Signal band for the hunting hat made of felt and orange signal fabric Highly visible outer fabric in signal orange Rigid and twist-resistant base made of 3mm thick wool felt Adjustable hat circumference with Velcro closure Leather attachment strap for securing the hat band to prevent loss Leather loop for holding the game tag Fits all hat sizes Material composition:Outer material: 100% polyamideLining: Felt (100% pure wool)Contains non-textile parts of animal origin (leather)   Signal hatband for driven hunts, beat hunts, and all other forms of group hunts Not only is it required by safety regulations, but it also makes absolute sense for your own interest: a signal hatband on your hunting hat, along with a high-visibility vest or our warning cape, is an effective and highly visible protection for your own safety when participating in group hunts! Our signal hatband "Hauptverantwortlicher" (Main Responsible) lives up to its name, as its bright warning color is truly responsible for protecting your head.A solid base made of 3mm wool felt prevents the band from wrinkling and ensures optimal visibility of the sewn-on fabric in neon orange signal color in all directions. To prevent the hatband from being lost, it can be attached to the hatband of the hunting hat with a leather strap and Velcro closure. One part is threaded from underneath the hatband and hat, while the other part is attached from above with Velcro. The leather attachment also forms a loop where you can insert the game tag at the end of the hunting day. The adjustment for different hat sizes is also done with a Velcro closure at the back. Once adjusted, it can be easily attached or removed using the leather strap.With the "Hauptverantwortlicher," you are well-prepared and highly visible, allowing you to focus on the important aspects of the hunting day, which will hopefully end with a game tag in the loop of your stylish hatband!By the way, thanks to the same outer material, the signal hatband can be wonderfully combined with our warning cape. And if you're considering a small gift for the hunt leader before your next hunting invitation, how about presenting them with a "Hauptverantwortlicher"?

Balaclava made of soft loden fleece for frosty hunts Scarf, face mask, and hat in one Adjustable neck circumference and head size Head part can be folded back like a hood Keeps head, ears, neck, and face warm Very warm and silent loden fleece 100% pure wool One size fits all Weight approx. 150g Color: Dark brown Material compositionOuter material: 100% woolContains non-textile parts of animal origin (leather)   Balaclava "Frostbeule" dark brown Night-time ambush on wild boars: It is wonderfully quiet. The moonlight makes the frost sparkle on the wide meadows in front of the high seat, creating a beautiful scene that makes you want to spend the whole night here and almost wish that the wild boars would take a little longer before the nocturnal idyll is interrupted by the aftermath of the shot.Then, after an hour of waiting, the quietly lurking ambush hunter is puzzled by a faint red glow that starts to appear on both sides of the high seat walls and gradually becomes stronger. The mood changes as the huntsman realizes that it comes from the coverings of their own ears, which slowly begin to glow red – known as the last rebellion before the dreaded numbness.Lucky is the one who has a WALDKAUZ Frostbeule, as it not only silently saves the chilly earlobes but also protects the head and the wearer from improper hypothermia, ensuring that the well-warmed hunter's head remains cool in the decisive moment. Covering from head to neck: Practical and silent heat hood The "Frostbeule" is a combination of a loden loop, ear warmers, and a hat. A warm loop scarf made of soft loden fleece warms the neck and can be pulled up over the nose. It can be adjusted in width at its upper edge with an adjustable elastic drawstring. The loden is cut deeper in the front area so that it fits well into a lower collar cut or a partially open jacket collar.The hood is attached to the back of the scarf and protects the head and ears from the cold. It can also be adjusted in width with a drawstring and can be worn loosely or tightly around the head like a hat. If it is not needed because it is still warm enough, it can be folded back like any other hood.What's particularly nice about the design and the interaction of both parts is that the opening of the hood extends far back, allowing the ears to be "brought forward" and slightly pushed forward by the light tension of the fabric. Every hunter knows how much better you can hear when you bring the auricles forward with your hands! However, this only works when the tension of the drawstring is completely loosened. In the tightened state, the ears are covered by the fabric and well protected from the cold. Perfect addition to the Petz We have received inquiries in the past asking if the ambush sack and coat "Petz" also come with a hood. We were torn about it because on the one hand, a hood can sometimes make sense, but on the other hand, it can quickly become annoying when not needed. With the "Frostbeule," you can now extend your Petz with an extra warm collar including a hood, and you only need this additional part when the temperatures require it! Proven material For this balaclava, we use our WALDKAUZ loden fleece, which has been a proven and breathable source of warmth for many years. It is made of 100% pure wool and is exceptionally soft for loden, has good windproof properties, and is very warm. For us, it is the perfect material for warm hunting clothing. One size fits all Since men and women, tall and smaller people do not differ dramatically in head size, and the Frostbeule is adjustable, only one size is needed, which fits everyone. Area of application: Perfect for winter-cold hunts Admittedly, the hat is not considered fashionable headwear (it's a bump, after all), but it could hardly be more pragmatic. And honestly, who looks at themselves in the mirror during the ambush, except perhaps selfie-shooting Instagram influencers for whom this hat is simply not suitable. By the way, we also strongly advise against wearing the hat for shopping trips in large cities or even for withdrawing Christmas bonus money from the local savings bank to avoid misunderstandings or confusion!

