High dollar hat

I remember seeing the advertisements on social media for melin hats. Price was crazy, no way! Until I tried one on at my local surf shop. That was a couple of years ago now. That same hat looks like I just bought it. It's white. I give it a good scrubbing every couple of months. It's a hydro, it can handle the wet. I h…

Hat is great! Customer Service is even better...

Had forgotten my melin at home as we headed out to vacation. Went to the melin store in Poipu, Kauai, and had the opportunity to choose from a variety of hats. I have two of these same hats at home, so I got another color I loved. Given the hat's quality, the customer service at the Poipu storefront was just as good, i…

melin Odysea Stacked Hydro — GearJunkie review

But this spring, GearJunkie Affiliate Managing Editor Billy Brown hit me up to test some hats — I’m assuming because he noticed I was always wearing one on our weekly video conferences. It was a brand called melin. He told me to hop on the site and pick a few out.

melin Odysea Stacked Hydro — GearJunkie review

Excuse the French, but GTFOH was my initial thought when I saw the hats’ prices. They wanted dang near $100 for a baseball hat. That was absurd. But I had a job to do, and told Billy what I wanted. I planned on ripping melin a new one.

What is better for a day at the beach: the melin A-Game Icon Hydro or a standard baseball cap?

For a day at the beach, the melin A-Game Icon Hydro is a much better choice than a standard baseball cap. Its hydrophobic technology means it won't get waterlogged and heavy from sea spray or sweat, and it's designed to float if it falls in the water. A standard cap would likely just get soaked and stay that way.

Is the melin A-Game Icon Hydro good for hiking in humid weather?

Yes, the melin A-Game Icon Hydro should be quite good for hiking in humid weather. While its primary feature is water repellency, the breathable construction helps manage sweat and heat. The hydrophobic crown panels will also prevent it from becoming saturated if you encounter any unexpected rain or heavy dew.

Anyone else find melin hats to be a bit pricey but worth it?

Totally. melin hats definitely sit at a premium price point, but most people I know who own one agree they're worth it. The quality of the materials, the construction, and the specific performance features like the hydrophobic tech on the A-Game Icon Hydro just aren't found in cheaper hats. They tend to last much longer too.

What's the difference between the melin HYDRO collection and just a regular waterproof hat?

The melin HYDRO collection, like the A-Game Icon Hydro, goes beyond just being 'waterproof.' They use specific hydrophobic treatments that actively repel water, and many are designed to float, which is a huge advantage for water activities. Plus, melin focuses on breathability and durability, so you get a hat that performs well without feeling stuffy or falling apart.
