I see on the UGQ logo they list Skullies. I don't see them on the website, so are they no longer selling them? Or are they planning to bring them for the colder months?
Don't know, but my wife & I both have them and they're great!

They removed them from the website quite a while ago. I don’t recall when, but I think it was sometime between late 2017 and early 2018. That’s all I know about that.

I never got one, but I seem to recall them taking orders for the skullies, making the batch, and doing a massdrop.

I can vouch for the quality of the Black Rock Gear down hats. Shout out to Shug, without whom I would not have known about this great piece of gear made in Seattle.

Can confirm both Black Rock's quality and Shug as my source of discovery. I like my Black Rock hat for activities where I"m not sweating buckets, so usually late in the day in camp or after a while on a summit somewhere. And their hood is unbelievably warm and a wonderful thing on a -15 degree (F) night.
We are in the process out getting this product back on line, it will be a bit before they are available as we work through the best way to add them without impacting our current lead-times and offerings.
Here are a few teasers for you, they are coming along nicely. We are in the final phase of redesign and production streamlining, we hope to have them up soon. The REALTREE one is just for fun and probably will not make the cut due to additional work required to line the REALTREE fabric with a down proof liner.

Too bad, that Realtree one would also work really well sitting in a tree stand on a cold morning.

Agreed, maybe we can get RBTR to license Realtree then we'd be good to go with a UL downproof option for the fabric.... :)
Or a hair print.. or a bald head print.. these hats look awesome! Glad they are going to be back on the site soon.
Good to have another option. I just picked up a BlackRock hat on a ridiculous $10 steal via eBay but don't know if I'd go the full $70 in the future.
Of course I say that not having the slightest idea how much these skullies run for.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a baldish dude I strongly prefer my toupees to be filled with down. It's a warmth & looks win-win

I've got a UGQ skullie and will say that they are toasty!
That Hexcam version is beautiful...I've almost pulled the trigger on these many times that you offered them. Each time that I don't I regret it.
I look forward to seeing these hit the site and maybe I can convince the better half that this would make the perfect gift...
