I was curious as to how you like'em? how long are the bills, overall quality? been looking for some kind of hat to wrap my hunting atire!! Thanks, Jason
I have two. I have a short-billed wool camo one and a brown oilcloth version. I love them both. The short-billed one is my favorite, though.
Man this is to funny, as I just ordered me one yesterday. Black/Green plaid to keep the ole noggin warm this late season. A hat that's been around this long, they must be doing something right!
i have two, the camo and the red and black plaid, i like em both, they don't make the shorter billed ones anymore as far as i know, i am happy with them
How about a good guess as to how long the bill is? does it interfer with your bowstring? Thanks, Jason
I have a "long bill" version. Love the hat but it does interfere with my string.
They don't make the "short bill" version anymore??
Just in case I wear a XL.
the shorty is great....buy it you will love it, I have 4 of them....
i just measured mine and the bill is just over two and a half inches, that's the regular bill
I wear mine backwards because of the bill but other than that its a good hat.
Quotedoes it interfer with your bowstring?
My issue is....I shoot with my bow vertical. I haven't found a hat/cap yet I can shoot without it interfering.
I ended up ordering a wolfskin predator boonie from grey wolf woolens and putting velcro on the brim and raised portion to pull the brim out of my way. I just have to remember to flip it up, prior to shooting.
I have 2 kromers and like em both. I have to turn em around or the string will hit the bill. I shot a small 8 pointer a couple of years ago wearing my camo Kromer for the first time. I immediately named it the Kromer stand. Sad part is i haven't seen a deer out of it since.
Kromers are great hats--I have a few of them, and the short billed ones are the way to go for bowhunting. Picked mine up on **** last year.
They make one without a bill too. I have three of them, black wool, green wool with no bill and a green oilskin. They are warm and comfortable. The one with no bill makes a great bowhunting hat.
i use a radar hat from primos its the best
I have 2 Kromers, the red/black longbill and one of LaClairs camo short bills. My favorite hats. Quality is A#1. If I tilt it back a bit I get no string intereference.
Yup,Been wearin em fer over 25 yrs.And i agree with Roger on the tiltin back thing.
Hi all new guy here and figured I'd make this my first post. I have been wearing a kromer for years! Black wool is my favorite but I do have a green wool and green oil cloth for early season wear. Wouldnt go anywear without my kromer. Also never had any problems with the brim and a bowstring.
Heck yes! Check out my Avitar pic! I have the shorty, but it still gets in the way of my string. No problem for me...I just wear it backwards. The guys in the United Bowhunters of Illinois say I look like a terrorist....but I don't mind...and I don't try to wear it on airplanes.
I have the short brimmed wool camo LaClair model and really like it.

I have a grey wool one I wear once in awhile when i don't wear my wool boonie.
I've almost bought one for myself a couple times but always see a bunch of them damaged in the stores when I look at them. The ear flaps seem to get torn loose.
I bought one for each of my boys and they like them a lot. They've held up too so I don't know what the deal is with the damaged ones in the stores. I still prefer my Indiana Jones hat most of the time. Keeps rain off better than any other hat I've tried and it's warm too. I put a snap on the crown and one on the brim to snap it up out of the way.
I have two KOM railroaders, same style. Took them to a seamstress, had the bills cut down and re-sewn. Love em.
I have a Grey Wolf Kromer in Wolfskin cloth. It is warm and doesn't interfere with my bowstring.
Love the Kromer. Very warm, no problems with the bowstring.
Funny thing, I was leaving for work today and while walking to the car was thinking, boy it's chilly out, should get the Kromer to keep the balding noggin' warm.
I've got two...one for around town and a camo one for hunting. I love 'em. In real cold weather on stand I could use something that covers the ears a little better (so I wear a bomber hat. But for temps in the 30s and 40s they are great.
I see on the website www.stormykromer.com (http://www.stormykromer.com) that they now have a brimless hat. Should solve any string problems.
