The hat is warm, breathable and brim keeps snow off my glasses. Ear flaps cover your ears to just above the ear lobes. That works fine for temps in 20's or above with wind 15 MPH or less. If it is colder or with higher wind speeds I wear a thin lightweight headband under the hat and that works well to keep your ears warm. I use the same headband under my Tilly hat in spring and fall. The hat is slightly small. I have 2 Stetsons that are 7 1/8 and have this hat in 7 1/4 and it fits fine and didn't blow off in 40 MPH wind gusts. The Adirondack plaid matches well with the charcoal mackinaw. The black/gray plaid would also match well. The charcoal hat is a lighter shade of gray. The hat is comfortable to wear for a hour or so in a store.
