The Original Stormy Kromer® Cap

Do yourself a favor and buy it!! Quality is unbeatable. Who offers free insurance and a lifetime guarantee? Stormy Kromer does. 50 degrees down to -10, this hat has you covered! -Proud Michigander

I love this cap! It fits perfectly and it's comfortable! Another big bonus(and important to me) is that it is made in America! You can spend 20-25 bucks for a baseball cap easily, but they are disposable and don't keep your head warm. So you pay a bit more for this hat, but it's made here, is quality made, will last for years, and keeps you warm! Rock on, Stormy! -Snappy68

Love the caps, would be nice to see a couple of diferent camo patterns, maybe outfitter camo for one. -MuddyTed

These wool caps are the best I have ever used! I have one for work and one for dress. I just ordered a waxed cotton for warmer weather, will let you know how it works. -Thad

Like I said in the review summary. KROMER ENOUGH SAID! The best hat on the market. -Tank5252

Earlier this winter I bought a red plaid Original cap. My first impression was good, and the fit was good - most caps are too small, but the XXL is roomy enough. I took it out in -10F and pulled the earband down, but after a while I found that I would have needed a wider earband and thicker cloth. For that purpose the Mackinaw cap supposedly would be better. However, the deep cold has left, and at 20F, the cap is good and warm enough. -Pete the Swede

I recently purchased the red and black Stormy Kromer cap. A wonderful product made where it should be in the good old USA. The cap fits well and it's very warm and well made. I will purchase another. -Bear Man

Like Woody said once you get the bill bent just right what a great cap...My son-in-law even wants one and he rarely wears a cap he is in contruction in the elements...Made in america by americans how can it get any better.... -Miles

Generally speaking, I'm a guy who never liked hats. One exception is when it's really cold and I simply need one. If I wear one however, I don't want it to be ugly. I'd rather suffer the cold than wear a super ugly hat. The level of warmth of any winter hat is usually in direct proportion to its degree of ugliness! By the time it's cold enough that I'm willing to wear one, I'm well within the ugly stage! I therefore went on a quest to find one that not only looked good, but was actually warm. Until recently, I didn't think the two went together. That's where the Stormy Kromer comes in. It wasn't long ago that I had my first experience with them. I'd seen them online, but was completely unaware of their history. One day while surfing the net, I did a little research. Given the fact that I was once a police officer, I knew my specific hat size. I therefore gave it a chance and ordered a brown one. As soon as it arrived and I tried it on, that's all it took. I don't even know how to describe it. It's a timeless design that looked and felt like it was custom made for me. For the first time, I didn't cringe at being caught by a friend in an ugly hat. Make no mistake. It's still a winter hat. I didn't sacrifice warmth by going with something that looked good. That really impressed me. I was so impressed that I've since purchased a black one. I even purchased a plastic case to keep them in. The guy who once hated hats, now looks forward to going out in them. I enjoy the occasional inquiry by a curious onlooker and telling them the Kromer story. Incidentally, if you're considering the original or the Mackinaw or Rancher cap, you need to ask yourself a question. When you put on a winter cap, will you be almost exclusively outdoors until you're ready to put it away? If so, the Mackinaw or Rancher may be your thing. If you're like me however and keep it on whether you're in or out, the original is the one to get. I love the fact that it's a great warm winter hat in cold weather. At the same time, it doesn't overwhelm me when I come inside at normal room temperatures. They can be worn casually or dressed up depending upon the color scheme. It's the best winter hat I've ever had. It has completely changed my views on winter hats in general. Next year I'll probably purchase a charcoal gray Mackinaw coat with a matching Mackinaw hat. This is a great product from a great company. It may cost a little more, but it's an American product of great quality that deserves American support. You may save a little money on another hat, but it just won't be the same. -Robert
