Description of Backcountry.com Creek Softshell Hat:
Don the Backcountry.com Creek Softshell Hat and exchange your nasty sweat-stain rings for stretchy, breathable awesomeness that is softshell material. This 4-way stretch softshell hat fits, feels, and wears better than your old cotton canvas lids and the Goat logo shows the love without trying too hard.
Ok, first lets start with; Yes I know I work for Backcountry, I support the product team and everything they do they primarily do a great job with most product they push out, this hat however has a very awkward feel to it.
1. The Hat is too deep, it will go to your eyebrows so if you have a unabraw then this hat will dig with your style.
2. The Softshell is a great material for a Jacket not so much a hat, it tends to bunch up in the back (this is primarly because there is so much fabric not being filled up by the hat) My Welder Jacket is what I rock when it Rains not a hat.
3. The Goat stitching is a bit off (looks like a diagram to show you the diffrent meat cuts or muscles of our amazing mountain goat logo.
4. The Brim is HUGE, it creates this strange flair on the sides of the hat so the hat does't feel snug on the front of your head.
Well with all that said, if you have a tall head and like to rock the low riding hat then this is that hat for you. Again I love Backcountry product and I think it's some of the best out there, I was just not to impressed with this hat. Hopefully they will take these reviews and make the perfect hat for next season. Thanks!
I have a monster dome, i read the reviews about how this hat is bigger than normal... They were right, it does run big, and it fits great!!! I wear a 7 7/8's fitted hat. I bought the L/XL and it couldn't fit any better. Thanks backcountry.com!
Hate to do this, but the fit on this lid is just wack. I bought a S/M, and the top of it sits about an inch higher than a S/M flexfit hat, making it look ridiculous. I dunno if they used some dude with a huge dome for a model what, but I'll be sending this one back.
