Good hat, not so good materials
It appears my first review with photo from a few months back got taken down.. so here we go.. The hat is good, materials, not so much. I bought this hat, and I had soon thereafter put maybe 20-40 miles of biking and running(3-4 workout sessions) on the it when I noticed a 'sweat stain' on the underside of the brim that would not go away. It was a normal looking sweat stain but had a blueish tint..nbd. I attempted to hand wash it and saw the stain wasn't coming out, and it never did. Odd, I've never had this happen with any of my other hats. I bought the hat back in Aug/Sept and to this day the stain remains, and grows with the sweat. Something with the dye in perhaps the sweat band/lining caused it to bleed into the brim. The hat works ok, but now to others it just looks like I'm always sweating when I'm wearing this hat. Also, after just a few hand washes, the perforated side and back panels began to get this weird 'cheese grater' texture. Never had a perforated panel hat so I'm not sure if that's normal, just something to point out. I really wanted to love this hat :(
