Stormy kromer hats

Postby Stefan » 11 29, 2013 •  [Post 1]

Does anyone have/used any stormy kromer hats? If so what are the pros and cons of this hat. I want to do some research before I pay 40 dollars for a hat

You absolutely cannot go wrong with a Stormy Kromer! I have two, one black and one blaze orange for where the law requires it.

If you plan to use it in some really cold weather be sure to get the one with the longer ear flaps. Priceless.

When you consider the price keep in mind two things:

Lifetime Warranty & Insurance Policy
Does my cap have a warranty? They say that when you own a Stormy Kromer, no other cap will ever satisfy your taste for comfort or quality. And we believe that’s true too, so we offer what other clothing manufacturers might consider a little crazy: If your Stormy Kromer cap ever wears out, or if there is ever a problem with the cap caused by poor workmanship or faulty material, we will replace it free of charge. All you pay is shipping. For instructions, please call us at 888-455-2253, or email us at info@stormykromer.com.

What is the Stormy Kromer insurance policy? Your new cap comes with more than a comfortable fit and rugged good looks, it also features a little protection for your peace of mind. If your Stormy Kromer cap is lost, stolen or destroyed within three years of the date of purchase, we will replace it at 50% of the current catalog price, plus applicable shipping and taxes. No questions asked. To put this free insurance policy into effect, you can register online at http://www.stormykromer.com/insurance.

And if that isn't good enough!!!

Made in the U.S.A
Where are Stormy Kromer products made? Now it might be cheaper to sew Stormy Kromer products overseas, but it just wouldn’t feel right. Instead, we bring in the best fabrics on earth and put them in the most talented hands in America. All our products are proudly manufactured in the Midwest - either our home facility in Ironwood, Michigan, or a partner facility in Wisconsin.

If it sounds like I'm a S.K fan it's cause I sure the heck am! They are like a good hunting partner.

Hope I answered your question :lol: Are you sold?

I've never worn a better hat! But as WW mentioned. It's gotta be cold!! I wear mine out feeding or breaking ice on the troughs. I'm moving to colder climate next week and can't wait to break out the Kromer!!

No doubt guys. I still take a ball cap in my pack. You can't wear that bad boy if you're pumping up a hill or if it's not cold out. But when it is.... they rock!

WW... :lol: When I like a piece of gear I love it. Also... another company with great people who think like I do. No foreign manufacturing sellouts! And half off if you lose it, drop it in the fire, or Swede steals it! That's backing up your product!!!

I live in these things! I have 6 I think. The only one I wear during weather above 40 is my waxed cotton version, but from fall through spring I pretty much do everything but sleep in my wool ones. I have a rancher model with the longer ear flaps which is great for the real cold like ice fishing.

I was in Michigan's upper peninsula last spring, where the hats are made, and decided to check out the factory store. Pretty cool to support a USA made product and they last forever, but now I have 6 just in case, HA!

See WW... I'm not the only groupie. :lol: I guess you'd make fun of me if I said I want buried in one so I won't say it. My luck I'd have the Rancher model on and end up in hell. Yikes! Spontaneous combustion for sure!!!! :shock:

Joe, do you wear a size 7 1/4 hat? Just a reminder, you would not have to worry about Swede stealing "Your hat" if you would splurge and buy an extra. I get cold at times sitting in a tree stand, and I do not like those hats that cover your face too much. What I am saying it is really your fault if Swede reappropriates a good hat in an hour of need. It looks like those Stormy K's might just be the ticket. Also, don't embroider your name or initials in "your hat". I hate picking out all of that thread. :D
