The first hat I ordered was too small so I ordered the next size up. Thought I was all set for rainy day hunting. Wrong! The hat leaks where the brim joins the body of the hat so I would not call it waterproof.
Somebody was thinking when they designed this cap. The fabric resists water well, and breathes well if you aren't doing something ultra-strenuous for an extended period. The bill holds its shape well, and the crown is high enough so that if conditions warrant pulling up your parka hood, you maintain a little clearance without sacrificing warmth.
The ability to cover the tops of your ears with the tucked-in flaps makes for versatility on days that fluctuate from warmish to cool to freezing. Due to the loss of sound and peripheral vision, I hate hoods, and this cap lets you postpone putting one on.
As has been noted, you'll want to go at least a size up when you order.
