It started with one...now I own 3...do they stain eventually, eventually if you sweat in them, yes...can you wash them and they look good afterwords, yes...are they awesome of you have a big head, yes...are they less hot to wear than most hats...yes.... albeit, you are wearing a hat..but its better than most temperature wise..are they built like a tank....yes..you can tell the quality is high compared to most....will it change your life? no..maybe, if you're life is about hats....is it worth the money? yes...give one a try...all shall be revealed.

Solid Hat
I wasn't sure at first, I thought it was hype. It's not hype, it's the best hat I've ever owned. Solid.

Perfect cap
One of the best caps I've ever had. Give me exactly the look I'm after while being very breathable, light, comfortable and perfect for workouts or long days outside. Highly recommend despite the high price!

Double the price for 1.5x the quality?
First off to help any potential buyers:1. The hat that was sent to me was size "M/L" not the XL as other reviewers had stated. (I had wanted an XL)2. I thought Melin hats came in boxes, mine was crushed into a media mail envelope.On first inspection I was really disappointed. The bill was tiny - it was the size of those low-end Chinese trucker hats. It was signifcantly smaller than both a New Era and a couple trucker hats I had sitting around. That said...it fit my large-weird shaped head!!! I was pretty surprised and stoked on the fit because usually smaller hats sit on top of my head rather than around it. The material feels tech-y and nice but realistically its not like it breathes any better than a normal hat.I've been wearing it for 3 days now. I personally like it and how it fits, but I will admit it is boring. It says nothing at all about me. If you're an undercover agent and want to look forgetable this is perfect!!! I didn't get any "nice hat" comments but I did get several "I can't believe you spent $60 on that thing" comments from my friends. That said most of us buy tons of hats so I don't see the problem spending more to get one that fits well.Other features: If your hat falls off a boat more than once a year - yes get this hat. If it only falls off once a year it's cheaper to just buy 2 normal hats haha. The stash pocket is a novelty but I'm not selling grams of coke to kids so I'm not sure what situation I would be in when I have zero normal pockets but still need to transport something tiny and trust it in my hat.

The crown of caps....but better than a crown.
Melin is the gold standard in caps. High quality, true fit, and, good value for the money. Low-profile color is very on point for 2024.

Horrible quality control
I REALLY wanted to like this hat, especially after spending $70 for it, but when it arrived (size XL), the stitching / assembly was the worst I've seen of any hat I've ever purchased. From left to right, there was a 0.5" / 12mm difference in height on the hat bowl with the bill straight. I looked a bit closer and found the bill of the hat was stitched on haphazardly, and the right side of the hat bowl was sitting significantly lower than the left was in relation to the bill of the hat due to the way it was stitched together.If you manage to get a good one, I do like the quality and feel of the materials used, but for $70 these kinds of quality control issues SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

good
They make great hat a little pricy

Too tight/too loose
Hat looks great. Good quality, only issue it's a snapback and one size is a little too tight and gives me a slight headache and when I go up one size it's too big and sits on my ears. My head doesn't really fill the entire inside of the hat so it kind of crinkles in the back above the adjustment strap. Have been wearing it trying to see if it will loosen up a bit because I would like to keep it but I may end up returning. Overall very high quality but their perfect fit promise has never met my head before.
