melin, the Southern California–based makers of the world’s most premium headwear, proudly introduces the Eagle HYDRO: an all-new shape built with the same obsession for detail that defines the brand.
Designed to perfectly pair style and function, the Eagle HYDRO is made to complement your wardrobe while keeping pace with real life. Lightweight, durable, and effortless in its fit, the Eagle represents melin’s performance-first design philosophy with an elevated, fashion-driven edge.
The construction of the Eagle features melin’s all-new Cloud Visor Core, the lightest and most comfortable visor to date. By welding a thin layer of their proprietary resin-based visor core with ultra-light foam, melin delivers a visor that holds its shape while adding flexibility and significantly reducing weight.
The Eagle features an unstructured construction, creating a comfortable, lived-in fit that dries faster and travels easier. A Gel-Welded ThumbSeal reinforces the commitment to details, while the full rear panels provide complete sun protection and remain fully crushable for life on the go.
Breathability is elevated through powder coated HYDRO droplet ventilation on the rear panels, and tonal branding keeps the look clean and minimal… allowing the craftsmanship and construction to speak for itself.
Always water-repellent, antimicrobial, and engineered to be the most durable hat you can buy, the Eagle HYDRO doesn’t compromise. It’s built for movement, travel, and wherever else the day takes you.
The Eagle HYDRO launches January 16, 2026, and will be available at melin.com, their eight Customer Experience Labs, and select retail partners.
New shape. Same obsession with detail.
