My four year old son wanted me to buy him a "coon" skin cap that we saw in a country store, but when I showed him the bug eyed pic he told me that he doesn't want one anymore.haha He told me that it looked scary!!!
Psalm 19:1-3 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."
Take a look at the 4 in 1 hood. I use one during the winter here in MN and it is toasty. One stays in my vehicle year round.
Quite versatile, shouldn't be too hard to make.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

It started snowing last night and has continued on and off today. Just a dusting here along the IA border region. Ready or not winter is coming.

I have one of those. Came from JC Pennys. Same price I think. It is warm and versatile.Originally Posted by steene
Gentle raindrops and mighty oceans...neither can exist without the other.
Time heals all wounds...but it usually leaves a pretty big scar.
As long as its not windy... The fleece loses a lot of heat if there's wind. Unless you can make one with a windproof shell.

My version would have .6" - 1.2" climashield xp sandwiched between 2 layers of 1.9 ripstop. Should be windproof enough I guess.

Oh yes... And be VERY warm... I'd wager that in a hood the .6" would be fine unless it gets too compressed.
I'd wear a fleece beanie inside to keep the soft fuzzy feel.

i think that would be the best warmth to weight way to go... unless you used a lighter weight ripstop.
& if you want to add to the wind resistance of the outer shell, you could always give it a shot of DWR treatment from a can.
I too will something make and joy in it's making
Good idea with the DWR. I'm thinking now of making a kind of hood, much like you and T-back were talking about. Hood with drawstring that could be pulled back down around your neck... still haven't finalized on a design.

as you see in the description you can wear it as a balaclava, a neck gaiter, or a hat. but the reason it does all those things is because it's stretchy.
i don't know how well that would work w/ a non-stretchy, insulated piece like you're talking about, but i like the versatility.
maybe one could make a modified tube. instead of a simple tube w/ the top opening at the top, it could have an opening in front w/ an elastic draw string. but it would be a liner, insulation, & shell.
just a thought
