Troubleshooting

Hat feels damp inside after use.

This can occur if the hat is not allowed to air dry completely between uses. Ensure the hat is fully dry before storing. If experiencing persistent dampness, check that the outer fabric is clean, as dirt can affect breathability.

Water seems to be penetrating the hat.

Ensure the hat is properly cleaned according to care instructions, as dirt or residue can compromise the waterproof membrane. Check for any visible damage to the fabric or seams. For minor issues, re-waterproofing treatments designed for outdoor gear might be considered, following product guidelines.

Fit is too tight or too loose.

The acrylic outer fabric offers some stretch. Try wearing the hat for a short period to allow it to conform to your head shape. If it remains uncomfortably tight, it may not be the best fit for your head size. If too loose, consider hand-washing and air-drying to potentially achieve a slightly snugger fit.
