5 Panel Hat

About this find

The 5 panel hat from Chrome Industries is a lightweight cap that comes in two versions: ultra reflective or black. Both have an adjustable fit with a buckle closure, so you can set the size yourself and change it later if you need to. Inside, you will find a 100% brushed interior with a comfort band, which gives the hat a soft lining where it meets your head.

The two colors are built a little differently, and the logos are flipped. The reflective version is a cotton and polyester blend with a black logo. The black version is made from recycled nylon and spandex with a reflective logo. That means you can choose between a hat that is reflective all over with a quiet black mark, or a dark hat with one reflective detail.

If you plan to wear the hat around traffic or on early and late outings, the reflective version is the one to look at, since the whole hat is reflective rather than just the logo. Hold the hat up to a phone flashlight in a dim room to see how brightly the reflective parts show before you head out. The black version suits anyone who likes a plain dark cap with a small reflective touch.

A five panel shape keeps the crown simple, with a clean look that goes with most casual clothes you already own. With two colors, an adjustable buckle and a lightweight feel, it is a practical hat to keep by the door.
