Fact #1. When you think of winter hats, you likely picture two main types: the beanie, and the ushanka, which is the Russian hat with fur-lined earflaps you've seen in movies. Each of these has its own unique origin story. The beanie has been around since at least the 13th century. The ushanka hat appeared as early as the 1600s.
Fact #2. When you were a child, in the winter your parents probably never let you leave the house without a hat. They were onto something. When your head is the slightest bit cold, the rest of your body will feel it. While the old adage that you lose 70 percent of your body heat through your head isn't true, you can still lose a lot of heat.
Fact #3. There are two main ways that your entire body can lose heat: conduction and convection. In terms of keeping your head warm, you mostly need to worry about convection. You probably don't put your head on cold objects. However, your head does interact with cold gases all day long if it's exposed.
Fact #4. Keeping your ears warm is also very important. Don't forget that your ears have almost no fat on them to keep them warm. That's why they become cold to the touch almost instantly when you go outside in the winter. Beneath the cold skin of your ears lie the nerves. These are tremendously sensitive to temperature change.
Fact #5. If you live in a very cold climate, material type will be especially important for you. Some hats are reversible, with extra-warm polar fleece on one side, and wool on the other. For less severe climates, look for a woold blend that may also combine acrylic and polyester.
