear flaps were too short. So I sewed $2.00 of matching wool material from local fabric store with my sewing machine to extend. Works great! Flaps fold up nicely between when not needed. How come cost is nearly 25% more for Rancher vs. Original. And $5 more for orange? (Posted on 9/30/10)