Field cap for hunting made of loden and leather 580g/m loden made of 100% pure new wool Visor made of genuine velour leather One size fits all Adjustable head circumference (up to approximately 61 cm) Leather loop for attaching game tag   The "Schirmling" is a loden cap in the style of classic field caps that have proven themselves in the British and American military, park rangers, forestry, and the outdoor industry for ages. They differ from typical baseball caps, particularly in their shape, which is more cylindrical than "semi-spherical". We really like them because, unlike baseball caps, they have a more classic look. Worn a few times and crumpled in a backpack, they quickly acquire a nice fold and fit perfectly with our other loden hunting clothing. The crown and the underside of the cap's visor are made of loden cloth, while the upper side of the visor is made of high-quality velour leather. The excellent climate properties of loden cloth are beneficial in three ways: it regulates moisture, is breathable, and provides temperature balance. The flexible visor keeps the sun's rays away as well as shading moonlight, ensuring a clear view through binoculars and telescopic sights. The "Schirmling" is available in a unisex one-size-fits-all, which can be adjusted to fit almost any head circumference with its adjustable Velcro closure. The closure strap is held by a leather loop, which also serves as a holder for the game tag. Our Loden Cap "Schirmling" is available in three color variants: brown, moss green, and orange for driven hunts.   Material composition:Cap shell: 100% virgin woolVisor shell: Genuine leatherContains non-textile parts of animal origin (leather)

Color: Brown Melange Soft and very warm material Ribbed wool knit Height approximately 21 cm Width approximately 23 cm Hand-sewn leather label One size fits all Material composition:Upper material: 100% virgin woolContains non-textile parts of animal origin (leather)     Warm and soft knit beanie made of 100% Merino wool When it gets cold outside in winter, the "Hiasl" wool hat keeps you pleasantly warm while allowing optimal ventilation due to its processing and high-quality wool fiber. The hat is knitted according to our specifications and from yarn specially adapted to our loden products, so it blends perfectly into our nature-inspired color palette. The "Hiasl" is a ribbed knit hat in the style of a "beanie" made of Merino wool with a height of approximately 21 cm. It not only keeps the head warm but is also pleasantly soft due to the material. The fluffy melange yarn, with its blend of brown and dark green tones, creates an earthy and vibrant brown that complements our other natural colors. On the approximately 9 cm wide cuff, the subtle WALDKAUZ leather label was hand-sewn vertically along the ribs. By the way, there is also the "Hiasl" wool scarf made of the same material to complement the beanie.   The ways of the owl are unfathomable — or how "Hiasl" came to be... When our good friend Mathias "Hisi" (yes, the illustrator of our first aid primer!) introduced us to his friend and neighbor during one of our visits to Bayreuth, it was no coincidence: The fact that one of them manufactures hunting and outdoor equipment from loden, and the other is a co-owner of a long-established family business with a history of over 140 years, specializing for generations in the production of high-quality woolen knitwear and fabrics, was reason enough for Hisi to simply bring the two friends together—for whatever reason. What a good idea! Since the first meeting, we, together with the company Fraas, which we are talking about here, have put a lot of creative work into several projects that will be presented here at WALDKAUZ in due course.   The first result of our collaboration is this beautiful and warm set of merino wool hat and scarf, named as a small homage to its mediator, "Hiasl." By the way, the name "Hiasl" or "Hisi" is not only the Bavarian short form of Mathias but also has its origins in a baroque figure from the early hunting history of Bavaria, where Hiasl became a Bavarian Robin Hood and a wild poacher in the books. That his career ended for him in a not-so-romantic disaster, we leave aside for the sake of the beautiful story. If you want to know more, sneak along here...

