melin A-Game Hydro, Performance Snapback Hats, Water-Resistant Baseball Caps for Men & Women, Golf, Running, or Workout Hat

Great hat! It’s a bit smaller and rounder on the top, which futs my head perfectly!

This is one of my favorite snapbacks ever. I unfortunately, quite literally, have a big head and that makes it difficult to find caps that fit well. The Melin A-Game comes in XL thankfully and I love the way it looks, feels, and its resistance to both sweat and stains. It's super breathable and comfy to wear for a round of golf or a day at the beach. I've tried dupes before before, but the quality is honestly different. The only thing I'd change on this is the price... $69 is a lot to pay for a cap. But I have a feeling this one is going to hold up for a long long while.

Yes, it's expensive, yes I was doubtful. It started with one...now I own 3...do they stain eventually, eventually if you sweat in them, yes...can you wash them and they look good afterwords, yes...are they awesome of you have a big head, yes...are they less hot to wear than most hats...yes.... albeit, you are wearing a hat..but its better than most temperature wise..are they built like a tank....yes..you can tell the quality is high compared to most....will it change your life? no..maybe, if you're life is about hats....is it worth the money? yes...give one a try...all shall be revealed.

These really are thoughtfully designed and beautifully constructed caps. The color was awesome. I can see why so many people love them. Sadly, though, I had to return mine due to the inexplicable inclusion of an insignia/thumbhold on the underside of the brim. When wearing the cap, my eye was continuously drawn to the thumbhold (which is raised a few millimeters). Not only was this distracting, it literally gave me a headache and made the cap unwearable for me. I know that this has been a problem for others, as well, to the point that many choose to remove the thumbhold (leaving an ugly mark on the underside of the brim). The inclusion of this "feature" seems to me to be a "solution searching for a problem" (does anyone really worry about a thumb sweat stain beneath their brim from taking off their cap?) that actually ruins the cap. I'd suggest it be deleted. The second flaw is that the brim is too small. For adults with normal to large heads, it simply doesn't do the job shading the face as it is too narrow. For a smaller person or perhaps a female, this is probably actually a great fit, but for me and my average male head and face, it is far too narrow.

My whole life everyone has always told me I have had a big head. I like hats, but finding a good one is hard. I preferred the look of fitted, but even the larger sizes would leave a little red mark across my forehead. The trend has moved away from them, anyway, and back to snapbacks. I've always had to use snap backs with the last two buttons as the only security because they are made for average size heads. Even XL versions have a similar issue and it just looks goofy. The Melin A Game XL I have at all but 1 button on the snap back and the hat itself has a little bit of stretch that it allows room for a good fit without a tight squeeze. So, no red marks, no goofy looking huge gaps around the enclosure, it's just good. The price seems high, but I think it's worth it. I have them in the all white, all black, and gray with black brim. I sweat a lot and go through white fairly easily before it doesn't wash well anymore. I also get my hands fairly dirty and readjust the hats as I sweat. I am honestly shocked that this is as clean as the day I bought it and I haven't washed it once. I haven't even dunked it in water to test the cooling of it. All 3 of my hats, which I wear 1 of the 3 daily, are in the same condition. It feels lightweight despite being a XL, it doesn't move at all either with all the windows down and the sunroof open. I have to work hard to nitpick anything about these hats. If I had to try, the logo placement on the underside of the brim is a built in "finger guard" or whatever you want to call it. When you grab your hat it's supposed to be a good placement for where your thumb goes to prevent getting it dirty. I have never once put my thumb where they located it to adjust my hat, I grab much further forward. But still, even where I do grab, no marks.

Item is not as pictured. Interior is white, not black. Rubberized logo on face is not present. Hat was also put into a bag and arrived damaged.

I've had mixed experiences with Melin. My first black hat was perfect. They are the thickest most robust hats I've tried and have better build quality than the cheaper alternatives on Amazon that seem similar in photos but not in person. However, the recent order wasn't quite right. The sewing on one wasn't as tight and had a fat crease look on the front left. The sizing wasn't equal and one was close while the other was a full notch bigger. Both made my head look too big as the front part seems larger than my first Melin hat. Even as tight as it goes that wouldn't go away. One was closer than the other at least. Sad to send both hats back as the general thickness and quality otherwise is great. So, I may try them again in the future, but I wish I could try it on before I buy it. If I could try them first I'd definitely go for it so I could whittle down the oddly sized ones and find the right fit and sewing job. At $80 I'd hope for better QC on sizing and consistency between hats.

My husband’s favorite hats. They don’t stain and are completely waterproof and keep their shape. He has 2 now. Size was perfect, he has a really big head.

Perfect for a big head.

Great quality, very comfortable

Shipped in a bag, not a box. Came all bent out of shape. The hat itself is very good

This hat has everything. My only qualm would be that it does get sweaty and stained, and they basically lead you to believe it doesn't. Quick toothbrush and a wee bit of soap solves that in a big hurry though, and it's tough enough to withstand a scrub or 10...

Amazing Quality
