Nobdody’s flat brim skull caps are designed and tested in White Salmon, Washington, where the sun meets the rain.

Co-owners Sam and Sarina set out to design a comfortable and stylish skull cap for paddling year-round. The first dozen prototypes were made on Sarina’s home sewing machine in Sam’s spare bedroom. Our friends at Immersion Research, a whitewater apparel company with an office in Hood River, helped us perfect our prototypes using specialized equipment and industry knowledge. Once we developed a hat that we felt deserved a larger market, we partnered with an overseas manufacturer to make them in bulk.

We are incredibly grateful to IR for their guidance, and to everyone who has waited so patiently for hats.

  • A few years back, our paddling friend Leif ordered one hundred custom bumper stickers that said,

    “Nobody cares how high you run the Little White (River)”.

    It was a reminder to not take yourself and your sport too seriously. The stickers contained a typo, however — nobody was spelled with an extra “d”.
