OK, after spending a few days in breezy 0 F in a tree stand last year, I'm looking for a warmer hat, but it's gotta be Blaze Orange.
What I'm looking for is a warm acrylic pile hat with ear flaps - two examples are the Columbia "Yazoo" hat or the Redhead "Yukon" hat.
I have a columbia hat, and it's pretty much what I want (maybe a more silent shell material would be better), but it's not blaze, and I can't find one. I've searched locally as well as the web quite a bit.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I and 2 of my buddies use an "ELMER FUDD" style cap that we bought from Cabelas. They have fold down flaps, are insulated with thinsulate and have goretex as a waterproofer. Best hunting cap I have ever owned. We live and hunt in Ontario so we are exposed to some serious cold in November.

If you want something warm you can check out this link. www.sirmailorder.ca They sell fur hats in the bomber style with earflaps. The desciption is Rabbit Bomber Hat ( Blaze Orange/natural fur) They don’t have a picture of this hat on there web page but you can order there cataloque to see what this hat looks like. Good luck....

This thing from Cabelas is nice and cozy:

I wore it last muzzleloader season when the wind chill was -15 and the wind was blowing 25mph.......it kept my head and neck nice and warm.

Thanks much guys - getting very close to what my idea of a perfect hat would be!
If I was to find my perfect hat, it would be a blaze orange version of this:

But thanks for the ideas - obviously, some good choices if my perfect hat doesn't appear.
