Understanding the Differences between High, Mid, and Low Profile Hats
The Key to Finding Your Perfect Cap: Knowing the Difference Among Hat Profiles
Have you ever had trouble looking for the perfect baseball cap? Was there a time when you thought you found the right style and fit, but upon wearing it for hours, you realized the hat or cap was too tight or too big for you. Was there a feature you felt you're missing?
We'll let you in on a not-so-secret trick: the best hat choice also comes from finding the correct profile, which refers to the hat's height or how much it covers your head. The crown and the bill are two parts of the cap and together they form the profile. Depending on the crown height and the shape it creates with the bill, they can form low, mid, or high profiles. Learn more about these profiles and why you should remember them the next time you go hat-shopping.
Get to Know the 3 Hat Profiles
Low profile hats sit low on the head, while mid profile hats offer the classic baseball cap fit. High profile hats have the most prominent coverage, which lets you pull them down over your eyes. The chart/graphic below expounds more on each profile's characteristics and how they'll match your preferences:
| Profile | Low Profile | Mid Profile | High Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crown Height | 3 inches or less | 3 to 4 inches | Anything above 4 inches |
| Fit | Snug fit | Snug or slightly loose fit | Loose fit |
