Having owned another Melin hat, I thought this one would fit just right. I thought comments made by others about fit wouldn’t apply to me, but I was wrong. The hat was indeed oddly shallow, ending a full inch at least above my ears (I have a oval shape head). The A-Game hydro I own fits better. All that aside, the hat was shipped well by Walmart and not crushed or deformed. The construction and quality are superb, making the odd fit even more disappointing. I hope they correct for this in the future. The hat (Medium-Large) was returned.
