Moved from AZ to AK - living in AZ my entire life, had no idea what to expect from the cold in AK, and would have no reason to buy something like this in AZ, so I bought it 1) for warmth, hopefully and 2) for fun, as its just not the type of accessory you would use in Phoenix.Wore it right off the bat when I got here to North Pole, AK - and let me tell you, fits beautifully and kept my head warm on the -45 below days that I first experienced when I got here - highly recommend for any cold weather, and obviously works in arctic temperatures here in North Pole
