Why would british soldiers wear those big fuzzy hats?

Mostly tradition. They serve no purpose today other than being used for ceremonial dress. They were however used in the 1800s as a practical piece of head protection as they protected the wearer from lance and saber blows from cavelry. The British Army didn't officially start using full bearskin hats until after the Napoleonic War. The hats were looted off dead French Imperial Guardsmen and kept as trophies. The British Army started outfitting only their elite troops with bearskin hats because taller hats made troops look taller and more intimidating on the battlefield. Today the hats are only used as a ceremonial headpiece for the Household Guards.
