I have a pretty large brain-case and always worry about online hat purchases because, as often as not, my head tends to overfill most products sized for a conventional cranium. Not so with this- fits like a glove. For my head. It's very soft, fits comfortably over my ears (which themselves aren't too dainty) and seems plenty warm for normal wear. Expedition worthy it is not, but for normal outdoor stuff, this is plenty.
