Points of Improvement
Ideally these hats would be made in Canada to cut shipping emissions and support the local economy (Fractel is based in Australia, ♡ to you Aussies). I couldn’t find a Canadian company making endurance caps with similar sustainable practices and apparent quality, and Fractel was great to work with.
