Are you a fan of hats with Velcro?

[SERparacord]

I prefer the hats with velcro, especially when there's no button on top. Without the button my ear protection fits snug and doesn't press down on a center spot at the top of my head while at the range.

It is silly that someone would call a patch a billboard and then prefer embroidery. They're the same thing except one's removable.

Exactly.

If I like a hat with something on it well enough to buy/wear it, I want the logo/design/whatever on there permanently, not on there with Velcro.

The only hat with writing that I own is my RWVA orange hat. No velcro on it.

The advantage of a hat with velcro on the front is that you can use it as a place to display any patches you might already have without buying a bunch of separate hats. It's for this reason why INGO started selling them while coming out with their own patches. So for this reason I like them and have worn them.

For me the advantage of the little velcro piece on top is that it takes the place of the hard little button that earpro likes to smash into my head. Otherwise I could care less.

Of course, never forget rule #1 - always look cool.

As long as it keeps the sun outta my eyes and doesn't interfere with my actions and is comfortable, I'm fine with velcro. Many of the velcro patch hats are synthetic which helps in drying and cooling if getting soaked in sweat in the summertime and they are usually pretty soft to the touch as well and easy to launder.

When down range, IR reflective patches are sometimes used to allow the good guys to be identified.

This.

I don't have a preference for those vs. the buttons at the crown, but I do like hats with the velcro strip in the back (over the adjustment tab) rather than the big "billboard" at the front.

I went ahead and ordered a hat.

I'm not big on adjustable "floppy" hats that INGO sells, so I went out and found an Under Armour flex-fit hat that I would actually wear and slapped an INGO logo on there. Instant INGO hat! Only, I was actually able to shop around an find a hat that fit me as I'm also very picky about hats.

Fitted or Flex Fit is what i like. I hate the ones with the strap and buckle clasp on the back.

I'm not a big fan of the Velcro hats but don't have anything against them. It's just not my style really.

Most of my hats are activity driven or seasonal.

I like to wear this when I'm cooking

This is more for every day or even out at the range to block the sun
