Odysea Brick Hydro Split Fit Hat: Style and Durability

Quick answer

To keep your Odysea Brick Hydro Split Fit hat looking sharp and performing well, hand wash it gently with mild soap, air dry it away from heat, and store it properly to protect its hydrophobic finish and durable materials.

Step-by-step care routine for your Odysea Brick Hydro

1. Prepare a gentle cleaning solution: Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid hot water, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the hydrophobic coating and the durable materials. Check the water temperature with your wrist—it should feel neutral, not hot.
2. Hand wash the hat, focusing on soiled areas: Submerge the hat and gently agitate it with your hands. Use a soft cloth or sponge to spot-clean any visible dirt, especially on the crown and brim. Do not scrub aggressively or use a brush, which can abrade the fabric and compromise the water-repellent finish. If you see water beading on the surface during washing, you're cleaning too aggressively—ease off.
3. Rinse thoroughly with cool water: Rinse the hat under cool running water until all soap is removed. Residual soap can attract dirt and reduce breathability. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting the hat, which can distort its shape. Keep rinsing until the water runs completely clear—soap residue can dull the finish.
4. Air dry away from heat and sunlight: Place the hat on a clean, dry towel or a hat form to maintain its shape. Let it air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid using a dryer, radiator, or direct sunlight, as high heat can warp the brim and degrade the hydrophobic treatment. Never speed up drying with a hairdryer—patience preserves the hat's structure.
5. Store properly to maintain shape and finish: Once fully dry, store the hat in a cool, dry place, ideally on a hat rack or in a box that supports its shape. Avoid crushing it under heavy items, which can crease the crown and damage the brim. If the hat gets wet again, let it dry naturally before storing. If you notice water no longer beads on the crown, it may be time to consider a fabric water-repellent spray designed for technical fabrics.

Product spotlight

• Odysea Brick Hydro: The Odysea Brick Hydro is engineered with hydrophobic technology on the crown panels designed to bead away water and prevent absorption. This means you can wear it in light rain or near water without worrying about the fabric soaking through, but you should avoid washing methods that could strip this treatment.
