I love the comfort and warmth of the part of the hat that covers my head. This is obviously a very well made, quality hat. However, the ear flaps don't do the job at all. They let a lot of cold air in around the front of my ears. I can tighten them down with the shoelace tie, but then it chokes my neck. It's very uncomfortable. I may try and sew a different type of tie on - something thicker and softer. To get the earflaps to be effective in blocking cold and wind, I have to tie it tight. It is not too large for me. It is snug enough it leaves a mark on my forehead. But the earflaps still bow out. I'm disappointed. I have other SK styles with the pull down earband that I love, but it only covers the tops of my ears and doesn't help with wind/cold. So I was really hoping this one would do the trick.
