I FOUND THIS EARWARMER TO BE COMFORTABLE, SECURE AND WARM. I HAVE A MEDIUM SIZE HEAD AND I FOUND THE FIT PERFECT. THE HERRING BONE PATTERN IS GOOD LOOKING AND A DRESSIER LOOK THAN THE SOLIDS. THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE TO THIS EARWARMER. I KEEP AN EARWARMER IN EVERY COAT/JACKET AND IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT OF MY CAR.
