FAQ's
What is the Bandit Hat Cinch?
The Bandit Hat Cinch is a lightweight retention system designed to keep your cowboy hat secure during high-speed runs, rough rides, and everyday wear. Unlike stampede strings or adhesives, the Hat Cinch installs discreetly inside your hat - no visible straps, no sticky residue, just a secure fit that looks natural.
How does it work?
The Hat Cinch uses a patented internal tension system that grips your hat to your head without pinching or discomfort. Once installed, it adjusts automatically as you ride, run, or move. Simply place it inside your hat, set it once, and forget about it.
- No need for a stampede string
- No glue or tape on your hat
- No adjustments needed mid-ride
Is it legal for rodeo competitions?
Yes. The Bandit Hat Cinch is placed into the inside of the hat band, it’s non-invasive, and does not alter the appearance of your hat. The patent design makes it competition-compliant. Contestants at all levels and all disciplines have used the product; Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, Xtreme Barrel Racing, Columbia River Circuit Rodeos, High School Rodeos, Junior High National Finals, Pendleton Round-up, and many other national competitions! No more fines for losing your hat mid-run because of this innovative sleek design!
Will it affect my hat fit or comfort?
Not at all. The Hat Cinch is designed to be:
- Ultra-lightweight (you won’t feel it once installed)
- Non-pinching (no forehead pressure or headaches)
- Sweat-friendly (breathable and easy to clean)
What if my hat still comes off?
In rare cases (like oversized hats or extremely loose fit), the Hat Cinch may need a quick adjustment. Here’s what to do:
- Reposition the Cinch slightly deeper inside the hat band
- Make sure your hat isn’t more than one size too big
- Double-check that the Cinch is seated evenly on both sides
- If you’re concerned about it coming off and losing your Hat Cinch, take the string that is attached to the hat cinch into your hat.
If you still have trouble, contact our support team - we’ll walk you through a fix or send a replacement.
How do I clean and care for it?
The Hat Cinch is built to handle sweat, dirt, and arena dust. To clean:
- Remove it from your hat
- Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap
- Air dry before reinstalling
It’s built tough enough for daily use and should last for years.
