One of my favorite things I keep in my hat is a tiny ziplock with a few ibuprofen and Benadryl in it. I can't tell it's there, and it's come in clutch a few times when I or someone I know gets a headache/allergies while we're out and away from home.
You should also look into the panther vision power cap. Ive worn one for the past few years and they are a vital part of my edc now. I use it's light more than all of my edc lights
I like the idea of this hat - However I don't wear hats much - only when I need one - usually to get the sun off my face - usually when it is hot out. My concerns are: 1- does the weight make it a PITA to wear 2- I would expect that the extra layers of the hat & the extra layers of the EDC would cause the hat to wear HOT 🌶 Any thoughts?
A cool trick I have with the Alox Classic SD is to carry a (leatherman style ps) tweezers and the toothpick in a hollow paracord cut to length. I sealed one end and used a pin to cut a small hole a little lower than the seal, and with a lot of effort (and broken nails) managed to slide the paracord into the lanyard hole. Then I used a lighter around the paracord to slowly make the it tighter to make them fit snugly inside it. so now I carry it in my wallet and its about the same thickness and its like a small extestion to the Alox side. Im not sure, but you can try to do it and fit it in the cap as well. Sadly I dont find the link where I saw it previously, and I cant post a picture but Im sure you get the drift. Thanks for the review!
"Well it's a pile obviously. Look at this crap." Honestly made me laugh harder than it should. Excited about the improvements, I've been debating on grabbing one.
The biggest drawback of a cap is that you can easily lose it, and the biggest drawback of the belt is that you can't easily access items in it, so actually this works only as a hidden cache for some stuff.
@@maxlvledc NOOOOO you would LEGITIMATELY be suprised how much a person could sweat. But I would like a hat like that if I didn't. Are they the only ones who offer this or are there other hat companies?
Generally a fan of the channel. But to me the idea of storing things in your cap (especially inside) seems dumb. Surely the things stored in the inside pockets has to affect how comfortable it is to wear. And being able to look up and see things stored in the underside of the bill must get annoying.

Right on!
I'd slip a 20 and a 100 in there, every so often cards don't read or "the machine is down" but you might be low on gas in a road trip.
for sure...but since I tend to switch hats often..that doesn't always make sense lol. I would be like a forgetful squirrel.
Good grief, I didn’t know these existed! Talk about keeping it under your hat! These things look schweet. Thanks @Maxlvledc! 👍🏻
cheers! I love them, have since the kickstarter.

I've loved my gen 2 hat, and I've been wanting to get another for a bit now. I'm actually glad I waited for a bit.
Cables and adapters, _sigh_ I wish that wasn't a real every day struggle, but it really is. Seems like a good move to keep that on hand.

I also will put a uncle bills silver gripper on the other side...and that works flawlessly
I've been curious about these thanks 👍

That was the hope!

Tilley has been doing this for years. Thank you for the video.
Looks good, but I dont like caps with adjustment bands in the back. They should do a Flexfit version
You need the security of the velcro imo...so it can be tightened enough for events that have a lot of wind.
When do you think you will review your belt? I’m looking forward to that video.
Has he done that yet? Couldn’t find it. That’d be cool. 👍🏼 I saw Eric at kitbashed survival review one a few years ago.
Where'd you get that Hat Comb?
Were you able to get that alox classic into the new hat? You didn’t show! 😂
Does it work with the ergodyne bump cap insert?
That's a damn good question....I'll ask Wazoo
Yes, it does.
What generation cap was the one with the Wazoo name and logo patch in the front? Isn’t that Cache cap the first gen Cap?
Ah, that's a Wazoo cache patch in leather attached to one of the hats with a velcro pannel
I feel like the cap rides “high” as observed by the space between the hat and top of my ear compared to a “regular” cap. It makes it feel weird. IMHO
Thats fair! It can be purchased with a whole kit, and I think many of those items make it too big. You have to resist the urge to overfill.
This kind of thing is RIGHT up my ally! Honestly edc for your hat?? 🤯 but my issue is that I can't wear a hat atleast not for long I sweat ALOT!!!!!
So do I...which is why my hats look like that lols!

@@henryohenry1504 nope, just them
@@maxlvledc crazy kool idea
I haven't found a hat yet that does not show sweat stains from my head on the hat and bill of the hat within a few weeks or month of wearing the hat.
That's why I like black lol.
I think my head's too big for stuffing extra stuff into my hat.
you will be surprised, I've seen some big heads store a lot of stuff in there.
I hope they make a booney hat :)
These hats don't look like they fit larger heads.
I mean...they are adjustable. And Dave Canterbury wears one every day and he is big brain lol.

Telling you. It's surprising, I've never felt uncomfortable or noticed.
"dumb" haha, that's not a nice word.
This is madness
Cool vid, they look horrible on the head though. I much prefer my Notch hats. Hugs you head down to your ears, looks good and pairs great with shades
A handy cap without a handicap!
Sorry! Couldn’t help.
NICE!
I thought this was a joke.
Nope, I was serious 😅
@@maxlvledc apparently it is a common thing among EDC. I like the idea, primarily for cash and a paper backup I.D. in case of wallet theft.
👍🏼
Neat
Any old ones for adoption? Thanks
They would be far to used to be worth it, if your serious email me.
This may be the perfect gift for any drug dealer
