Comments about Outdoor Research Winter Trek Hat - Men's:

This hat is clever, but ultimately flawed. The fabric is windproof, as it should be. But the material has no stretch, so it does not snug around one's ears or head, which leaves them exposed and cold. Also, the hat is quite bulky and will not fit well under a helmet, which is a big negative for me. I can't use it cycling or skiing, which makes its usefulness really limited to things like running. I got a competitor hat with a windproof dome and stretchy material around the ears and top of the neck and I'm much happier with it. This one's going back to REI.

Does not stretch to cover the ears. Should have thought about this when I tried it on in the store. Have not thought a use for the pocket.

Comments about Outdoor Research Winter Trek Hat - Men's:

The earband section of the hat is fairly stiff so every time you tilt your head back the hat rides up on your ears and they get cold. This is a real problem when you're skiing.
