Well, we were camping on a peninsula campsite and had a great fishing area that went right out into the lake. I was fishing for hours and it was blowing and storming off and on all day. After we were back at campsite, I told my friend who had given me a Capsurz, "That strap thingy really does work."
One day we were just doing a day trip and my friend came around a point and the wind picked up fast. He just dropped the Capsurz down and continued to paddle without missing a stroke or losing his hat. Capsurz was indeed a nice extra to our caps during our trip.

I’ll use it in my boat as well, for sure. So simple, so effective and so affordable; I can’t say enough nice things about it.
It’s just great!

It was very windy all day long with winds gusting to 20 - 30 mph and since we were in a river valley the wind blew from every direction at one time or another. At one point we had whitecaps coming back up the river at us. It wasn't 5 minutes into the trip and I had brought the Capsurz down from the crown of my cap and secured it under my chin. Every time I had an opportunity to show it off I did and there were a couple of times that the wind blew so hard that the cap lifted off my head and was standing straight up on the back of my head still secured by the Capsurz. I guess the windy day just confirmed my support of your product. |

At the get together after the paddling I donated two Capsurz to the raffle drawing and made sure the winners knew how to use them. Please feel free to post my testimonial -- the Capsurz clearly work as advertised.

About a month ago, Mari Baskin with Para Designers, Inc. sent me some information regarding a new product called Capsurz. I had no idea what it was until I clicked on the website…. My immediate reaction was: “How clever and how simple and how useful!” A Capsurz consists of 2 clips, braided cord, sliding beads and a decorative charm. I have already nicknamed it a “charm band” for a cap. Its purpose is to hold a sport cap in place so that the wind will not blow it off your head. Although it will work for many applications, I saw immediately that a Capsurz would be a great product for anglers who fish out of a boat. |

I am forever taking my cap off and usually sitting on it when I am driving my bass boat up and down the lake going to my next fishing spot. I thought that if this product lives up to its claim of keeping a cap on your head at up to 60 mph, I would be impressed. I was also curious as to how hard a Capsurz is to attach to the cap….so, I asked Mari to send me a couple of samples – one for myself and one for my sister, Denese – to test at our next tournament in Georgia. Since they are available in different designs, I specifically requested the breast cancer ribbon logo on the samples. Mari was kind enough to honor my request and they were in my mailbox within the week.
Denese and I put our Capsurz to the test on Clarks Hill Lake in Georgia and found that it is everything it says it is…easy to attach to your cap, easy to slide the beads to use the chin strap, easy to re-slide the beads and use it as a decorative hat band and we did not have to take our caps off at any time during our boat rides to keep them from blowing into the lake. The Capsurz looks good, is easy to use and it really works! Check out the website www.capsurz.com and learn how to windproof your cap!

I have been able to ride with a ball cap under conditions that would ordinarily have sent that cap sailing into the woods. At 75 mph there is noticeable vibration but the cap stays on. I experienced 40+ mph gusts of cross-wind that I feared would cause the strings to give way or the clips to lose grip, but no problem – the hat stayed on. I think you all have a real winner with these. |
I‘m not sure how well Capsurz will catch on with macho biker-types where image is way more important than convenience, but I like them so I‘ll wear them wherever I go....I took a spin through Garden of the Gods park over lunch today and found someone kind enough to snap the attached photo of me wearing a Capsurz. Again, thanks. I wish you all the best in your business.

I planned our family's first horseback riding Spring Break to a dude ranch in Arizona: Christmas gifts of beautiful cowboy hats announced our plans to the kids. A couple of weeks before our departure, I noticed in the fine print of the brochure's gear list
that any hats worn while riding need to have stampede cords. I didn't realize that this string or chinstrap meant that the hat had to have holes which ours did not. I googled how to save my hat and fortunately came up with your Capsurz website.
I ordered them and got them right away. When we got to the dude ranch, everybody wanted to know where we got the Capsurz, especially the people who had to have holes put in their expensive Stetsons. The Capsurz were strong and comfortable. My kids remarked that they didn't even realize they were wearing them. Better yet, we never lost our hats to the wind. Thanks, Capsurz, for the best way to retain our hats. After our vacation, I transfered them to our baseball caps and we wear them all the time.

When we got on land, it was extremely windy, and I even saw one person lose their hat when the wind blew it off into the sea. With the Capsurz, I did not have to hold onto my hat like many other people did on the cruise and on land. It held my hat securely on my head, and I had no worry that it was going to blow off. Capsurz was a great thing to have on the trip and it could definitely help many other people. |

They call it windproof. I call it hurricane-proof. This device is a great hat saver. I could have protected my favorite Astros cap from Hurricane Ike last year.

I have to tell everyone how great this product is. I just got back from a Caribbean cruise and everyone else's hat was blowing off into the ocean. I could have sold a bunch of these -- everyone kept saying how they need to get something to protect their hat. I also like that the paua shell charm decoration looks like hat jewelry, too. Capsurz is a really nice way to decorate my hat and keep it on my head, too

My dermatologist told me about Capsurz after I told her I had a convertible that I didn’t plan on giving up. It‘s great to be able to keep my cap on, especially on the freeway. Thanks for such a great selection to go with all my caps.

I drive a convertible and found my first Capsurz in Lake Geneva, WI. LOVED it from the first trial and now that we have fun in our Lotus Super 7, I won't ride without my Capsurz! Friends have also purchased Capsurz and are as big a fan as I am.
Simple, dependable, and unobtrusive!!!!!!!!!! GREAT product! Once you own one, you'll agree.
I just bought two more!

of the hat. I think “everyone” in this situation has thought about using alligator clips, me included, but of course what goes with that is the potential damage the clips could cause to the outside of the hats or brims. And many people are kinda fond of their caps/hats and collect them like myself, and therefore don't want to damage them if they can help it, many caps being from remote and special places.
Your solution to this problem seems to be the long-sought-for right one. And what a simple thing Capsurz is, too, the “simple” solution and utilization of what millions of cap wearers all over this country and world needed for our caps vs. the wind and have long been looking/wishing for - CAPSURZ!
BTW, I'm planning on ordering 2 more of your product today, as gifts for two of my friends who also ride. I really, truly enjoy supporting GREAT American products and inventions, like yours.
God bless yous all and your company, and once again thanks for such a long-needed, great product and invention.
Sincerely,
A Capsurz fan

I finally got to do a little riding again this past weekend and used your product for the very first time. Capsurz WORKED GREAT.
In states where there are no helmet laws, like my state, Arizona, we can ride without helmets if we wish to, and since the sun is so hot here in Phoenix, well I then like to wear a cap with a brim to keep the sun off of my face, the only problem being, until now, was the wind constantly blowing my caps off my head and because of this, me always having to tilt my head down while riding.
I have quite a cap collection, close to 100 at least, and I prefer to wear them while riding than wearing brimless bandanas because of the sun.
It's easy to lose a hat on a boat, as well. Lots of reasons for using Capsurz! Something that cap wearers have “needed” and “desired” for so long!
I think you have a real winner with Capsurz. Other devices for cap retainers are obviously very much inferior to yours, seeing how they all pretty much require a clip on the outside
