melinTrenches Icon Hydro, Performance Snapback Hat, Water-Resistant Flat Bill Caps for Men & Women, Golf, Running or Workout

This is my go to cap for working out, running, hiking ect. Fits great and looks awesome! Quality of materials is on point.

HOLY CRAP! this hat is dope as hell! I knew when I started to open it, it was going to be special. The packaging was awesome and the flat brim hat inside is amazing in every way. Finally a grown up quality flat brim hat. I WILL get more of these. Thanks!

I sweat through regular material fitted hats every 2 months at work. THIS hat is waterproof so every 2 weeks I soak this hat in soapy water and scrub gently and it looks brand new again. This will be my go to work and play hat. This will save me from ruining my good hats.

Great quality and fit

literally open the box and put the hat on my head! Perfect fit and no creases. The sweat resistant is true. Ran on treadmill for 25 min. Took it off and didn’t feel any sweat on the inner rim of the hat compare to all the other hats I own. most expensive hat I’ve ever owned,but totally worth it! I’ll be back to buy more that’s for sure!

Is this a nice hat? Yes. Does it hold up better than my other hats? Yes. Is it water proof? Kinda...on the outside. But if you are a super sweater like me and planning on getting this for the gym, it's just OK. I thought I finally found the magic hat after all the good reviews but not quite. It's a nice hat that seems to be holding up better than my others but if Melin is reading this, you gotta triple up on the anti-sweat measures for me.

Great hat, even better if it really will hold up as advertised. Great coloration, shape, and material selection

Like many of you, I was intrigued by this company and their fresh take on hats. (I own more ball caps than I would like to admit!). I saw all of the "Amazon ships in envelops, ruined the hat" and then the "Amazon now ships in boxes, problem solved" posts as well. I read the reviews, took a chance and ordered two colors of the Icon Hydro.Here is my experience: First of all, my two hats arrived in....wait for it....an envelope. Upon inspection, one hat was dented and one was not. The dead give away was that the dented hat was in a replacement bag and not a branded Melin bag. Looks like the dented one was likely returned and then sent to me as the bag it came in said "ready to ship". Not a great start. However, the color I preferred was the none damaged one, so I was pleased about that...Now on the hat itself: It does look nice and high quality, but I was really expecting to be blown away by the quality, and frankly I struggle to find how it is any better than the twenty or so New Era etc. hats I own. I got to be honest here, the brim? Same as any hat I own.. the hat fabric? Maybe a touch nicer but nothing earth shattering. Features? A silly pocket in inside for who knows what. In all my days I have never thought "you know what my ball cap is missing, a pocket!" Zero value for me. Next, the snap on the back, nothing special here either. It functions like any other. Not worth the hype.Next the two biggest misses for me: First the bottom of this ALL BLACK hat brim is NOT BLACK. It is a light grey / leaning to white color. WHY? The whole point to wearing a hat is to keep the sun out of my eyes, especially if you are on the water (remember this is the "HYDRO"). Now glare from the water or snow or whatever reflects right into your eyes. Wow.Second huge miss: The absolutely silly "thumb patch" so you "don't get your hat brim dirty". This bit of silliness was the deal breaker for me. (See picture). First of all, I have worn ball caps for 40 years, and NEVER once have I had the problem of "oh my gosh, the underside of my hat is now ruined!". I have a tip: If your thumb is oily or fifthly, wipe it off before you touch you hat, or your clothes, just like your Mom taught you. I have never once had a problem with this EVER. I have ruined plenty of hats with sweat stains and dirt and sawdust, but never with my "dirty thumb". I would normally laugh it off and ignore it, but here is the kicker: the "rubber patch" is WHITE. I repeat, WHITE. UNDER YOUR BRIM. It is about the most distracting place possible. If was black, on a black brim, no harm no foul, but WTH? Just plain bad design, almost laughable. See photo. I tried to wear it around the house and convince myself I could get used to it...NOPE. No deal.Next the "waterproof" brim and how "it floats". Ok I spend a lot of time on rivers and on boats of all shapes and sizes. How many time have I needed a hat that floats? Maybe once, maybe? Another tip: Turn ball cap around when your on a vessel at any speed. This keeps your hat on your head and out of the drink. If you are a ripping surfer that kicks a ballcap when you surf, good on ya, you got skills, so maybe this will be good for you, for me, not so much.Summary: Pocket: Silly. Brim patch: bad. Waterproof: little value. 5 logos around the hat: unnecessary. I applaud a company who tries new things and pushes the envelope, and I really wanted to love this hat, but these "features" are no value and the price is DOUBLE of any other high quality cap.My advice: Pass on this, don't believe the hype. If you are itching to spend $60, go buy two new $30 hats and keep one in the bag. When you loose your first it in the ocean, or dirty up the brim with your greasy thumb, pull out your fresh new hat and call it good.

So I was super happy with the design and materials of the hat and it fit perfectly….I had high hopes. I don’t use it for cardio workouts just lifting weights. The first few times I wore it I was amazed and so happy no smell or sweat showing through. After the forth workout it turned out to be like any other SnapBack but double the price. That kinda sucks.
