Really well made product. Service department was excellent. The brim was alittle bothersome as my bowstring touched the hat at full draw. Really keeps the rain out and sun out of your eyes.

I have been wearing my hat everyday while bowhunting here in Illinois. I like the style. It performs its function, better then a ball cap or other hunting hats I have tried, especially during the warm temps of October and November that we have been experiencing.

Delivery was prompt. Arrived in perfect condition with good packing. I did not need the assistance of the customer service department for this purchase.

Comments about Fred Bear Hat:

Well made hat that is not only stylish but comfortable to wear. Can take some abuse when packing it and so far has proven waterproof. It is soft enough not to get in the way when shooting and after a short while of getting used to it I don't even know it is on my head anymore. I think I'll get a spare soon ;-)

Comments about Fred Bear Hat:

Best hunting hat for an archer. Clears the string yet provides enough shade, water proof, silent and looks good enough for church. What other hunting hat can do that?

Pros:

All Weather, Durable, Functional, Improves Experience, Lightweight

Describe Yourself:

Competitive Archer

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Fred Bear Hat:

The hat is great. The medium fit true to size. It keeps it's shape even after being crushed into a pocket. The only thing I do not like is the sweat band on the inside is cream colored, and it shows even when looking at the wearer straight on. Other than that its a great looking hat!

Comments about Fred Bear Hat:

Very solid construction, & being made in the U.S.A. is a big plus these days. Quite comfortable to wear & does not interfere with the bow string. I would feel right at home wearing it to the ranges & in the woods be it hunting or chores. I may need to get another one.

Comments about Fred Bear Hat:

I'm VERY pleased with this hat. It's got exactly what I needed; a brim that turns down in the front and back, and up on the sides, that's wide enough to cover my ears without getting way out there and in the way of my bowstring. A perfect roving or field hat, that fits in wonderfully around the campfire. It could use a leather strap instead of the ribbon, but that's an easy fix with a quick trip to the leather factory scrap bin.

Comments about Fred Bear Hat:

This is a great hat, solid and even made in the USA. I like a hat to keep the sun out of my eyes and rain off of my glasses. Never was crazy about baseball hats. This provides a cool traditional look. I wear it to work in the winter and when it rains.

I may buy a second one in case I lose it

I was always a big Fred Bear fan and a traditionalist at heart---- I like the old style of hunting clothes including plaids/dull solids---this hat is perfect for my taste. I've had two other brands--- and more expensive, but this is the best one so far!!

Comments about Fred Bear Hat:

Casual wear, hunting and hiking. Brim could be a 1/2 inch smaller and the crown could be an inch or two lower. The white sweat band on the inside could be the same color as the hat. I like it, but it could be better and more functional for a hunting hat.
