Why it fits

The patent-pending silicone closure.

Traditional plastic snapbacks use rigid, fixed settings. We replaced them with a flexible silicone closure that adapts to your head shape and micro-adjusts between sizes.

  • Eliminates pressure points
  • Hair-friendly, reduced snagging
  • Withstands years of wear
  • More room for bigger heads

The APEX Key levels you up

Not only is this a very comfortable hat, it levels up your life. My surfing is better, my girlfriend finds me irresistible (now), I got a promotion at work, I’m more charming, I lift more at the gym - all because the hat. Highly recommended. Get the hat, or be left behind.

XL+ wasn't deep enough

Great design and great material. I've got a large head and the XL went all the way around fine, but was not deep enough to rest comfortably. Definitely will keep an eye on Suay though

Decently made, but too shallow.

Figured I would give it a try as I’ve been wearing my all black melin for over 2 years almost daily. This design looks like a Melin but cheaper. Should have just trusted my gut. Threw on this new Suay and it sits like a crown on my head. It sits about 1” higher on my forehead than my Melin. Way too shallow compared to Melin. I wanted to like it, but looks like I’ll be sticking with Melin.

Comfiest hat I’ve ever owned!

My head measures 61cm and these fit great! I have about 20 King & Fifth hats and a Melin, and now they’re all going in the trash. The silicone strap relieves pressure on my forehead and these are so incredibly comfy. I now have 5 Suay hats, and am just waiting for more options to come out or at least get restocked in XL.

Nice hat

Nice hat. Sits higher on head than I would have preferred for an XL+ size.

As a side note, I'd love to see more of the other hat models made in the XL+ size!

Great hat, slight flaw

Love the style, quality and fit of my hat. Value is solid as well. Unfortunately the front brim seems to have a bit of thin material covering it causing the brim underneath to peak through slightly. Likely a one-off QA issue. Hesitant to buy another thought.

Hi Steven! Please send a photo to shop@suay.com and we'll get you taken care of. All hats are guaranteed against defects so we'll get it replaced asap.
