Is it better to buy a combo hat or a plate hat and a base hat??

Thanks

I have both, in plain and IHSA logo. I tend to use the combo the majority of the time. Personal preference - it might depend on whether or not your hat keeps coming off when you take off the mask.

By "plate hat", do you mean the short billed beanie?

The beanie is a 2-stitch hat. There is a 4-stitch plate hat now. Also a 6-stitch that they usually call a combo.

Personally, I wear an 8-stitch regardless of plate or bases.

You don't have any problems taking the mask off with an 8 stitch hat?

I too only where an 8-stitch - regardless of plate or bases. Taking the mask off is all technique - there's no problem with ripping the hat off too.

Out, then up. Doesn't matter how many stitches.

" . . . you have your mask too loose."

I admit that I am dense at times:

How can a mask be too loose?
