I'll second that, warm as toast and waterproof.

Well I ended up at Tamarack today and bought a Bergens winter hat , after looking at a few others on the net and in real life at a few outdoors shops

Thanks for all your comments

I also use a brim hat for much the same reasons but I add a hat liner (a thin polypro beannie) to keep my ears covered in the winter - this works for me while walking. Note I also use a bandanna headband to help keep my forehead warm also.

nice and toasty

one word of warning re the loew alpine hat, it is really warm. I run hot, and can only wear mine on the coldest days, generally when there's a cold, strong wind, else I overheat. For general use I still prefer my tweed cap.

Another vote for the Lowe Alpine hats I've got two, and they are just excellent. TallMikeM's right though, they are warm.....when I'm cold enough to wear a hat though, that's just exactly what I want.
The ear flaps panel thing is just the right depth to cover that vulnerable nape of the neck bit too.

cheers,
Toddy
