Review on Unisex Rabbit Fur Trapper Ushanka Russian Hat Nylon Shell Windproof Winter Cap by Brian Henley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great Hat, Terrible Face Mask.

I love to use this hat during the winter, especially when I'm in the downtown areas of Chicago. The hat is definitely warm and the fur is incredibly soft. I don't feel the wind, I can feel comfortable wearing it, and it does its job well. The face mask is a huge letdown, however. It is too small for my face and it gets confusing on how to put it on. Its also really uncomfortable to the ears, regardless if you have the hat on or not. The facemask also doesn't provide much warmth to the face or nose. It may fit on smaller faces and some people may like it, but it's definitely not going to make it better. Back to the hat, it came a little flattened and was weird putting on for the first time, but the company went above and beyond emailing me a sheet on how to reform the hat, how to wash it, and how to perform basic maintenance. It's something no one really considers, but it's something I really appreciate. I believe i would buy more hats from this company, but definitely won't recommend the facemask.

Pros
  • Very soft, slightly big but still very usable. No face covering came with it tho.
Cons
  • The nylon shell may not be breathable or allow for sufficient air circulation
