Now you'll actually want to put on a hat before you step outside!
Promising review: "Love this hat! It is perfect. I was worried that the hole would be too big. But it has elastic to keep it small to handle thick or thin hair." —Angie Gravely
Price: $14.99+ (available in a variety of colors)
And check out a similar hat with a visor.
It has a 100% polyester outer shell combined with a inner faux-fur layer for a windproof fit. Covers face, ears, nose, mouth, and even eyebrows.
Promising review: "This hat is fantastic. I love that there is a strap to hold it on and that there is the face covering that keeps pretty much my entire head warm and comfortable. The face strap is removable and the hat looks fashionable with or without the face covering. The faux-fur lining is soft and cute. Ever since we had a snowpocalypse in Boston in 2015, I am constantly looking over my shoulder for crippling blizzards and hoarding winter gear; our stores literally ran out of gloves that year. This is a must-have item for any Bostonian with PTSD (Post Traumatic Snowstorm Disorder)." —Kennedy K.
Price: $14.99+ (available in four colors)
Promising review: "The hat is great, warm to the point of 'almost too warm' with its faux-fur lining — and I live and work in Maine. Sometimes I need to take it off whilst walking because I'll work up a sweat and when the 'fur' gets damp it takes a while to dry making the hat uncomfortable. Minor inconvenience. The Neck do-dad is brilliant. No more futzing around with a scarf and figuring out how to keep the thing on in 40 MPH winds. You slip this bad boy over your head and your head-tee is protected, warm and cozy. The price is so low I worried what the quality might be. Needn't have. This set is da bomb." —G P Padillo
Price: $11.99+ (available in six colors)
Promising review: "I have an XXL size head (7 7/8) and frankly not many hats fit me at all. I can usually forget any hat that is 'one size fits most.' So I was a bit apprehensive about ordering. Well it's not slouchy, but I still love it. The picture will show how it fits a huge head LOL. The lining is SWEET :)" —Ed Osworth
Price: $8.99+ (available in five colors and more textures)
FYI, reviewers say this hat runs a bit big and several (including the pictured reviewer) layer a thin winter hat underneath for a little extra warmth.
Promising review: "This hat is the answer I've been looking for on days that are sunny and cold. I'm outside on my farm every day and wear a hat all the time. I love the wool. It looks good and blocks the wind. The brim is long and wide and nicely curved. The (fake) fur in the flap is soft and warm. A great hat for the price for the large headed. It isn't adjustable, so not suitable for smaller headed people. Despite the reviews saying it is large, I figured it would fit me since I have such a big head. (My size 7.5 Tilley brimmed hat is a little tight). It wasn't bad, but did slip a little and had to be frequently adjusted. Today I fixed that problem by wearing a thin cycling running hat underneath it. This added warmth and enough size/friction to keep the hat firmly in place. Perfect!" —Leah Mack
Price: $15.35+ (available in two sizes and three colors)
And check out a similar Carhartt cap.
This is available in neon yellow and orange, which can come in handy for runners or hunters who need visibility for safety!
Promising review: "Bought for MC helmet liner. COMFORTABLE! I use it to cover my bald head when I wear the helmet. It pulls down over my ears for warmth on the cold days. I got a medium sized melon — if that helps — and it's so comfortable that I leave it on after the ride. It's great three-season headwear. Not for the super cold or real hot days. Also doesn't leave much of a mark on my bald head like others that have sharp seams." —dougiefresh
Price: $10.95 (available in six colors)
Promising review: "Very cute hat just as pictured! Really thick and warm. It also has an extra layer of fleece inside for extra warmth, which was a nice surprise!" —Leilana Hawn-Colvin
Price: $9.99+ (available in eight colors)
Promising review: "I bought this hat for my Nonna as a Christmas gift. It's beautiful and fits her well. I just love the shape and color, so much that I want one for myself. It came in a larger box so it didn't get destroyed in transit." —Amazon Customer
Price: $20.99+ (available in nine styles and colors)
Also check out a similar bowler hat with pretty bow details.
