I've been looking for a brimmed warm hat (e.g., down-filled, covers ears) so my rain hood doesn't fall over my eyes (like when I wear a beanie). I've searched the interweb to no avail. Any tips?

Stormy Kromer, not down, but warm and will keep the hood from dropping into your eyes. Plus stays on while you hang your head out the window of your locomotive

One option is to use any lightweight ball cap. Wear the beanie over the cap. I'm a heater when walking up the mountain so I don't want a warm hat.....I wear a plain non-insulated orange cap, brim helps keep sun out of my eyes and helps me hold bino's steady. When I'm sitting and start cooling off I'll put the beanie on over it. Works well with hood from rain jacket too.

The brimmed beanie from First Lite is suprisingly warm for no more than it weighs. That said, I usually do like JCM if I'm having to cover much ground.

But I don't have a locomotive, wish I did though. When I was much younger I heard my dad say he was planning on going to college to be an engineer. For alot of my younger years I thought you had to go to college to run a train. I think I was in high school when it dawned on me that he was not talking about trains.

Ball cap and a balaclava. Mix and match with the rain coat hood as needed.

I like the Stormy Kromer.

One of the warmest hats out there. It’s a copy of the old Adventure 16 Bomber (and the later Columbia Yazoo), and the only hat worthy of sub zero temps. A nearly perfect hat.

I wear the Sitka Hudson GTX Waterfowl hat which has replaced my worn out Duck Commander hat of the same design.. it has ear flaps that fold, a bill which is perfect to keep my rain hood out of my eyes, it’s warm & mostly waterproof.
I love it.

Call me an Old Fudd but I am sporting one of these and liking it a lot. https://www.moosejaw.com/product/filson-double-mackinaw-cap_10266590?ad_id=GooglePlusBox&utm_source=GooglePlusBox&utm_medium=PLA&utm_campaign=Filson&scid=scplp3880509&sc_intid=3880509&adpos=1o20&cm_mmc=PLA-_-Google-_-SC_Shopping_NoPromo_Brand_Desktop|SC_Shopping_NoPromo_Brand_Desktop-_-google|1486604067|63167302771|284196963351|pla-379071813014|c|9028258|3880509&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy-TGtrmh5gIVeCCtBh2iewWbEAQYFCABEgLmB_D_BwE
The Yazoo hat has been a mainstay for water-fowling and if I am four wheeling in the cold. Sportsman's guide has a number of surplus military versions of the Yazoo for on the cheap prices. A wool baseball hat or Stormy Khromer and a beanie or balaclava has much to recommend it.

this one looks like the winner ! The OP wants brim to keep his hood from interfering with his vision and I fully understand that, I hate hoods for that very reason. I am not sure the Kuiu Hat has a brim long enough to do that effectively. I like all of the other features it has.
