Who this hat is for
melin built the HYDRO line for outdoor enthusiasts who want a hat they can wear to the beach, the mountains, and everywhere in between, which fits the South Florida crowd that moves from boat deck to sandbar to dock in the same afternoon. The hydrophobic technology on the crown panels is built to prevent water absorption, so the hat is not fighting to dry out between splashes.
Wearing it around water
Because the visor core is buoyant and the design is floatable, this hat is meant for days when it might actually end up in the water, whether that is a wave, a wake, or just getting knocked off on the boat. The moisture-wicking lining and antimicrobial sweatband are there for the same reason, to keep the inside of the hat from staying damp and holding onto odor after repeated wear in humid conditions.
Caring for a hydrophobic hat
Rinse the hat with fresh water after saltwater or pool sessions to clear salt and chlorine off the water-resistant exterior, and let it air dry rather than leaving it balled up wet, since trapped moisture works against the antimicrobial and moisture-wicking features built in. The hidden besom pocket is a convenient spot for small items, but keep it in mind before submerging the hat fully.
