Signed up for the secret email not because the cap scratched an itch but your videos have always helped me gain new perspectives (albeit not buying the items in review/question) so will be purchasing to support the channel!
My number one interest is making sure that it is a large enough hat to fit my Charlie Brown sized head. We’re talking 7 7/8 or size 8. If that happens, you have this person as a customer! I wear hats all the time as long as they fit and that is the rub.
My only suggestion is to have non Velcro strap options. Velcro is a NIGHTMARE for anyone with curly and/or long hair. Just pain, frustration, and ripping
I wasn't going to mention the brim as I understood why you went with a short one but I agree aesthetically a longer one would look better. I will still get this one in hopes you invest in a longer brim version.
I couldn’t believe it when this video dropped as I’ve been looking for YOUR cap for ages! Of course you designed it! 😂👊🏻 Signed up. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼😎
As someone who is nearly 2 meters tall and has lived in east and southeast Asia for 35 years, finding hats which fit has been as big a challenge as finding large sized shoes. Personally, I stay away from moto taxis. Taking a tuktuk is not much more expensive and makes it easier to carry a bag. All the shots in the video were using Grab. We have Grab in Cambodia as well as Passapp and several others. Unlike Thailand and Indonesia we don't have many moto taxis. And for this I am grateful. Wearing someone else's helmet is... gross. And most helmets are designed for much smaller heads than mine. I am certain that I would be unable to wear any of the helmets shown in the video.
I have 1 of my many hats that i always wear for 5 years. An old adidas C40 Climachill Carbon. They're not selling the same version anymore. Things I like about it: 1. Fit. Fits my big head without looking goofy. 2. Material. Super soft and breathable but very durable fabric (without typical running cap "holes"). It's also pocketable (brim is only the stiff part) 3. Versatility. Goes on casual to smart casual outfit. Doesnt look like an active wear (subtle logo color only slightly darker than fabric) and doesn't have that "shine" from nylons and polyester. 4. Handy. Has that thin plastic buckle closure you can easily release so you can hang it EASILY on your bag strap, loops, or rings. (my favorite feature) 5. Look. It's been with me for 5yrs as a daily beater but the color aged so good. I bought it Carbon colored now it's Dark Ash maybe 1 tone lighter. (doesnt collect and no visible lints!) I ride mototaxi almost everyday and this is promising. I'll probably buy your hat but would still wear mine indefinitely! Maybe on the future iterations, I'll see the qualities of my old one and let it retire. Always loved your channel!
This hat reminds me of a gore-Tex TNF hat I had back in the 90’s I really miss that hat and yours come closest to it maybe a gore-Tex version in the near future? I really like the Velcro patch great idea for personalization 👍👍 fantastic job overall. Everything isn’t for everyone but this hat is def for me looking forward to the launch.
Signing up! I ‘scratched my own itch’ years ago, and am always up for supporting other great ideas, especially when people whose opinions I trust are launching them!
How much has the wire brim been tested? Also, looks like you’d need to adjust the curve of the wired brim version each time you take it out of your bag since it looks soft enough to smoosh into a bag in the first place.
Oh dang! I missed it. Since i sweat like a maniac this would have been perfect for me. Maybe there will be another chance somewhen down the road for me.
The one thing that everybody gets wrong is that somehow the Velcro strip or the Velcro system should be replaceable because eventually Velcro dies, and if you could somehow just replace the whole strip or strap system not just on a hat, but on anything that uses Velcro would be amazing. Obviously it’s not necessarily going to be something you should have to do on everything, but on some things where the Velcro strip gets ruined so fast it would be great. This hat is pretty cool except for some reason I do not like the shape of it and would not wear that thing. If it looked more like a baseball cap and had all the other qualities, I would definitely buy one, but the brim is just too short and it’s not gonna be the style a lot of people want to wear. If I t looks more like a regular baseball hat I will buy it for sure. Not everybody is going to wear their hat under a motorcycle helmet so a larger brim would definitely increase sales if you at least provided another version.
Nothing about this product applies to me but signing up to purchase just to support you. I'm always nicely surprised by how you find time to come up with things (I e redesigning Eva logo in flight ). You will make difference.
Any chance you’ll produce any that fit the big-head individual? Have to buy specialty ones or have eBay alerts set up for dead stock of models that will fit my Size 8+ head.
Signed up for the early bird! I'm not a traveler, but I'm a sweater and love how I can keep the hat clean so easily without risk of damaging it, as well as the breathability you mention to reduce sweating! Looking forward to October when I receive it!
Until I saw this cap I never wanted patches. I’m really bummed your patches are sold out. I just didn’t want them on my bags but wow a hat is a Great idea.
it seems like a great hat, the main reason i usually wear a hat is to avoid the sun. how would one avoid getting sun burn on the ears and on the back of the neck. I don't know how to solve that problem with the front bream hat when i go for long hikes and my ears and neck are burn to a crisp.
Put removable pockets (with velcro soft side on hat, scratchy side on pocket) inside. You will be amazed how many of us do hat mods to have those. Pockets need to be credit card size.
Any chance the 2 caps version will be available in both colors? Also would they provide UV blocking with such thin materials especially the meshed black version?
Honestly from the videos I’ve seen about product development I am pretty impressed that you got it right for your needs in only 7k I would have thought it would be more like 17k.
What are you looking for is the Adidas Adventure Trail hat. My personal favorite with all those charateristics, more breathable and much cheaper too. 😂
I have my own requirement... I have a BIG dome... and hats that "fit" often don't have the appropriately sized brim, unless it's a wide brim hat, and they often have such a hard, flat brim edge that it pushes into my forehead and causes pain. How does your hat work for larger heads, and how does it look?
You know that plastic bit at the back of the hat, that adjusts hat sizes… well undo it completely and then reattach it to the top of your backpack/carry-on. I typically travel with 3 or 4 different hats and carry them that way… never gets damaged.
Hey mourice! Love your channel, since you only use the best of the best! Could you give your honest review and opinions about the XDDESIGN BOBBY SLING? I would love to hear your thought !
And now one for the ladies...! _My_ itch. Full brim, adjustable depth of crown (beret/cloche), hide-able chin-line for wind. OK, who's you prototyper? 😂
should have found a better balance of form and function. right now this is all function with 0 form/fashionability unless youre going for the mars blackmon look. fan of your content, but a pass for me. good luck with this.
The crown is too short and so is the brim. The crown should be in proportion to the length of your face and the brim to the width of your head and shoulders. As a helmet liner it’s great. Otherwise you have to be small to pull off a hat that looks like it’s the youth uniform of a fascist regime or Cub Scouts.
Ah yes, the de facto hat:face that all hats must comply unless they want to be considered childish. Nevermind the casquette, flat, gatsby, or other examples of short brimmed short crowned hats.
@@peteradrian9466 yes I watched it and he ended up with a helmet liner because form follows function. I gave my opinion so he doesn’t waste another seven thousand or more. If he doesn’t like my opinion he can still do whatever he wants. It’s not war it’s business.
i love your videos but you're out of touch with people if you think the hat is worth $7k. would you purchase this hat if it wasnt something you created? would you be willing to pay $7k for it? i get the whole r&d and time but anyone who makes apparel will spread that over everything. to you, this hat is $7k, to us its worth $80 tops.
