“I own a few Melin hats but after getting the Beam, I've never looked back. After putting it through its paces, I was hesitant at first but its easily worth the premium price. Hands down best hat I've ever owned. I have a regular hydro Coronado before that and love it but the fact that this one is even lighter makes it even more comfy and breathable. When it gets really dirty (beyond spot cleaning) I just wear it while I'm taking a shower and clean it w/ some soap and it comes out looking and smelling as good as new. Not sure if you should clean it like that, but its worked great for me.”
