<P> An ushanka ( Russian : уша́нка , IPA : ( ʊˈʂankə ) , literally `` ear flap hat '' ) , also called a ushanka - hat ( Russian : ша́пка - уша́нка , IPA : ( ˈʂapkə ʊˈʂankə ) ) , is a Russian fur cap with ear flaps that can be tied up to the crown of the cap , or fastened at the chin to protect the ears , jaw and lower chin from the cold . An alternate manner is to bend the flaps back and tie them behind the head , which is called `` ski - style '' -- this offers less protection from the elements , but much better visibility , essential for high - speed skiing . The dense fur also offers some protection against blunt impacts to the head . </P>
