How It Works
Step 1:
Turn your hat to face the back strap - works with snapbacks or buckle-type straps.
Step 2:
Unbuckle the strap or buckle for your hat.
Step 3:
Using our patented attachment, slide the buckle or the strap through the HatW8 where the HatW8 lives on the inside of the hat.
Step 4:
Slide the other strap or buckle through the HatW8 and adjust until the HatW8 is firm, but comfortable when worn.
After I bought the first one, I used it everyday and decided to buy 10 more for all my friends and family members for Christmas! Super good, discreet self-defense tool.

My sons and I drive ATVs regularly and always had problems with our hats flying off when we drove remotely fast. One of my sons tried to reach for his hat when it flew off once and almost crashed. With HatW8, they stay on perfectly even at top speeds.

I play tennis in Memphis and we've had troubles with car break-ins recently. After I got the HatW8, I felt so much safer walking to my car after I play.
