This is my second Athlete Operator Blackout cap from Notch and although its the same great design as before, I've noticed a few things different this time around. 1st thing I've noticed, it fits slightly larger almost touching my eyebrow - unlike the previous cap fitted perfectly sits halfway between the forehead & eyebrow. 2nd thing I've noticed, the headlining has a different mesh-like fabric material compared to the previous cotton canvas fabric. 3rd thing I've noticed, the Patent No. 9027165 has a separate tag unlike previously, it was labeled onto the Notch logo. Before it was made in China, but now it's made in Vietnam. Although, not a big issue - but just like how it was originally.