With its wide brim, which gains some stiffness from its many stitching seams, it offers high protection against sun and harmful UV rays, as well as rain, snow, and other foul weather. It is lined inside with pocket lining. Two eyelets are used to attach the included hat cord, which can be easily adjusted with a cord stopper and a small leather handle. And because you really only need this cord in windy, stormy, and other adverse conditions, it is stored in the zippered secret compartment inside the hat lid and can be attached when needed. This practical pouch inside the hat also serves – in true old trapper tradition – to store important documents and emergency cash while traveling. The water-repellent wax coating is PFC-free and can be refreshed at any time with commercially available waxes. The hat is crushable, foldable, withstands heat and cold well, and if it goes overboard during a canoe trip, it won't sink immediately due to its high wax content.Which size fits me?Choosing the right size for a hat is generally not difficult: It's best to have someone else measure your head circumference along the line where you'll wear the hat. The circumference in cm corresponds to the specified hat size. If you fall between two sizes, always opt for the larger size to avoid too much pressure on your head in the end.

The cap is lined inside the head area with a very warm quilted lining, while the neck, ears, and forehead are covered with very soft and warm rabbit fur. On the outside, we use our proven mountain loden. Particularly comfortable in our design is the elastic gathered area in the back, which provides flexibility in size and ensures a comfortable yet snug fit of the cap. Depending on the cold, the cap can be closed under the chin with its leather straps to protect the ears or worn over the head to leave them uncovered. The Fur Cap "Quax" is available in three sizes, which can be roughly divided into women's and men's heads. The smaller model fits head circumferences up to 57 cm, while the larger ones range up to 60 or 62 cm.

Felt hat made of pure mountain sheep wool Thick, natural 5mm wool felt (Hat weight: 150g) 100% pure virgin wool from Tyrolean mountain sheep Hatband made of oiled nubuck leather with genuine fox fur trim Hat for male and female hunters Sizes available from 56 to 61 cm head circumference Material composition:Outer material: 100% virgin woolContains non-textile parts of animal origin (leather, genuine fur) !-- Start Passform -->   "Some heads are characterized by the hat they wear." - Peter Sirius (1858 - 1913) Rustic hunting hat made of the finest Tyrolean mountain sheep wool This is a hat that suits our taste! As the quote by the old Sirius aptly puts it, a hat is often a reflection of the character of its wearer. The WALDKAUZ "Tyrolus" hunting hat is down-to-earth but by no means boring, deeply connected to nature, and somewhat rugged in appearance. It's a character type that may not appeal to everyone and doesn't intend to. Those who like it will enjoy its company for a long time and share many stories together. The wool for the felt comes from a shepherd in the Tyrolean Ötztal. To be more precise and not mislead you as an interested reader, it comes from his sheep, which live for a significant part of the year in the high slopes of the Ötztal Alps under sometimes harsh conditions. The traditional hat factory Lembert exclusively crafts this special model of an authentic hunting hat for us. By the way, this wool felt keeps your head as warm as a good woolen hat. Finding the right hat size: How to measure your head circumference correctly? To ensure that a fitting hat arrives for you right away, it is important to know your own head circumference. It's quite simple to do: Measure your head's circumference at the widest part using a measuring tape or, if one is not available, a string. That is also the area where the hat will fit. It is important to measure snugly but without tension. It is best and most accurate to do this with the help of a second person. The measured head circumference conveniently corresponds to the hat size.
