Ok folks. Winter is here and while my wool caps are great they offer zero sun shade for the eyes in the morning.
Suggestions for a brimmed hat? I was thinking a felt crushable type. Looking for US made. Any local stores?

No help here. I just wear a ball cap. If it?s way cold, I still wear the ball cap and just put a hood up over it.
GI wool jeep hat like the one radar wore on the show mash

Name depends on part of the country your in.
We always called it Yukon or Storm cap.
I use the Murdochs version of this one if blizzard out. Flip the flap down and put up hood over. .

A large brim will flap around in the wind and is a distraction when shooting prone. The rear brim pushes the hat forward.
I?m disappointed. That wasn?t even close to as goofy looking as I expected. In fact, now I want one.Quote:

So I'm cheap...I wear a baseball hat and just put a beanie over the top. When it warms up, I take the beanie off.
I just one of these for xmas. The ear warmers fold inside the hat, so they disappear when not in use. Fits good, good quality, warm and looks like a regular baseball hat.

I've worn something ike this for years and love it. I wear glasses so keeping rain and snow off of them is essential. I get compliments all the time.Quote:

Glacier glasses are rated P4. I like P3's with wrap around frames so the wind can't get behind the glass.
