Review on Trapper Trooper Russian Windproof Ushanka by Darrin Parasson

- Made in China - Machine wash cold, do not bleach. Air Dry - 100 Polyester. In case anyone is interested, this isn't exactly a hat with earflaps design. Just another foreign AliBaba reseller exaggerating. It's similar but lacks some features. The listing picture shows at least 2 different hats. The one that got here can be seen in the first photo on the listing, with Velcro sewn around the neck. Except the photo in the listing shows it opens on the right while mine opens on the left. Weird, but whatever. I noticed the difference because it's short. The neck piece doesn't cover my whole neck and (unfortunately) my neck isn't long. It's hanging partially on my chin. This interferes with the mask. It will not fit properly, allowing strong winds to get inside. The mask can be attached to the outside or pulled over the ears with elastic bands. The latter allows her to sit better on her face and not bang against her hat's chin strap as hard. By the way, the mask is not enough to block germs or even dust. Not to mention it has a slit in the middle for your mouth. You should breathe through them, but the top overlaps the bottom so not much air can get in. However, you will have a lot of fun hitting the mask. The inner fur is very soft and the whole mask is well insulated. It's pretty hot. It is worth noting that the front of the fur is sewn on the forehead, so it cannot be used. I cut mine open so I could use it, but then it opened and closed. A little velcro held it in place. One more note: This is the third reseller I've seen claiming that black "doesn't get dirty easily." It's just stupid. So anyway. Not a real earflap but still warm enough to block the wind well. Except for the mask.
