Mad Bomber Chocolate Brown Supplex Pilot Aviator Hat Real Rabbit Fur Trapper Hunting Cap

This is my second order of this hat (XL one as a gift). It's my third winter using a previously purchased one for myself, and I wouldn't do without it now. I work outside and this is my go-to hat during freezing harsh winds and cold. The only negative I have to say is occasionally the fur tickles the insides of my ears, but in the scheme of things this is a small annoyance. Wearing earplugs (which I necessarily sometimes have to wear anyway) negates it; or I sometimes stuff half a cotton ball or a little piece of paper towel into each ear, which fixes it. I actually love the feeling of the fur against my cheeks... it feels luxurious. The fur has held up well, still looks great, and has not matted or degraded - even through daily winter use and scrunching/stuffing it in and out of my work backpack.I have a small head (even for a woman) and the medium size works for me. I can wear it alone, but it's a tad loose fitting and the top of it comes down lower onto my forehead than I like. Since I work construction I'm usually wearing a ballcap and I actually prefer just popping this on right over the top of it. This adds a brim as a sun shade and also keeps the hat from slipping down into my eyes when I'm working.I've found I can also wear other hats underneath it as a liner when it's really brutal outside. This hat (along with a majority of hats) won't cover the lower back of the neck. My favorite combination I discovered is wearing it over this one  Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap, Medium, Hydro  (a sun hat with flaps) as a liner during freezing winds - it provides great neck protection. This hat battens down the thin flaps of the sun hat - which I tuck into the collar of my coat for a continuous windproof neck shield with no gaps and without having to wear a bulky scarf. The combination works great! Of all the years working out in the cold I've never had a combination which kept my head/ears/neck warm, while being able to work, move, and see well like this one. While others keep messing with and shifting their coat collars up against the wind - I keep working, warm and snug as a bug in a rug.

I own a similliar hat from 13 years ago and it works great. I thought ide get this however, very, very cheaply made. Overall probably worth the cheap price but know its thin (almost see through), damaged olf fur, fur sheds, and is bald in several spots. My hat also came with a dirt stain on back.

Purchased one of these hats about three years ago and have been happy with quality and warmth, degree of protection from wind and rain. This one, same brand and style, is much thinner, less fur and more interior quilted material but both are much thinner compared to the earlier version. Price is the same, so perhaps the company is slipping on quality and materials? It certainly seems so. Side by side comparison leads one to exactly that conclusion. I'm returning the new purchase and will choose another brand seeking quality materials and construction.

I love this hat. Up until now, I have been wearing your basic knit caps that you can buy at any clothing store. Knit caps have been adequate for the most part but this hat takes warmth and comfort to a whole new level. I will never go back to basic knit caps now that I have been spoiled with this trapper's hat. I now have three of them including two with synthetic fur and one with rabbit fur. You can't go wrong with either type because both of them are much warmer than the knit hats I used to wear. Plus you will look pretty cool too.

I ordered a medium for my son who has a large head for his age (3 years old, almost 21 inch head circumference). The hat is way too big on him. I can understand this as he is only 3 and his face his small. Having said that the hat fits me pretty good and my head is 23 inches. Based on the chart I would be between a L and XL. If you are between sizes I would recommend ordering the smaller size. The interior is nylon lined. The closure is a plastic buckle (which better than velcro or a tie especially for kids). The hat appears shiny in the online pic but it's not shiny at all. Other than the sizing I am happy with the hat.

Would have given it 5 stars but it's fit is a little small. I measured my head and the chart suggested a large. My hat size is 7 1/4 I figured an x-large would allow for more circulation so that's what I ordered. The hat feels as if it's not deep enough and it rides high on my forehead. I have a normal head and forehead so it's got to be the construction of the hat in general. I did buy another hat from a different company before this one and that x-large hat fits perfectly. These are great hats and they are very very warm indeed. It's been below zero here in Montana and not once did my head get cold.

High quality and very warm but wayyyyy too small. I had a mad bomber hat for over a decade that I love. It’s starting to come apart so I ordered a new one in the same size (XL). But HOLY SMOKES it’s so unbelievably tight. I noticed at least one other reviewer reported the same thing, that he bought a replacement hat which was much smaller than his older hat. Really disappointed.

My husband put this in my cart and requested I include it with the next Amazon order. I didn’t look to see what it was aside from a bomber hat. I’m extremely anti-fur and was devastated when I realized it was real rabbit fur. Hubby said he thought it was faux fur too and offered to return it but he is extremely happy with the hat (& has worn it nonstop so that’s gross to return). Compromise is part of marriage and this is a huge compromise.That being said the hat is extremely warm. It’s well made. But it does shed. His friend who has the same hat told him later that his hat shed for about a year. The hat fits well and the overall quality is great. Personally I would only buy from the seller again if they offer non-dead animals but the shipping was speedy.

for $20, I'm super happy. I love this hat. it keeps me super warm, the rabbit fur is super soft and comfortable. the fit is perfect. it's my favourite winter hat.as a quick note: the fur only lines the lower part of the hat. look at the seam that separates the earflaps from the beanie part of the hat. the fur is only below the seam on the earflaps & lower back of the head. also the fur you can see on the forehead. I knew this before purchase, so I'm happy.

A nice warm hat especially for the ears. Had some pretty cold evening dog walks to confirm that.. It does tend to ride up, (a bit small?) but fastening the chin strap kept it in place. I like it.

Looks and feels good. Real rabbit fur. I wear a 7 3/8 and this xl fits good.Only con I have is that the inside top of hat is nylon, should have been fleece for extra warmth.

Given as a gift to my nephew with outdoor books (a theme box) and he loved it. Pretty good quality m

Ordered xxl as I have a bigger head according to size chart. I've worn many fitted hats at smaller sizes than in your chart and they fit fine but this fits as a large. Cheaper quality than expected for the price. Waste of money.
