There really aren’t any other videos covering these hats so I feel like you really did them justice for those of us still on the fence or looking for a little more info. I am curious though, how would you reccomend going about finding the proper hat size? Unfortunately most of my stuff is “one size fits all” or just generally a bit big. Like I want to think the small size Coronado would be fine but at that price I wouldn’t wanna go blindly 😅

@@the_trombone_guy8049 If you have a soft tape measure with cm you can use that to measure or if you have any fitted hats you can leverage those sizes to get an idea Melin references those sizes on their fit guide.

This video is super helpful. I'm looking to buy at least 1 or 2 of Melin's hats, and I couldn't find any in stores (Nordstrom) to test out. I think the Odyssey will be my favorite as well. I wish they sold the Coronado without the rope. I'll probably end up getting an A-game as a secondary option though. I also have some flat bill hats that I like the look of, but the trenches looks way too deep. I'm not a fan of a bill that rest right about my eyebrows. You're right, it does make you look like a 90s rapper.. hahaha. Hopefully Melin will come out with a more shallow Trenches, and also a Coronado without the rope! Thanks again for this video, it has made me feel much more confident in purchasing online.

Couple of questions: You said the Trenches you reviewed was your friend's hat. Was it the 58cm or 60cm? I'm just trying to gauge how deep the 58cm Trenches vs. the 58cm Odyssey Brick. And lastly, would the it be possible to trim the rope off the coronado, or do you think it would be too risky to damage it?

@therobbyreport9235

2 жыл бұрын

It was 58cm. I asked them about depth change in the various circumferences and I don't think the depth changes much. In my opinion I don't think you can cleanly trim the rope, but maybe you can find a creative way to do it. Hope this helps!

Nordstrom rack just dropped these for 30 bucks! had to buy 2 styles right off the bat. yeeeee!

Thanks for the helpful tips, one point I hoped you’d answered was head size I’m trying to figure out which to get 56cm or 58cm I’m a 71/8 inch so kind of in the middle if converted. any tips on your head size and what size you went for in the odyssey I think it was. Thanks brother

Good question, I reached out to Melin and this is what they shared with me. "Switching between the small (56 cm), classic (58 cm), and XL (60 cm) changes the visor width and depth only very slightly, almost unnoticeable, as the front panels generally stay the same. What changes are the size of the back panels."

I wear a fitted style hat 7 1/8, and I know its odd, but i like to tuck the tops of my ears inside the hat (my ears flair out like dumbo). Would you recommend the A game or Odesey and which size? Thanks in advance

@therobbyreport9235

Жыл бұрын

I would say Odyssey is most likely going to fit you best, but I also think A game could work if you like that styling better. I'd probably go with size small.

My head is exactly 60cm. Wonder if I could get away with the 58cm classic if XL isn't available. I don't mind being on the last few snaps, it's the depth in more concerned about, does the depth change with circumference change?

Hey man, looking at the small Hydro Coronado. I have a 21in dome. You think I can tighten this hat without it looking ridiculous and puffing up the material awkwardly?

@therobbyreport9235

2 жыл бұрын

So, it's going to fit you pretty close to how it fits me in the video, my dome is about 21.5". You might have to tighten it 1 notch, and because it's such a shallow hat I don't think the material will look awkward. Depending on how you like to wear your hat and style, in my opinion the visor is very wide for smaller heads, and if you leave it flat or with a slight bend it's probably going to be wider than your head. You can see that a bit when I wear it. This is the reason I hesitate to wear it forward, but with the right bend in the visor I think it could work (again in my opinion).

Can I ask what size your head diameter is? I'm debating between 56cm and 58cm hat styles and am not quite sure. I got the trench hats but think they are too wide for my face. Now looking at the odyssey but not sure on which size. My head is sort of in between and I'd rather loosen the hat than tighten it.

Is the snap back adjustable if the sizing is off? or if you decide to grow out your hair can you adjust it like a normal snap back. The sizing is throwing me off. I never usually need to know sizing for snap backs they are usually considered one size fits all.

@therobbyreport9235

Yes, the snapback is adjustable like a normal snapback. Do you typically have to adjust the snapback or you can wear them with all the teeth locked in? I think their 58cm is probably closes to a normal snapback. If you generally have to adjust to make your hats bigger than think about maybe going 60cm or smaller maybe go 56cm.

@therobbyreport9235

2 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say one size fits all. It does matter to a degree, I have 56cm hats and people with larger heads that try them on have to wear them on the last one or two snaps, so that would be less than ideal if you are buying one for yourself. I think Melin's objective with the different sizes is to enable more people to wear the hats with all the teeth locked in or close to it, because that is probably most comfortable and looks better.

Constructed with durable materials the hats are water repellent, floatable, and breathable.

Yes, the 56cm would be the circumference so how tight it is around your head like the snapback adjustment. When I refer to the depth I'm referring to the top of your head down to like your ears. So for example even at 56cm the trenches would cover my ears where the others would not or at least not as much.
