it is fucking abysmal in hood format, until paired with the tin cloth jacket and you feel smug as fuck
however as a hat with the option of pulling down the ear flaps it rocks.
also had a few small bits of dead wood falling and they bounced off it in recent days
initially my wife laughed at it, but after a few weeks she now wants to get one for her dad for christmas as he does lots of woodland conservation work

I'm speechless...
This is the tricky part I find though, finding a balance between something practical, hard wearing and aesthetically pleasing. For example I have a really nice Patagonia fleece vest my girlfriend recently got me which I know would last no length of time if I were to wear it working. I'd be guaranteed to burn grinder holes in it the first day. I actually found the best item I ever wore for work was my Barbour jacket which eventually has given up due to a negligent waxing schedule on my behalf.
