Great hats. Wear them at work. Gets dirty. Wash them. Brand new looking. Wear on the boat days. Perfect
The hat is awesome! The problem is I ordered the wrong size not realizing there’s no returns on sale items. On top of that, they’re all sold out in size regular.
First tried this brand out with a 7flat design and loved the look of it and how well it feels and performs when it comes to water or sweat. So I decided to try one of curved designs and it’s even better in my opinion. Has an even better look and feel to it. I wouldn’t have guessed that it could be more comfortable than the first hat I got, but it indeed was and holds up just as well. I already assumed that this would be my forever brand in hats from here forward, but that second hat confirmed it. Love this brand!!
Salt Mafia hats are my new favorite hats! The feel and breathability of them are superior to other hats. Love that water just wicks off of them and they are super easy to clean. Best of all - no sweat stains so far!
These hats are a perfect fit! The stitching and the material is definitely amazing. And I can't wait to use the soap that I got for these hats as well. I will for sure be a consistent repeat buyer
