How it's used
This term specifically refers to the style of winter hat with ear flaps that can be tied up or let down. It is commonly used in Hong Kong to describe the thick, furry hats worn during travel to colder climates or by people working in extreme outdoor conditions. While it literally translates to snow hat, it is almost exclusively used for this specific trooper style rather than a standard beanie.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a standard beanie or wool cap, which are usually called 冷帽 in Cantonese. Using 雪帽 for a regular knit cap will sound confusing to native speakers.
