Yes, Kangol for some reason just looks out of place in florida ( just my opinion)

A Kangol looks out of place everywhere. You have to be willing to make a fashion statement. I had an artist laugh at me the first time he saw me in the hat (taper friendly artist in a non-friendly venue).

I guess maybe what i meant those Kangols really make me sweat, they don't seem to breathe to well.




i use the breathable one it’s got great vents

Specifically look for the Ventair line.

Pretty sure they come in baseball cap style too, for those that don't want to look like Leo Nocentelli.  Those don't have as much room around the rim though.

I don't care wearing a Kangol.
I'm there to get the job done, not to look well dressed.

it's a concert, not a fashion show

Not so much worried about fashion, however the Kangol at times especially in 100 degree weather can look out of place and I don't want to attract undo attention

My brother was wearing a Peaky Blinders (newsboy) style hat and I was wearing a Kangol at this show a few years ago.  This was UFO's Phil Mogg's reaction to them:

The artist that laughed at me made the same Peaky Blinders reference.

I'd love to get your opinion on it once you try it out. I've gone back and forth on grabbing one.

^It took a little getting used to, but after using it a half dozen times or, I have come around to really liking the Shapeways mount.  The switch coincided with the change to MK41Vs, and I really like the results I'm getting.  I can't say how much of the (perceived) improvement is due to the mics, and how much is due mounting them on the Shapeways.

One thing I really like is that I don't worry anymore about the mics moving around.  I shoot video down in the front a lot, and thus move around a fair bit and also crane my head around with the camera to follow the action.  As long as they are tightly seated in the Shapeways mounts, those 41Vs are locked in place and do not move at all.  It's nice not have to worry about them shifting during the show.

I wear my schoeps mics in a kangol hat.
I put them above my ears. Part of the side vents are blocked this way. Does this affect sound much?

I can't tell you how much it affects the sound, but that's exactly how I deployed my MK41s; although I tended to push them a little bit more toward the bill.  So, they were situated above and a little in front of my ears.

I tended to get pretty good results deploying them this way, and this was in arenas, amphitheaters, big clubs, small clubs, etc.

[robeti]

Yes, same. Results are really good. Sometimes I run them dina with the kangol backwards. That way the vents are not really blocked. I can't tell I hear a difference. Maybe I should try putting them in front of the hat pointed at stacks, instead of putting them above my ears.
