Good choice
I’ve had my ushanka for a number of years now and it’s easily the warmest and most comfortable hat I’ve ever had.
One of the questions asks is it waterproop. As I understand it when the outer layer of a rabbits fur gets wet it compacts together and stpos water from soaking through. This certainly seems to be the case with mine as I’ve been out in all sorts of rainy weather and have never had a wet head yet.
Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another from this seller. A real winner.
Pros: Very comfy, Very warm
Cons: None so far and had it years.
Sizing: Feels large
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent Quality
Excellent Quality and Genuine. Highly recommended for the current freezing weather.
I searched extensively for one of these and it appears this one is the best offer/ value. It's just a shame they haven't got some of smaller sizes in stock now, otherwise I'd buy another.
Sizing is good - ordered size 61 and it fits perfectly.
Pros: Genuine Russian Manufacture, Very warm, Excellent Quality
Cons: Lack of smaller sizes in stock
Sizing: Feels about right

Great
If anything, I was surprised that the 61 felt a little large, so if you think you're borderline between a 59/61 with other hats, I'd recommend a 59.
The fur is incredible, as is the craftsmanship.
Overall, a great product.
Pros: Good quality, Warm
Cons: none
Sizing: Feels large

Wonderful Hat
Definitely worth spending the extra to get the real fur, rather than acrylic .. manmade fibres just can't replicate this softness. Excellent quilting inside. I've got the black .. and it's a deep, even jet. Looks great. Size is spot on .. measured my head with a cloth tape measure at 57cm. Ordered that size and my ushanka fits perfectly .. snug enough that it's never going to fly off, but not headache-inducing tight. Real quality.
Pros: Excellent construction, Reliable sizing, Natural fur softness, Looks awesome, So warm
Cons: none
Sizing: Feels about right

Very warm hat, exactly what I was after
I have been threatening to get one of these hats for a long time and finally got around to ordering one.
I reserved online and collected it myself the following day. But beware of the nearest multi story car park if like me you own a big car, because it was a very tight fit!
Anyway all was well, my car suffered no damage, the hat was/is perfect and the staff helpful and friendly.
The pictures on the website really do represent the colours available very accurately, all I need now is some cold weather!
Pros: Respectable price, Very warm, Looks good, Removable badge
Cons: I can't think of any

Decisions...
The hardest decision was deciding what color to opt for! Size worried me but having measured; ordered the largest 61cm and was not disappointed. The stitching inside at one point had come away slightly but rather than exchange, my partner tacked it nicely; nothing to shout about. Overall I was really pleased with this product and would certainly recommend. Not one for normally doing a review but this product really deserved a mention from me... enjoy people!
Pros: Looks Good, Size, Lightweight, Warmth, Quality
Cons: none

Ushanka Arrivee!
One of those ‘does exactly what it says on the tin’ moments. Ordered, despatched & received perfectly within a couple of days. Hacked it out of the packaging & tried it on in the living room – so far, so good. The acid test will be when I wear it outside when the snow hits; but to be honest, I have no doubts that the Ruskies got it right in the dome-warming department. Arctic weather? Bring in orn!

Best gift ever.
My girlfriend bought this for me for my birthday this year and it's just in time for the winter snow.
The feel of the fur on your face is soft and warm, and it feels like it's well made and durable.
It's looks nice coordinated with my brown jacket and a pear of jeans, I got told it looks goofy with the flaps up though.
Really, REALLY warm. You'll need to take it off when inside.

Wonderful hat
I don't know how long I'll be able to have this hat, as my daughter has fallen in love with it and it's currently sitting on her tiny head looking massive - I'm just going to have to buy another one :-)
It's a wonderful hat, so warm that I have to wait until just before I go out the door to put it on. The badge doesn't come attached to the hat, so if you're not going to use the badge you won't have any marks in the fur from it.
Well made, and I'm sure it's going to last many winters to come.
