I love the hat. It fits great. The care that went into building my hat is obvious. I have been referring SK to all my friends. -Jason

I love the fit and comfort of the hat. I live in northern MN and this is the only hat I have been wearing this winter. The warmth has been sufficient for all but the coldest days. I will have to get a rancher style though to cover my ears completely. Don't like the looks of the rancher but i don't like cold ears either. If only the ear flaps were one inch longer. Would give 5 stars if the flaps were longer. love it otherwise. -WilRan
I stopped in the Ronning's store in International Falls, MN on my way to Ontario to hunt wolf. I was pleasantly surprised that they had an SK to fit my pumpkin (7 7/8). With this head, I buy any cap that fits. The cap kept me warm in the outdoor pursuit and I love the comfort and ease of the pull down flaps. I will be buying one in blaze for next years deer hunt. Congrats on a great American product! -Mick
I'm from Michigan and i'm proud to wear this hat knowing it was made in my home state. Living in Michigan you never know what the weather will do on you and you always want a warm head. Thanks to Stormy Kromer I can keep warm whether it being ice fishing or Trapping I know ill be warm. -TrapperStevens39
Bought the oilcloth Kromer, after years of seeing positives about the Kromer caps, to use in cold weather Yamaha Rhino desert excursions. Ordered the 7 3/8 size I normally wear. It immediately blew off under speed. Found the ear flaps can't be tied down under the chin as I mistakenly assumed they would (why bother with the string ties?). The flaps also leave most of my ears exposed to cold when folded down as far as they will go.Well-made otherwise & still useful in the rain or snow as far as the weatherproofing goes, these apparently are not made to original Kromer dimensions & while it's still a decent around-town cap, it's not the piece of serious working headgear I thought I was getting for windy & cold conditions.Kromer Merc, any chance of returning to more usable dimensions with a wider bill?(Dear DJ - Thanks for your feedback. We'll certainly look into your suggestions. Just to be sure you are using the earflaps properly, they don't "fold" but pull down over your ears. Get your fingers between the earband and the crown and give a tug. For more serious ear protection we do offer the Rancher cap. - SK Staff.) -DJ
After finishing my 12 hour shift in a busy ER, I couldn't wait to get home and open the box to my first Stormy. It looked great, felt even better and fit like a glove! The hat melted into my cranium while my wife looked at me like I was nuts. After two hours, the hat is still on my head and I can't decide if I will try it out working the longhorn cattle tomorrow or take the dogs out hunting quail. Already looking at the next one to purchase. -Side
Thank God for Stormy Kromer. And I ain't even religious. -Andy B.
Easily the best hat I've ever worn. It's durable, fits well, and keeps my head warm through even the worst of Michigan winter conditions. -Carson
I just received my 1st Stormy over the weekend. All in all i am super impressed the quality and sizing are spot on. I will make one recommendation. I like my hats a little more form fitting and not as "boxy" as these seem to be out of the box. I ordered the hat one size larger than normal and promptly ran it thru the gentle cycle with cold water. This "broke it in" perfectly. the hat fits better than most of my normal ball caps and is UBER warm. -Thomas
