Great hat

Nice materials. Good fit. Cool design. A great trucker hat. I have a very large head (8 7/8 hat size) and it fits just fine with room to spare.

Untruthful Description

The description of this hat states it's made in Vietnam. The tags on the hat show it's made in China. I've been making an effort not to purchase things made in China due to their well known history of forced labor, child labor, and total disregard for the environment. If I would have known this was made in China I never would have purchased it.

I would not buy this product again - new changes ruined it!

I've had many different colour schemes of the advocate trucker as it was my favourite hat style for a long time. Primarily because of how comfortable it was with the 110 stretch headband material. OR recently made some changes to the series that have destroyed the beloved hat. First, they made the hat smaller in circumference by almost a full inch, which means where I had 4 snaps done up before, now I have one. Additionally, they removed the 110 stretch headband material so the hat is significantly less comfortable, but that's not even the worst part. They've made the hats more shallow then they used to be, they're so short now in fact they don't fit on my head. It's a shame that OR has tried to cut costs on the advocate by using less material and have ruined what was the best hat on the market.

Another one bites the dust

Purchased 5 or so hats from OR from 2015 through 2018ish. All 110 flex fit, all still being worn today, granted my advocate hats are tattered and torn which is to be expected with something worn literally daily for years upon years. The "new" style hat I purchased in 2022 (not a 110 flex fit) is already dead. Ordered another, and it almost seems cheaper yet. Bummer...

Favorite hat

I bought the black one this past spring - it is now faded brown due to sweat and sun exposure. My absolute favorite hat. I have a big head and this hat is on the last 2 snaps, but fits fine. Most truckers don't fit well. Well done, OR.

Quality has declined...

Have used these hats for the past 3 years as a guide, loved every single one of them. Ordered a new one in all black and was surprised to say the least when I got it. No more 110 flex and it seems like the material on the bill and front panel are less sturdy as well based on touch. Time will tell if this hat holds up, but for now it fits fine, just disappointed that OR decided to skimp out on quality. I'll be taking my money somewhere else next time.

Great everyday hat

Bought the gray one first, then this one. Good one two combo. Didn't experience previous generations, but I thought these were great hats. I have a big head and wear it with only 2/3 buttons. Friends have a laugh at that, but doesn't bother me.

Quality declining

I wanted to buy this hat but was turned off by the other reviewers commenting that the quality has declined and the hat is no longer the 110 flex. Fix it OR!

Bring back 110 FLEX!!!!

I have 2 of the advocate / dirtbag trucker hats.. They used to use a 110 flex fit, now they just feel cheap. If they bring back the 110 flex, I'd be happy to continue to buy these..
