“RepYourWater is dedicated to providing uniquely designed, top quality hats for anglers and hunters while increasing support of local conservation and inspiring exploration.”
We recently brought in RepYourWater hats and not just some of them… ALL OF THEM! (Beanies will be here soon) 🙂 So, there are a lot of hats, about 200. As we were going through receiving all of them our warehouse team was picking and choosing their favorite hats. We had an idea. What better way to introduce the new product line than to showcase our favorites and what they mean to us.
Here is what our team came up with.
Brady
Your choice: RepYourWater Colorado Mayfly Mesh Back Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
Mayflies and Colorado. What could be better? This hat embodies it all. Getting to grow up in Colorado is a privilege and being able to fish Mayflies in pristine mountain locations is the icing on the cake for me. Every time I wear this hat I am reminded of how lucky I am!
Mike
Your choice: RepYourWater Colorado Fly and Mountains Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you: This hat for me represents our state or mountains our rivers and waters while inspiring fly fishing. My challenge to you is to find your state hat that inspires you to be in the outdoors!
Joe
Your choice: RepYourWater Colorado Elk Mesh Back Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you: I picked this hat because Colorado is my new home. And because it says Rep Your Wild.
Lauren
Your choice: RepYourWater Colorado Flag Trout Mesh Back Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
I picked this baby ‘cause I wanted a hat to represent my favorite state! I have been looking for a navy hat (it also has a navy under brim which reduces glare), and this just happens to be both of those things. I also love the trout logo, as I am getting more into Colorado fishing. I am learning to love mesh back hats as my collection grows. I love how RepYourWater gives back to many organizations to help keep our waters clean and conserved. This hat gives back to Colorado Trout Unlimited, which is a great organization that AvidMax is a part of. It helps to preserve Colorado waters, educate, and make a difference in our neck of the woods!
Dawn
Your choice: RepYourWater Colorado Stimulator Mesh Back Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
It embodies everything I love about the state of Colorado!
Carla
Your choice: RepYourWater New Mexico Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
My home state hat ROCKS, and I really like the Zia symbol in the fish!
Nichole
Your choice: RepYourWater Pheasant Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
I really like pheasants and also like the full cloth design of it. Having this hat and seeing the pheasant in full flight symbolizes life and freedom to me. I can’t wait to wear it!
Alexander J. Papi
Your choice: RepYourWater Best Catch Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
I chose this hat because it’s not exclusive to any specific riparian or littoral regions of the United States. This hat features a variety of fish that can be found all throughout the world, and for me, the common elements that are found across the globe are what unites us. Here are the reasons I chose the Best Catch hat:
- 5-Panels are what all the cool kids are wearing nowadays.
- I currently own only two (2) green 5-panels
- Snapback swag, snap-snapback swag
- I haven’t owned a hat with a rope traversing the bill in quite some time. I’m not sure if there’s a practical reason for the rope being there or not, but I feel as though I could utilize it to hold many things, including photos of my family, money, and hot pockets.
- Finally, those little white fishies are just adorbs.
Cory
Your choice: RepYourWater Colorado Clarkii Low Profile Mesh Back Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
I like this hat because I prefer low profile hats as they tend to fit me better. Mesh back is always my preference for the cool breeze to get through to my noggin. And the graphic represents two of my favorite things, Trout and Colorado! Plus the subdued gray and green colors are ideal for not standing out when on the water.
Liesl
Your choice: RepYourWater Brown Trout Skin Mesh Back Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
I love brown trout patterns. Since being at AvidMax, I have come to adore the beauty of different trout and their telling spots and colors. Over and over, I will see a picture of a trout and say WOW THAT’S SO PRETTY! and it is nearly always a Brown. Happily, for me the first fish I caught on a real rod was a tiny little brown trout! This hat also comes in a flat bill, but to be real…I’m just not G enough to pull off a flat bill. I much prefer mesh back hats: they’re cooler, they’re lightweight, and they usually still have a high profile, which I find flattering on anyone. It also occurred to me that with this pretty brown spotted hat I could create some pretty stylin’ outfits with a subtle fisherperson flair.
Chris
Your choice: RepYourWater Fish Explore Conserve Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
The reason I chose my hat is because it has everything that makes Colorado the best state. We got mountains. We got fishies. We got fly fishing symbolism on hats. We got it all. Also, it’s for a great cause and helps support the RepYourWater conservation partners to help protect the environment, which is awesome!
Curtis
Your choice: RepYourWater Colorado Fly and Mountains Full Fabric Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you: I like this hat style because it makes me feel proud to be a native of Colorado.
Curt
Your choice: RepYourWater BA5H 2.0 Mesh Back Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
I like the style of this hat. From the dark tones to the yellow trim on the patch it looks really good. As a Minnesota Native, I really didn’t fish much there, so since I have almost lived here in Colorado here longer than I have in Minnesota, it made sense to get a Colorado hat. As far as it being my water, I have been to Boulder many times and love the scenery and access to the mountains there and feel it is a great location to Rep!
Janae
Your choice: RepYourWater Washington – Mount Rainier Mesh Back Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
I choose this hat because it had the mountains on it but wasn’t specifically Colorado and the color scheme is different than any other hat I have. I was also happy to find a flatbill hat.
Gary
Your choice: RepYourWater Hawaii Bonefish Mesh Back Hat
Why you like this hat and what it means to you:
This hat is great for showing everyone where you come from. With a unique design, it will have people doing a double take to admire the glory of your home state & waters. You’ll look amazing on and off the water and leave people in envy!
