The official cold-weather fur hat of the Finnish Defence Forces in the M05 winter woodland camo. With the exception that the official insignia have been removed but otherwise exactly as awesome as those who have been in the Finnish army remember. Affectionately known as the elephant’s pussy by the recruits. Finland knows a thing or two about cold. With this on, you won't have to. A traditional fur hat is very warm but more formal winter headwear than a wool cap. Unused.
Fur hats have a long history in the Finnish military. They have practically been around as long as we have had soldiers. It was actually after experiences in the Winter War of 1939 against us Finns that the Soviets adopted their now-legendary Ushanka fur hats.
Modern fur hats have many great features that our ancestors couldn’t even dream of having, such as camo patterns, and double flaps. It sure is a very versatile and reliable hat for even the coldest of winters.
This fur hat has small foldable ear flaps for a bit warmer winter days and big, thick, and fuzzy ear and neck flaps that fold down when you have the proper Finnish winter weather. When you use both, your head will not freeze! The hat fits nicely with flaps up or down, which is good in windy conditions and when riding on top of a tank or moose. Made by Image Wear, which is a Finnish company with a long history in work clothing but possibly sewn in Estonia.
