Thanks Barred.
I didn't have real problems with the Track Hat until now,maybe (also) because I bended the bill a little. In dry state it too stays flatter than in the original state.

My pleasure, I would not like to see you waste a good cap if it did have a cardboard bill.

I think I read on a few places that the vector clip should better be on a cap with a straight bill.
Is this true and if so why ?
By the way, I noticed that you can bend the bill of the Track Hat a little to make it less curved. Although I didn't try it yet, I also think I read somewhere that making the bill of a cap wet and then bend it a little should help making the new shape more permanent.

Rijnton, there were a good few posts of people's view flipping in game when they moved their head down, some were also reporting sluggish movement in one direction or another.

Using the Vector on a flatter peak of a cap has seemed to help eliviate these problems, along with covering the reflector built into the TrackHat. Hence the sugestion to use a flatter peaked cap if you were having these problems.

As for making the bill flatter by getting it wet, a lot of bills are made of cardboard and if you get them too wet they fall apart. I do not know for sure what the TrackHat's bill is made of, but better safe than sorry

My clip is stuck on the top of my headphones now (I hate wearing the cap) works really well