Promising review: "Stylish black beanie hat that matches everything and warm enough for winter days. I wouldn’t spend hours in the freezing cold with it, but fine for waiting at the bus stop, taking a hike in roughly 49 degrees or higher, driving, skateboarding, playing basketball outside in the winter, going to school on a cold New England day. It’s cute. My 12-year-old son likes it. This hat is a little thinner and not AS nicely made as some others, but very acceptable for the price!" —NewEnglandMom
Price: $14.39+ (available in 24 colors)
Promising review: "It fits very well. I can be seen at night and during the day because it's about my safety." —Amazon Customer
Price: $8.99+ (available in 17 colors)
Promising review: "Wow, no puffing! Sometimes this type of hat is called an Irish Walking Hat. I don't know about Ireland, but it works in Chicago's blow, cold, and snow, as it warms the ears and head, and stays on when windy. It is very economical too. For the fashion-minded, the hat looks like what an adult would wear. This compared to those stocking ones that gives a wearer a constant squeezed face look, like a cat's wide eye glare when stuck in very close space. Worse, those ridiculous, but festive hats with the ball on top and those strings hanging from its ear flaps; yeah, Ill take you seriously. The hat is practical too. Besides being warm, you don't have to walk down the street for blocks with one hand on top of your hat, knowing that everyone is just waiting for it to blow off your head and wanting to see you run down the street dodging people and cars trying to catch it as it rolls away." —WJA Attiberry
Price: $22.99+ (available in two sizes)
Promising review: "This is my second year working in North Dakota on workover rigs. This is by far the best mask I've worn working derricks. In high wind and below-zero temps this mask was awesome. I keep a spare in my bag at all times." —Amazon Customer
Price: $11.25+ (available in three colors)
Promising review: "I used this while working at a mine in far north Alaska in January, and my head and face stayed warm when it was -22 degrees." —Photoholic
Price: $24.99 (available in five colors)
Promising review: "Used this hat in very low temperatures and my head stayed warm. I just placed an order for other colors too." —tira fountain
Price: $10.99+ (available in sets of two and several colors)
And check out an adorable hat with two poms.
FYI, this comes in one size that tends to kid kids ages 2–7.
Promising review: "Bought this for my grandson. He’s 17 months and loves wearing hats. He seems to really like the pom on top and it is so cute on him. I bought to go with his red puffer jacket (and loved the patriotic tone) and I will say the red on the hat is just slightly darker than true red. It works fine but just an FYI." —PuRL68
Price: $12.99+ (available in a variety of colors)
Promising review: "Bought this for our 19-month-old daughter to wear on vacation to Europe in December. She wore it out every single day and it works amazing well. Keeps her snug and warm and she doesn't mind it at all. The extended neck/collar makes it so she can't pull it off with her coat zipped up. Highly recommend!" —Garrison Householder
Price: $9.99+ (available in 13 colors)
Promising review: "This hat was purchased for my 102-year-old aunt to match a new winter jacket. It fits greats and she looks too cute in it! The day she received it, Aunt Dorothy decided to wear it to dinner, despite the complaints of the other patients at her assisted living. She couldn't hear them anyway. This hat is stylish, I'm sure it will keep her warm, fits well, and is a beautiful navy." —maura
Price: $14.99+ (available in a variety of colors)
FYI, several reviewer suggest sizing up one from the suggested age range.
Promising review: "This hat is adorable. It's very well made, and super soft. It's not super thick but not really thin like the normal baby caps you get at the store. My 7-month-old seems to like it and it keeps his little ears and bald head warm in the coldness of Idaho winter, so it's perfect." —ginnie collins
Price: $13.66+ (available in four sizes and eight colors)
Promising review: "Great hat! The sizing is great. I have a big head and don’t feel like it is being over stretched to get on, very flexible. It is as long as they say, so there is room for it to flop over. The inside is fuzzy, which adds much warmth. Perfect for cold days, however I don’t wear it inside because it is too warm for that. Not a problem for me. I got the blue and gray and it is just what it looks like in pictures. I love it and may buy an additional one to match my other coat." —Empty Nest Dad
Price: two for $19.99+ (available in several colors and also as a single hat)
Cousin Eddie but make it fashion is always a good idea. If I had to drain an RV's sewage tank on my vacation, I'd do it in a robe too.
Promising review: "Got this for my nephew for Christmas. We love cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation, so I got him this hat like Cousin Eddie wears in the movie. He LOVED it. Can't be the price and it's pretty decent quality." —J. Clark
Price: $14.95+ (available in 28 designs)
