“The Great:
This is the material and shape of running hats that I find the best—for looks and function.
The fabric and construction is top-notch, breathability is solid, and durability is great.
The negative:
The only thing I've found is the rubber sweatband on the front brow, underneath the brim is really good, and no sweet rolls down my forehead. HOWEVER, the sweat that happens directly under the sweatband can't go anywhere and falls down into the eyebrows or into the eyes. By comparison, I used to run in a Nike hat, similar shape, but it was cloth in the front and absorbed the sweat, pulling the sweat away from my eyebrow & eyes. [For context, I run about 100 miles a month and I live in Texas. So the heat and sweating a tremendous amount happens all year round.]
TL;DR
Perfect hat unless you're getting super sweaty.”
“I was a bit skeptical, like many others, of the price. After trying multiple cheaper running hats that eventually totaled more than the cost of the Melin and being disappointed, I decided to give it a whirl. I've got to say, it's the best hat I've ever put on my head. I'll definitely be getting another one.”
“This hat is a game changer. So light you think it flew off your head a few miles back - literally forget it’s there.
I will say - if you want to wear the hat forwards, this isn’t your best option, and I’d go with a more traditional Melin hat (a game hydro). However, if you’re like me and wear your hat backwards when you run, there’s no better options - 100% buy this immediately.
I wear no other running hats since this came in - complete game changer.”
“Got this hat for work actually. I prefer wearing hats under hard hats (gotta be 5 panel style because rivets can break your skull should you sustain injury) and found these water proof hats. Finally I gave in after months of thinking. It was a little hot at first and after a while, you get used to it real fast. Very comfy, although the shape is kinda weird bill forward. Backwards is the way to go with these hats and I’m the freshest electrician out there with these bad boys. Ordering another set soon!”
