Dealing with the cold.
My wife got me one of these polar hoods many years ago in camo when I was spending a lot of time hunting coyotes in the UPPER. I found it to be crazy warm even in a real good wind chill day when the expanction ice on the bay was cracking like a rifle shot every so many minutes.

My old hunting partner had one along with the mittens. He never complained aboutcold hands like some of the guys did.
Best of all after keeping you warm Made in the USA

If it gets too cold, I put on my rabbit fur insulated hat I purchased at GUM department store (the people's store) in Moscow (and we are not talking Idaho) When I traveled the Soviet Union. I am sure you have all seen them. You can untie the top and the fur sides comes down over your ears. This is for when I snow blow and the wind blows the snow mist back in your face.
Most the time my Kromer takes care of the cold. It too can handle very cold weather being an insulated wool hat. Actually if you are active outside it is almost too warm. That and my Sorel Dominater -100 below boots, and my parka and we are ready for about anything.
I tried the polar hoods. In fact I have one I use when I ride snow machine because it blocks the wind so well. But it makes my head itch like crazy for some reason. So if I am just outside in bitter cold, the Kromer and then I lift and zip up the extended neck on my parka so it goes just under my nose, and I am good to go.

The polar hood is to thick To put a helmit over when snowmobileing. Turtle fur makes the cats meow for that. It is a lighter weight on the head part and double layered on the neck.

We had bought our little grandaughter a Polar fleese head cover when she lived in Minnisota nd had to walk a ways and wait for the school bus. She loved it. Now at 13 she wanted a new one for christmas since the old one is to small now. I couldn't find the web site for polar so got her a turtle fur. She saids it is OK but liked the polar one better. I bought two yesterday a blaze orange one for me and a purple one for her.
