Learn how to style and care for your BOA Hat 90's to keep it looking fresh and performing well on every run.
Quick Answer
To keep your BOA Hat 90's fresh and functional, wash it gently by hand or on a delicate cycle, air dry it away from heat, and store it in a cool, dry place. For styling, pair it with any running outfit for a retro look that keeps the sun off your face.
Why Care Matters for Your Hat 90's
The Hat 90's is designed for running, with a bill that keeps the sun out of your face while offering enhanced breathability and comfort. Proper care ensures that these features last, especially the breathable fabric and the shape of the bill. A dirty or misshapen hat not only looks bad but can also irritate your skin or trap sweat, reducing performance.
Common Styling Pitfalls to Avoid
Some runners try to force a modern, structured look on this hat, but the 90's style is meant to be worn with a slightly relaxed curve on the bill. Over-bending or using hat shapers can damage the bill's breathable mesh. Also, avoid pairing it with overly formal gear—this hat shines with tech fabrics and sporty outfits.
Diagnosis & Care Steps
- Symptom: Hat smells or has sweat stains: Likely cause: Salt and oil buildup from repeated runs without washing. Corrective action: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, or machine wash on a delicate cycle in a laundry bag. Air dry flat away from direct heat. Wash after every 3-4 sweaty runs to prevent odor.
- Symptom: Bill is losing shape or feels floppy: Likely cause: Washing in hot water or drying in a machine. Corrective action: Reshape the bill while damp by hand, then let it air dry on a flat surface. Do not use a hat shaper or clip that stresses the seam. Always air dry; never put the hat in a dryer.
- Symptom: Fabric feels less breathable or looks matted: Likely cause: Fabric softener or dryer sheets coating the fibers. Corrective action: Rewash with a sport-specific detergent (no softener) and rinse thoroughly. If the fabric is still matted, the hat may be nearing end of life. Stop using fabric softener on any moisture-wicking gear.
- Stop or choose another option if:: The hat has visible tears, frayed seams, or the bill is permanently creased. At that point, no amount of care will restore performance or fit. Consider replacing it with a new Hat 90's.
