“The number one reason that I purchased this hat was the stated fact that it wouldn't stain from sweat. I even paid $30+ additional dollars over what I thought I would ever pay for a hat. Again, the reason that I splurged on this was because it was marketed as not showing sweat stains.
The reality, and the big disappointment, is not only does it show sweat stains, it shows them much faster than your standard cap. In addition to showing stains faster, it also stains over a larger portion of the hat versus a standard run-of-the-mill cap.
Now the good. Everything else stated about the hat is fairly accurate. My biggest personal issue is not that it shows stains; it's that they said it wouldn't, which essentially tricked me into overspending for an, at the end of the day, ordinary, not-so-special hat.
I have attached a photo. Full disclosure—it is probably not 100% dry from my cleaning of it, though this is not my first rodeo with cleaning it, so I know this is a true reflection of what will show as an obvious used defect area once it is 100% dry.”
“Great hat, however, shipping through Canada Post is a waste. I paid for shipping yet I had to drive 20 minutes (each way) to the local Post Office to pick it up.”
“One has to try it to see what difference it makes compared to all other caps. Best cap investment, Don’t have time to make hair, just put the cap and get going.”
“Customer service at Melin was great. They replaced a defective hat quickly and without much hassle. The process was straightforward, communication was clear, and the team was responsive throughout. Really appreciated how easy they made it to resolve the issue.”
