“I've purchased many different hats in the last past year, but none comes even close to the quality of this type of hat. Originally had bought the Troopers II Black/Black for my father and got me this Maroon/Black for myself. Upon opening my package I noticed the Melin Bags that came with each hat, each hat was individually packaged. After opening up the packaging, I had to admire just how different these hats look in quality, the construction was way above expectations. Tested the hat for hydrophobic qualities and sure enough, the water just beaded right off. I've never been much of a hat kind of person until I noticed how comfortable this hat was on my head. I've had the hat for 2 weeks now living in Hawaii, and I now use it on the regular base with pride, knowing I have a high quality piece for myself that attracts people's attention. Thanks.”
