This is a pretty good hat. It's quilted inside and fur around the edges, which is fine with me. In addition it has a shell material that looks like it will be pretty good for shedding rain/slush/snow. I have to admit, I don't get the ear flaps on any of these hats. I think they've become more decorative than functional. I saw one hat that had holes for your ears to hear better and then the flaps folded down. At least that I get. On this hat they fold up and down but I guess down is supposed to provide extra warm for your ears, however they are already covered by the fur and hat itself in the up mode. I have a pretty big head so it fits very snug. I don't have a problem with it sliding down over my eyes like some of the reviews mentioned but if my head were smaller I could how that might be a possibility. All in all, I like this hat. It was a good purchase.
