It doesn't look like it would provide any protection to the ears if turned down. Soooooo, why is it there????

I am not a fan of SK hats. They are a bit too much of a Hipster-trying-not-to-be-a-hipster hat for me. The bow is cute and will snag on spruce and alder branches right and left in thick cover. But I do like a short brim which tends to help with keeping my head down on the comb - a perennial problem for me. With the average ball cap, I have a tendency to cut half the brim off. Looks like hell, but the grouse don't notice.
