Review on Melin A-Game Hydro Performance Snapback Hat: Water-Resistant Baseball Cap For Men & Women by Michael Syph

Revainrating 4 out of 5

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.

Pros
  • Good quality hat fits great.
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those with sensitive skin due to the materials used
