An ushanka that is too small is extremely uncomfortable and cannot be worn with the ear flaps down. Here is how to get the size right.

Measure for Winter Wear
If you plan to wear the ushanka over a thin knit hat or balaclava in winter, add 1–2 cm to your bare head measurement when selecting size. If wearing on a bare head only, go true to size.
