Decent but is it worth the price?

I like the fit of the hat which is comfortable. I do not think it is worth $59 but that is just my opinion. I thought this hat would be breathable but it is the exact opposite for me. Constantly taking it off to cool down my head and i have about 1 inch of hair. This hat is definitely durable though.

Pros
  • UNISEX FIT: This cap features Melin's vintage fit, a mid depth fit with curved bill. Size Small fits head sizes 7 1/4 and under. Size Classic (Medium-Large) optimal for head sizes 7 3/8 - 7 5/5. Size XL optimal for head sizes 7 3/4 and above
Cons
  • The hat may fade over time due to exposure to sunlight

Pros
  • Awesome hat!! Would recommend!
Cons
  • The hat may shrink after washing

Expert Craftmanship

Melin hats are meticulously designed and are of the highest quality. I have several colors and types of Melin hats and wear them daily. Check out the thermal line. Keeps my head warm during the cold winter months. Thanks Melin!

Pros
  • Soft, breathable fabric keeps your head cool and dry
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those who live in areas with extreme heat

Very good product, love it. Seems like it will last several years. Coworker has one of the same brand but different model, also speaks to its quality.

Pros
  • Helps prevent heat exhaustion and sunburn on your face and scalp
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those who work in environments with high radiation levels

Great quality in my review

Great hat but revain does not deliver it in a box as instructed on the hat packaging. Otherwise the hat fits and looks great.

Pros
  • Hydro
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those who have a receding hairline

You cannot clean a white hat

I tried every recommended method to cleaning the white hat, but nothing works . Buyer beware of the white hat! Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • PERFORMANCE SNAPBACK HAT: Exterior crown has hydrophobic crown panels, laser-perforated side & rear panels for breathability, and custom soft touch snapback closure. Visor has hydrophobic exterior, water capable core, and signature under visor seal
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those who need to wear eye protection

Awesome hat! on my review.

This is honestly the best hat I've every bought. I wouldn't have gambled on such an expensive hat if not for revain's return policy. I'm glad I did!

Pros
  • Durable materials ensure the hat lasts for years to come
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those with a short face

A bit pricey in my review

Hat fits well. Not fond of white tab under brim. Seems well made, but I don’t see enough for cost.Could see paying the extra money if it was made in the USAbut made in China.

Pros
  • Mens
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those who wear glasses as it may not fit comfortably over them

Best hat I’ve ever owned! High Quality!

Not only is this hat great quality and amazing materials, it floats! But also after a sweaty workout, I can throw it in the wash and it doesn’t lose its shape. It hasn’t left sweat marks yet, and it’s very comfortable! I found my new favorite hat brand, for life!

Pros
  • Durability, fit, waterproofness: might be the best hat I’ve literally ever owned, full-stop.
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those with larger heads

The Best Hat I Have Ever Own (XL Head here)

I love the material these hat is made out of. For someone e that is active and sweats a lot.this hat rocks. I have a very large head and it is very difficult to find a hat that fits me properly. I literally own 5 Melin A-Games! Pricey both worth it in my opinion. Easy to clean as well.

Pros
  • Perfect for golfers who need a lightweight, comfortable cap on the course
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those who work in industries where head protection is required

Very nice water hat

The hat is sturdy, not too heavy & being water repellent & the ability to float makes it a great hat for the beach, ocean & pool. It should last a long time.

Pros
  • The stylish design looks great with any casual outfit
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those who wear headgear for religious or cultural reasons

Melin hats are awesome

This is my second, the first one I bought has lasted over 6 years of pool/summer abuse. Plan to order more! The hat may not be suitable for those with a preference for a different style of baseball cap.

Pros
  • The logo on the front adds a stylish touch to the hat's design
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those with a preference for a different style of baseball cap

Does exactly what it says

I was cautious too. But I now have 3 of these and 1 on the way. I was in Mexico with the all white one and went into the ocean, pool, sweat my ass off and not a single mark. I now have also the black multi camo and wear it literally all day and to the gym and still not a mark.

Pros
  • Baseball Caps
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those with an oval face shape

Awesome Construction

The Merlin A-game is one of the best made hats I have ever seen. Tight stitching, stiff yet nicely adjustable brim. The snap back is a super soft pliable material. They were even thoughtful enough and take the time to fold and iron the tag on the inside of the hat so it's hidden under the brim. Thank you Merlin. I want more colors.

Pros
  • Made with high-quality materials that resist wear and tear
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those who have unique hair textures or styles

Great product but not my preference

The hat is definitely a quality product but I think the height of the hat from the brim is what bothers me. It almost seems too tall compared to all of my other golf / baseball hats. I decided to keep it but I definitely prefer all of my other hats that I paid half as much for. I have since heard their flat brim hats are preferred over the curved brim.

Pros
  • Fits well and is dry in just one shake.
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those with allergies to certain materials

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…

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

I purchased a grey hat and it is my favorite hat! So a couple weeks later I purchased a navy hat and it fits quite a bit differently. I can adjust the strap in the back but that doesn't change the way it fits nicely around the rest of my head. I double-checked and it is the same exact size as the last hat I bought so I do not know what happened. Still a pretty good hat though.

Pros
  • Hand Wash Only
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those with shorter hair as it may slip off easily

The perfect hat! for my opinion

I got this knowing I was going to be in the hot Arizona sun for a week as well as constantly in the pool/lake/etc. It was perfect! Nice and comfortable. It floated when it flew off my head in the boat so we could circle back and get it (user error, should have had it a notch tighter). Also has been great for going on runs! The only downside is I annoy my wife telling everyone about this hat!

Pros
  • Can be worn with casual or athletic attire
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those who work in environments with extreme temperatures

Amazing build, quality, and attention to details

First off, I am not a hat person. Seldom do hats look nice on my head. Unfortunately the same can be said for this. It sits high on my small head but that is no knock on the product. It is very high quality, nicely made, with quality materials and lots of attention to detail. The hat is so nice that I am going to try the Odyssey in hopes that it looks better on my head.

Pros
  • Melin is such an incredible hat! I have several and love every one. Definitely a great buy!
Cons
  • The hat does not have a sweatband, making it uncomfortable during intense physical activity

Fits great but stains easily

The initial fit is amazing, still is. However, after just a few days of wearing it started to get visible sweat stains that just grew and grew. I’ve tried everything but cannot get rid of them. I’ve never had a hat stain this easily before.

Pros
  • Embroidered logo adds an element of style to your outfit
Cons
  • The hat may not be suitable for those with sensitive scalps
