Ball cap until it gets cold, then a beanie.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Orange Stormy Kromer for cold and a orange ball cap type for warmer. I have a mix of mesh back and solid back depending on the temp.

All of the above work, but for Northern New England IMO none is better than the old fashioned Jones Hat, especially for tracking.
That bill helps you push through the trees and whips, and the pocket-like fold in the back keeps the show off your neck unlike any ball cap variant.
Your ears stay open but protected on top, so no interference with hearing.
Thick woods, just put your head down and push through snow and all.
Mine have ear flaps tucked inside the hat that can fold out when needed, like when you ar sitting on a stand.
Just look at all the pics with the Benoits wearing them.

I'm a fan of the Jones cap, as well. But my old Jones cap is in really bad shape. Any idea where a person can find a well made waterproof new one in blaze orange? Bfly

I like the orange Stormy Kromer unless it gets really cold and windy. Then I switch to a no name fleece style cap with a short brim and generous ear flaps that keep out 5he wind. Add a camo fleece gaiter that can be pulled up over the face. If it’s too cold for all that, I’m out. -10F is about my limit…

A cap with a bill is needed if you are going to wear a hood in order to keep it out of your eyes. Otherwise, I wear a balaclava to keep my ears warm. If my ears get cold I am done.

I have on old fleece hat that was made for me by a friend back in the late 1980's. Still wear it, still works, a bit faded but still very warm!

I got a new Stormy Kromer in orange for Christmas, wore it out on a very chilly day and was disappointed in it. Quite. I switched back to my everyday red Stormy for the day, the difference in the two was very very noticeable. I won't be relying on the new Stormy as I had planned.

Ball cap, I always wear a jacket with a hood and I like the brim of the hat to keep my hood out of my face.

Warm weather - orange ball cap. Cold weather - put an orange watch cap over the ball cap. When the weather gets really nasty there is a hood on the coat to cover it all.

Maybe this is an Arizona/sunny state/old school thing, but I hunt with a cowboy hat. In fact, I've hunted with the same Resistol for the past 37 years. Sometimes it wears a blaze orange crown cover, sometimes it doesn't. It handles cold, rain, and snow pretty well, and it always keeps the sun off of my face. I've cradled a rifle over its crown for a steady shot on more than one occasion, too.
