I have a similar hat from OR, it is my favorite and works well under hoods. On Saturday we depart for a month in Wyoming and Idaho, I have narrowed it down to some where between 5-8 hats and will probably buy at least one while travelling. mike r

I have used a bandana to pad the top of a winter cap.
I have a couple of what I call neck warmers, a stocking cap with the top opened up, and resewn, when it's real cold I pull it up to my nose.

I like a merino wool balaclava topped with a baseball type cap chosen for the day's activities.

I've got too many to be able to offer one suggestion.
"Warmest" might be a double thickness blaze orange/white reversible beanie type, that I have a hard time wearing if much above zero and doing anything active. Cabelas perhaps? 20+ years old maybe. Certainly can't wear it hiking in to a hunting spot, have to wear something else until I slow down.
Multiple wool beanies, if I don't need orange. Best is a handmade felted wool one I picked up in Juneau, some lady in the area made it. Surplus wool USN watchcaps are second best.
Gray wool Stormy Kromer has been getting a good workout lately, down in the low-mid 20's most mornings now, and because it's "breathable" wool, it works even if I still have it on later in the day when it warms up.
Most times I can get by with a ball cap or wool "cowboy" hat like Charlies "packer". I've got a Stetson crushable one, and a couple of other off brand ones.
Always a stocking cap of some sort in the door pockets of the truck and cars for emergency use.
Wish I could find a good fur bomber hat, might have to look for one this winter.
Good luck with your search.

+1 Stormy Kromer for work/hunting. 100% agree, nothing better.

We are forced to wear an orange hat for hunting in PA. For cold weather, I use an insulated hardhat liner with a blaze orange knit hat over it. Yes, bald is beautiful.

I have one of these and it’s crazy how well it will keep the head warm. The other filson posted is even warmer. I prefer both of them to the Kromers. But at the end of the day a $15 carhartt acrylic watch cap will keep you as warm as anything and warmer than most.

A few years ago I threatened to show up for bird hunting wearing one of these.

+1 Stormy Kromer for work/hunting and a Filson Packer for town. Hard to beat! Have one up here now. Works well for milder temps or not blowing wind, to me so far. But when its a bit cooler I go right back to a trapper version since it covers all of my ears and down my neck some. MUCH warmer. Kromer has its place by far and I like the ear flaps can go up or down, but just not quite enough for true colder and windier to me And I always have a wool watch cap around somewhere. Plus a nomex fire hood.
