NEMO Trucker Hat Fit and Care Guide

Quick answer

Get the right fit by measuring your head and using the snapback closure, then keep your NEMO Trucker Hat looking great with gentle hand washing and proper storage.

How to fit and care for your NEMO Trucker Hat

1. Measure your head for the right snapback setting: Wrap a flexible tape measure around your head about 1 inch above your eyebrows and ears. Note the circumference in inches or centimeters. The NEMO Trucker Hat's snapback adjusts to fit most head sizes, but knowing your measurement helps you start at the right snap position. Common mistake: Guessing your size. A too-loose hat will blow off; a too-tight one leaves a red mark. Measure once and save the number.
2. Adjust the snap closure for a secure fit: Place the hat on your head and fasten the snapback at the back. It should feel snug but not tight—you should be able to slide one finger between the band and your head. The hat should stay put when you shake your head gently. Checkpoint: If the hat leaves a deep dent in your hairline, loosen it one snap. If it shifts when you look down, tighten it.
3. Hand wash with mild detergent: Fill a sink or basin with cool water and add a small amount of mild detergent (like Woolite or a gentle soap). Submerge the hat and gently swish it for 2-3 minutes. Focus on the sweatband and any stained areas. Do not scrub the structured front vigorously—it can lose shape. Common mistake: Tossing the hat in the washing machine. The agitation can warp the structured front and damage the mesh back. Always hand wash.
4. Rinse thoroughly and air dry: Rinse the hat under cool running water until all soap is gone. Gently squeeze out excess water—do not wring or twist. Reshape the hat by hand, then place it on a clean towel or a hat form to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat. Checkpoint: Never use a dryer or radiator. High heat can shrink the cotton twill and melt the mesh. Let it dry naturally for 24 hours.
5. Store properly to maintain shape: Keep your NEMO Trucker Hat on a hat rack, shelf, or in a drawer where it won't get crushed. Avoid stuffing it into a backpack or hanging it by the snapback for long periods—the weight can stretch the closure. Common mistake: Folding the brim or stacking heavy items on top. This flattens the structured front and leaves permanent creases. Store it flat or on a form.
