Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Northwoods Trapper Hat is one of our warmest hats, with warmth comparable to our Rancher Cap. It features Lamilite® insulation and faux rabbit fur-lined earflaps that fully cover your ears and provide added protection around the neck.
-
The earflaps can be worn three ways. Snap them under your chin for maximum warmth, leave them down, or snap them on top of the hat when you don't need the extra coverage. Two snap positions under the chin let you adjust the fit for comfort.
-
First, determine your traditional hat size, then use our size chart to find the corresponding S-XXL size. Because of the trapper hat's design, the fit is more forgiving than our fitted caps while still providing excellent comfort and warmth.
-
No. The crown of the Northwoods Trapper Hat has a quilted nylon lining, and the earflaps are lined with soft faux rabbit fur. The wool outer shell provides warmth and durability, while the materials against your skin are designed for everyday comfort.
-
Dry cleaning is the best way to care for your Northwoods Trapper Hat. For small spills or stains, spot cleaning is often enough. If your hat gets wet from rain or snow, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Never put your hat in the dryer, as the heat can cause the wool to shrink.

I purchased this to wear at work on Alaska's North Slope. Extreme cold and high winds are the norm, this hat is perfect for it. I wear a simple neck gaiter to keep the wind off my neck and everything above my jacket collar stays toasty warm!

My father in law passed away and left a little money to his 5 children and I asked my husband what would he like if he could now get? This hat was his choice and he will be remembered long into the future

The cap exceeded my expectation. Hand salute to the seamstress or seamster who made it! Not one stitch out of place and just beautifully constructed.

Has great potential. Needs more insulation on top. I would add primaloft gold and also line the hat with fleece instead of the current liner. It would add some additional loft and warmth. Also, add snaps for the forehead flap instead of the stitches. Lastly, make one version with a gore tex liner. Then it will be blizzard ready.

I purchase the Trapper Hat for ice fishing and general out activities to keep warm in Northern Wisconsin winters. It has met my expectations. The reason for the for starts is the fit. I ordered according to the size chart and purchase a large. It is a little tighter than I wanted. It still works but wonder if the next size would have been a better choice.

Love this hat! Nowhere near as bulky as I thought it may be but still incredibly warm! The Lamilite insulation let’s moisture escape but still performs when the exterior of the hat is wet with snow and ice. Great USA-made hat! Thank you for offering this style!
