Hydro A-Game

If you’re tired of "disposable" baseball caps that get ruined by sweat stains, lose their shape after a rainstorm, or sink to the bottom of the lake, the melin A-Game Hydro is a revelation. While the price point is higher than your average snapback, the technology and durability packed into this hat make it a legitimate piece of performance gear. Why It’s Worth the Investment The A-Game Hydro is designed for people who live active lives—whether that’s golfing, boating, hiking, or just surviving a humid summer. Hydrophobic Technology: Water and sweat literally bead off the surface. Unlike cotton hats that soak up moisture and become heavy and yellowed, this stays dry and clean. It Floats: This is a lifesaver for boaters or paddleboarders. Thanks to the buoyant visor core, if it blows off your head, it stays on the surface for easy retrieval. Anti-Microbial & Breathable: The triple-quilted sweatband prevents bacteria buildup (no "old hat" smell), and the perforated side panels keep your head remarkably cool. The "Secret" Pocket: There’s a small, hidden besom pocket inside the lining—perfect for stashing an emergency $20 bill or a key. Key Takeaway I used to go through three or four cheap hats a year because of sweat, salt, and fading. I’ve had my melin for over a year, and it still looks like it just came out of the box. It’s the ultimate 'buy it for life' accessory for anyone who spends time outdoors.

Perfect for a big head.

Great quality, very comfortable

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

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