For those seriously cold conditions, you need a serious hat. So we took all the goodness of the Original and added an extra long, fleece-lined earband and Thinsulate™ insulation in the crown. Whether you're shoveling snow, ice fishing, or walking from your office to the car, you'll thank your Rancher.

I have had the waxed cotton cap for about ten years now. I've always wanted something warmer so I didn't have to wear a stocking or watch cap. I finally ordered the waxed cotton rancher cap. It's everything and a bag of chips. Very warm and the ear protector is top notch. All I have to do is flip my collar up and pull the ear flap down and no more cold wind on my neck and ears.
Went a size bigger than I normally do and I'm very satisfied with the fit. Great winter cap for outside activities in the cold. Very well made. Thank you!
Can you make a red hat in your new collection? ~ Hello! We do not currently have any plans to produce a solid red cap, we are sorry for any inconvenience. SK~
Looking forward to wearing it next winter
My 5th stormy kromer hat. They perform as advertised. Super warm and stay on your head no matter where you wear them. This is my 2nd ranchers model and by far the warmest one for skiing and hunting in the extreme cold weather. I highly recommend them to anyone who spends time outdoors in cold climates.
Love the style hat and quality construction. Only negative is the sizing of the hats are not true. Had to return the hat and upsize twice to get proper fit. I normally wear a 7 3/8 fitted hat and finally settled on a 7 5/8 to get a proper fit. Stormy needs to correct this issue of sizing. ~~ Good morning, We are sorry to hear you had some issues with sizing. Our styles can fit a little different, especially our Rancher Cap. Due to the extra layer of insulation, some folks do size up. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out, we'd love to chat via email or phone. SK~~
I’ve never had a cap made for cold weather. I live in Louisiana. We’ll be visiting some northern climes in the coming years.
This was the cap I was meant to wear on my Yellowstone in winter trip. I first bought an Original Kromer (Order SO10066561) 1/25/24. Upon field testing I found it didn't adequately protect my ears from wind and cold. I contacted customer service who recommended the Rancher Cap in one size smaller. I placed that order 2/9/24 (SO10068044), but, alas, it didn't arrive before my trip. I've since worn it on a cold, windy day and found it protects my ears well and have got compliments on it. I saw a number of Yellowstone guides wearing Stormy Kromers.
The hat comes in a nice box with the Stormy Kromer logo on it, and the hat inside is wrapped in a classy tissue paper also with the logo on it. The minute you take the hat out of the box you can feel the quality, and of course see it. I used a sewing type measuring tape and measured my noggin as instructed. This I did multiple times and came up with 23 inches. The sizing chart suggested a 7 3/8 and the fit is perfect. Being from the west I wasn't exposed to Stormy Kromer products. But I'm glad I've found them now! The hat looks great in a kind of retro way, it's built old school (like a tank) and it keeps my head toasty warm..and my ears also when needed. I highly recommend this hat and have no doubts it will last for many years. Thank you Stormy Kromer for manufacturing a great high quality product right here in the USA!!!
