Well the newer had just doesn't sit on my head as well as the older one. In a light wind, it tends to take off. I adjusted the band in the back, etc. and the only thing I can come up with is the hat is not as preformed as the old had was. So I thought it must be that the material is thinner or something. Even though they are the same brand and look identical inside, they are made in different countries. So they are different.

Funny you mention this Chuck, I just received my hat (along with the MH3 mic for my KX2) and really like the hat. Not sure what you mean by "limp". Maybe you mean the older hat was "stiffer"?
