REI Co-op Swiftland Earflap Running Hat | REI Co-op
Mind that gap between the top of your collar and the bottom of your hat with the REI Co-op Swiftland Earflap running hat. It's the warm, breathable and stretchy way to run with a warm neck and ears.

I've been pleasantly surprised by this hat. It is a stretch material with a light fleece lining. It's very comfortable and pretty warm. The ear flaps stay out of the way or pull down over and cup the ears. I've worn it on several hunts down around 32 F when my Stormy Kromer Rancher hat would be too warm. I would've just gotten a classic Stormy Kromer instead, but I wanted something that was not dry clean only. Plus the normal Stormy Kromer hat ear flaps aren't very big (the Rancher has big ones though).
The REI hat is for runners, so the front and back has a very thin reflective strip. I took a black magic marker to it and now it doesn't shine and looks stock. If that wears off, I'll use some fabric paint.
