“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”.
Hat came quickly and in dark bag. Opened it and was happy with the hat. Nice navy in color. Was expecting something a bit more off the wall, so was pleasantly surprised.
I didn't understand the "mystery hat" offer and thought I was ordering a black hat with a white question mark on it. It was a gift to my grandson and fortunately he liked the mystery hat. He and all his friends knew about the mystery hat thing.
It all turned out okay.
Ordered the mystery hat with zero clue what I'd get, and honestly loved what showed up. Solid build quality, comfortable fit, and that fun surprise factor made it feel like more than just a hat. If you're on the fence, just go for it, the quality speaks for itself.
Grabbing a mystery hat is a great budget-friendly way to try out different styles, and they make awesome stocking stuffers for the holidays. I ended up pulling a duplicate of the Maze Lite this time, so I gave it to a friend who loved it since I already had one. The 7-flat fit is super comfortable, completely waterproof, and you really can't beat the value.
The mystery hats are a super solid, budget-friendly way to try out a bunch of different styles from Salt Mafia. I almost always toss a mystery hat or three into my order, and the quality never disappoints. The 7-flat fit is super comfortable, water rolls right off, and it doesn't leave any sweat stains.
The Mystery Hat in Navy is an absolute workhorse on the board. Outstanding water repulsion, zero sweat-staining, and a structured 7-panel fit that stays comfortable all day. If you need a technical marine cap that actually holds its shape and floats, this is it.
Have been buying my husband these hats for a while now! they are his absolute favorite hat and mine bc the washing is so easy! 10/10 always never had a complaint!
These hats I ordered and I thought they were gonna be a good quality, but they are deformed and I am trying to get a refund, but nobody is responding to my emails and the email that I sent with photos. Please advise I would like to use your company again, but I’m not having much confidence. Please contact me so we can get this handled. I would appreciate you contacting me.

I got a small-medium hat that was FlexFit, but its way to small I normally have the snap back versions in that size, but this one is probably unwearable it barely comes down to my ears its like way short. I can send photos when I get home.
I was very happy with the quality of the hats. I really wasn’t expecting them to be so nice. Can’t wait to order more. Thank you for the quality of your product
The hat is fine, but didn’t blow me away. There are other comparable brands out there doing the same thing. The only thing that disappointed me is that the sweatband is rougher than I expected. I expected a softer, sweat-wicking band.
Hats arrived quickly. Couldn't be happier with the selection that was sent in the mystery bags. Love the quality and fit of the hats. Will be ordering again
I have changed to you guys from Melin. They are still a great company but you guys show that it’s possible to have a great hat at a good price point. And the mystery hat with the order was a perfect color. Will continue to support you guy. Just Florida construction guy who needs to protect his bald head :-)
Awesome to have a "mystery" hat in my shipment! The color ended up being something I probably won't wear, but my wife loved the color, the style, fit, and feel so this is her new beach/pool hat!
