Anyone have a special cap or hat that they wear while throwing snow?

I use this one Stormy Kromer. My gal said it looks like an Elmer Fudd hat.

I told her thats why I like it!! This puppy is warm.

Thanks, I just wish more people voted a thumbs up with them. Our driveway is 220 feet long from the garage door to the end.

I forget where she got her hat, it's super warm tho. The flaps come down around and go under your chin. My dad got a blue one like that at JC Pennys a few years back when he still lived up here. He doesn't need one in Florida tho. I wanted one as my Bruins hat gets soaked after I'm done and I sometimes need another hat. Goober hats are real warm. Most hunting stores carry them.

GoPro is incredible. I'm thinking of how I can mount it on the snowblower. I want a vid of the auger spinning around and eating the snow.

I always wear my old cowboy hat I've had since the early 70's. Whenever a gust of wind blows some back at me I just lower my chin and the brim keeps it off. I normally don't worry about earmuffs or a face mask unless I'm going to be out for a very long time, usually if we've had a heavy snow it means it's not real cold.

I also have a Tilley hat that I've had for like 12 years now, it won't blow off but it also won't keep me warm either. At least you're snowblowing in style.

I generally just wear a Jones hat, but if it gets down to -20 or lower, then I may break out the "Save Phace" mask or some similar cheapie from the paintball section at WallyWorld.  Good idea to get the anti-fog spray that divers/swimmers use in their masks/goggles to keep it from fogging up.  Old-school divers just spit in their mask and that seems to work just as well, but I'm thinking spit may freeze up quicker.

As a matter of fact, my Winchester Model 1894 just happens to be my favorite firearm   I even have a single action Ruger to go with it. This is western Maine, after all.

I have one, not quite as nice as my Winny, but I like it a lot.  Be careful in NJ, I think my Henry is a felony to possess in that state (magazine too big).  And yes, they did move to Bayonne.

OK Here you are, I really like this one.  It handles the blowsnow also.

Just don't accidentally wear it to the bank.
