How can we make the most out of every adventure? This is what we ask ourselves on the daily—certainly long before our recent roll down to the southern tip of Baja. But there, together, our products were put to the test by professional athletes, fun seekers, and passionate travelers in hopes to bring you the best made hats for any conceivable adventure. And we think we did just that. We are proud of the quality of our hats—hats that stood up to the unforgiving elements of desert climates and ocean conditions, sweat and salt, too. We’re equally proud of their resilience to survive packing and still retain their shape through the journey of international travel. And we are so excited to offer hats that put in full days on the ocean and golf course only to remain stylish, dry and fresh—enough for a night out at our favorite restaurant. One hat is really, all we need. True story.
All of our products are made with adventure in mind. It’s our calling. So we ask you—if you could make your adventure better, wouldn’t you do it? Of course you would. Designed in California to adventure the world over, this is melin, Summer 22.

A-GAME HYDR There’s so much more to the A-Game HYDRO than its timeless silhouette. Let’s talk performance. The hydrophobic tech-engineered exterior is specifically crafted to bead away water and prevent absorption. This translates to a cooler head, a clean and dry hat. It’s the melin superpower of wearing the same hat to both an active day on the water and out for the night. That’s bringing your A-Game. Everywhere you want to go in endless comfort and effortless style. SIZES:

Mark Healey joined the melin crew for an adventure to the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula equipped with his five adventure must-haves: melin hat, sunscreen, shades, hydration, and a good knife. When you do this stuff for a living, you’re going to be more prepared with less. “Functionality, comfort, durability and size/weight are the factors I take into consideration with gear,” says Healey who spends most of his time in or on the water. “I want to spend as much time as possible being present in those moments, so my gear should function like a well-practiced motor skill. It just happens—it does its job without having to think about it in the moment.” This is adventuring better.

“Getting out and doing what I love is of almost immeasurable value to me, so I
use gear that will add to that experience instead of taking away from it.”
Another great adventure tool is an open mindset. We’d like to think we can truly never be ready for adventure, as we can never fully prepare for the unexpected details that make our adventures so appealing in the first place. The unforeseen is, well, unplannable. “My adventure mindset is to be prepared for my main adventure’s goal to actually happen and leave ample room for things to play out and embrace the unexpected,” says Healey and we couldn’t agree more. Freak rainstorms and a rare and wild encounter with a pod of orcas—not knowing what’s to come is part of the fun. With that idea in mind, we look to the horizon and dream of our next voyage. Along the way, we bring fewer and better products that allow us to be out longer and thrive in our purpose. Prepare for what you can expect, and roll with the rest. That’s how we adventure better.
