Sue - 2010-01-23Warm, windproof, lightweight & cute
I live in MD, and wear this in temps down into the 30's. I prefer my fur-lined Mad Bomber hats when it's colder and windier. This hat is esp. cute in contrasting colors. I have a VERY small head. I wear size Small and it's a bit large - but NOT too big...This hat is a winter staple for me.
John Chaya - 2010-01-23Good size
Very roomy for my big head! Wish the cord was longer, though. Great mid-weight winter hat...
Kyle - 2010-01-16Light and very warm
Great for cold weather skiing. The hat fits true to size and is very thin but very warm. Have used it in the -20s with no problems.

Nimisila - 2010-01-11Best Peruvian style hat available.
I searched the net for a week before stumbling on this hat and this site. It did fit a bit snug when I first received it, but has since streched out a bit. It protects my ears and head much better than standard winder hat and much better than a bomber hat. Being able to tighten the string helps keep the hat tight against your head so wind can't blow in.
Anonymous - 2009-10-14Wind-proof & warm (mostly)
This hat is wind-proof and warm. It protects my ears from the cold wind. The fleece isn't as thick as the WindStopper fleece on the Outdoor Research Gorilla Balaclava, also sold by Altrec. This one is great for the fall or active winter; I wouldn't want to sit outside for long in a Minnesota winter with this one, though. Overall, I'd recommend it.
Anonymous - 2009-07-28Great hat
Delivered quickly, fits great--can't wait to try it out on the slopes.
Ari Macomber - 2009-03-05Stops Wind-Very warm
This hat covered my ears and kept my head warm on a very cold, windy day. Well worth the money.
Anonymous - 2009-02-17Warmth and light packing
This hat is the perfect answer to warmth and packing light. Hiking in winter is a cinch--the cinch strap is so easy to use with both gloves and mittens.
Phillip Schoenfeld - 2009-02-09Love this hat!
This hat is awesome, it stops the wind, it keeps my ears and face toasty warm. It is so comfortable I have even slept in this hat!
Anonymous - 2009-02-09As Advertised
Certainly stops the wind. I also found it comfortable to sleep in during a 6 day Rainier trip. Recent use in NH on sub-zero day ice climbing was great under a helmet, and the ability to hang it around your neck when you warm up was an added plus.
Jon - 2009-01-29Definitely blocks the wind
Really cuts the wind. Very lightweight and folds up real flat due to the 2-dimensional design -- however that and the truncated top make it a bit goofy. The chin-chord is pretty sweet and makes it super easy to fold the flaps up or let the hat hang around your neck. The only problem I had with the hat is that the stitching connecting the two different colored pieces of fabric irritated my upper forehead to no end. Probably just a quirk to my head shape.
Kathe Quinn - 2009-01-26great in the wind!
very comfy hat and it really does stop the wind. Lightweight, easy to hang around your neck if you want to take it off for awhile and not lose it. It is ok indoors too but it is great out in the wind! Very pleased with this and the other Outdoor research cap I recently bought.
dale - 2008-11-15Useful hat
I am a roofer/snow removal person in Fargo, ND. We work in weather down to -20F, most Jan mornings are below zero and wind chills hit -60F at times.
The hat keeps my head warm in those conditions.
If I get too warm, I let the hat hang around my neck till I cool off. The hat never gets lost if it is around my neck. It never is forgotten at restaurants. It is thin enough so I can put another hat over it if conditions get extreme. It covers my ears very well.
Teresa - 2008-10-19Nice fit, nice look, comfortable and light.
This soft lightweight hat is great when it's really windy. Easy to clean too.
Walter S Ferguson III - 2008-03-11Great Hat
I have never had my head and ears so warm when the windchill was -37. It weighs practically nothing and keeps my head and ears toasty warm. FINALLY I can keep my head warm.
Anonymous - 2008-02-19Excellent Noggin Coverage
Good coverage over and below ears; ample protection from sustained winds. Material isn't so thick as to cause sweating. Pretty much a must have item for those who enjoy frosty & windy conditions.
Doug G. - 2008-01-21Superb fit and function
Great cold-weather design. The Large was perfectly sized for my noggin. Compared to earlier versions of this hat from OR, the material today is softer, but just as wind resistant. Chin strap keeps wind away from ears and ensures warm cheeks.
Espen - 2007-11-24Perfect for Greenland
The shape and the fabric makes this hat perfect for cold conditions. The chin cord makes sure your ears are warm even on really cold days. I have used this model for five years in Greenland - dog sledding. And I haven´t found a hat better than this.
Anonymous - 2007-11-12Peruvian hat review
It's the warmest hat I've ever owned, I use it while riding my motorcycle at temps down to 20F, under a half helmet!!! It's great and looks cool too!!!
Jun Yi - 2007-09-07fashionable hat.
this product is very fashionable & function hat.
lightweight and warm.
good hat.
Joseph Stephens - 2007-08-26Fantastic Design & Materials
Comfortable, warm, functional - the flaps cover your ears and almost entire chin, giving great wind protection - also sheds water. Still light and thin enough to be worn under a brimmed hat, such as a Snoqualmie Sombrero. Add a neck gaiter and you're ready for Vinson Massif
Anonymous - 2007-03-14Can't go wrong with OR
Nice hat, fits well. Can be worn for long periods and protects from the wind well.
Go for it..
Roy - 2007-01-04Works Great. Just what I was looking for
Keeps my head and especially my ears warm. Very comfortable, lightweight and it doesn't make my head sweat.
Anonymous - 2006-12-28Best winter hat
Best winter hat I've ever owned! Light weight, blocks wind, comfy. Lost the first one and bought a second immediately as replacement.
Ryan - 2006-11-06Very nice!
This hat is just what I was looking for. The windstopper is great! THis isn't a very thick hat, but if your active it is perfect.
Steven Silva - 2009-12-02Great Night Cap
I sleep out a lot, often in May and into October, in the Adirondacks in NY, barely 100 miles from Canada. Gets pretty nippy, and though sleeping bag has a hood of sorts, keeping that on one's head is a challenge. This tie down, whole head and ear covering Peruvian hat makes an ideal nightcap. It is thin, soft, not too warm but keeps the chill off, and stays on your head no matter the tossing and turning.
Charles Adams - 2009-11-13Stops the wind as advertised......
The hat will stop the wind, however I live in Grand Forks, ND and the winters are very cold. Because it doesn't have any fleece for a liner I will need to wear another hat under it. My other OR hat is the alpine hat...warmer but let's the wind in......
