melin A-Game Icon Hydro, Performance Snapback Hat, Water-Resistant Baseball Cap for Men & Women

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.

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.

I am a super picky hat guy, I have a small head and on top of that its shaved. Most hats are designed for people with hair so there's a lot of excess airspace above my head typically. This hat while it comes in Small still has the same height profile as a regular hat. So while it fits my head perfect in circumference it still a bit too tall for my head to fill the front of the hat. It could be just how they style their hats since the front of the hat has a pocket on the inside. If my head did fill this space I image I couldn't use the pocket.While I have these gripes so to say, I am actually super happy with it. The side profile of the hat is perfect and while the front is tall for my liking it doesn't come off bad. I did try the Melin Odyssey before the A Game and It was a little too point for my preference but its a good cross between a typical trucker and a baseball cap.As for the quality, its the best I have ever seen. I go through hats every 4-6 months. After a while of washing them from sweat from the South Texas heat or the salt of the beach they break down very quickly. I look forward to seeing how this handles its but I haven't seen anything with this type of fabric and thickness of material and typically the only hat that handles sweat stains are hiking hats that are designed to get wet. Still those tend get wrinkles and begin to lose their form.Overall I am loving the hat, the fit, the quality. Maybe a few months from now I'll come back and append my review with whatever arises but right now I am thinking I will be a life long Melin hat wearer from now on.TLDR;-Amazing quality-Good for small bald heads-A little taller than a typical baseball hat or dad hat-I am gonna buy more

Good quality and unique style, this is my second Melin hat.Important to know that none of the panels are "structured" which means the hat is like a floppy piece of fabric when it's not worn. This is not a problem, but some people might like to know that and this is probably typical of "performance running hats" which this is advertised as. Despite the non structued panels, the shape of the hat looks good when it's on the head. I have probably a medium size head and I have a Zero Guard buzzcut so if you have big hair maybe you won't like the fit as much. The light material and non-structured panels make this hat perfect for outdoor activities but it also looks good in more casual occasions or going out.Overall 4 stars. I do not give it 5 stars because the affordability is not good. Melin hats are very well made but I just wish they were a little bit lower cost.

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.

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.
