best possible hat

[Ice-9]

I need a go-to mac-daddy serious cold-and-wind hat. Problem: a very large head. Even 2XL has been too small in the past, especially in imported hats. Any suggestions?

i've got a Seirus fleece - baclava......thats the name, seriously....lol. it's what i wear for all the cold season sports, you can wear it over your nose or under the chin, or you can just wear it down around your neck. it is very warm and dries fast. it also has a draw tite string to adjust the size of the face opening.

What kind of hat do you like- fur, brim, snorkel parka type, sports maneuvering- ie: snowmobile/skiing or just sitting/standing around? Hoods, ski mask, dog sled suppliers. Flip flaps?

Someone may be able to custom fit something to suit your tastes. I used to go to Goodwill and buy fur coats, made thirteen hats for Christmas presents one year... thinsulate and fleece inner lined... muskrat, sealskin, rabbit, etc... they were patterned after a simple helmet liner. Often got too hot! Also made boots one time, stood about two inches higher, weighed less than a half a pound apiece, feet never got cold.. ice fishing, no house -40/ with 40 mph winds on Lake Superior...over twenty layers- insulation, wool, polypropylene, thermal reflecting blankets, leather, fur, etc.

I always like the idea of the fargo hat ya know!!! Those are extremely warm i use them during the cold nights.

I still wear the wool watch cap I got when in the Navy. If it can keep my bald head toasty warm it can keep anyone's noggin warm.

When I was in Russia I brought home one of those Russian officers fur caps as a gift. Now I'm kicking myself for not bringing one home for myself! They are sort of like a troopers hat with the fold down back and earflaps only they are bigger and made of real fur. Mostly fox fur. They are incredibly warm!!!!!!!!!!

The Mad Bombers run big. I have a XXXL head and my XL Bomber fits fine.

Try any good MAN'S store like Fleet Farm or Kaplan Bros. They'll have something for you.

Big Daddy hit it on the nail. Mad Bombers are the way to go. They are warm and comfortable. I have two and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
