“I recently got this hat from Salt Mafia and it’s been absolute game-changer...”
serious sun protection
“Whether you’re hitting the pool, hiking the trail or just chilling with friends, this hat’s got your back.”
my go-to for everything summer
“Water and sweat just rolling off and it’s still dry and stylish”.
I originally returned because the hat I ordered just didn’t fit my head well. Return process was extremely easy and efficient. The new hat, I love the color and fit and will be wearing this as an everyday hat!
Gave this to my husband for his birthday to replace his old Costa hat. He seems to burn through his Costa hats quickly and they just don't hold up to daily wear and abuse in this hot Florida climate. This Salt Mafia hat is really nice! Love the fabric, color, and design. He likes hat that are fairly plain and not a lot of design. So far after two weeks of wear and 2 trips on the boat, there is not a stain to be seen. He really likes how the sweat seems to be wicked away so no sweat line appears. Longevity is yet to be determined but it seems like a well made hat that will last a long time.
He loves his hat! We tested in the ocean, the pools and the hot tub! We even let it float by itself. He dipped it all the time and it loooks brand new. He’s currently out there cutting the grass with it on!
I'm in the desert not on the boat any longer but great hats are great hats. This order makes four Salt Mafia hats. Love the vibe. The airflow is a great feature
I really like how the patch color blends with the gray of the hat. It really looks sharp! The XL size in Salt Mafia always fits me so well and looks just right!
No stitching on the underside of the bill, a stupid rubber label that isn't removable and I thought I ordered a black hat with a brown brim not a gray hat with a brown brim. Not very descriptive about the specifics. I asked for my money back. I won't be buying another hat here again.
