When I sat down to write this post, my first thought was
“how do I write an entire blog post about a hat?”. Well, this hat is like no other. Imperial Headwear has teamed up with Coolcore
to provide a revolutionizing new product for golfers (and anyone else who likes
to keep their head cool in the hot sun).
I first tried out the Coolcore hat on a summer day when the
temperature was 33 degrees Celsius. After
18 holes, my hat is usually soaked with sweat or there’s a sweat line along the
brim of the hat. I was pleasantly
surprised that on this day, my hat wasn’t wet at all and there was no sign of
any sweat lines at all. Most performance fabrics focus on
moving the moisture from point A (away from the body) to point B (to the top of
the fabric) however it only focuses on where moisture is, so part of the fabric
might be wicking moisture but the other parts of the material are not because
underneath that specific spot is dry. Coolcore fabrics allow for
the entire hat to pull moisture no matter where underneath the hat the moisture
is located, giving you a faster and more exact removal of the moisture.
Below is some information regarding Imperial Headwear and
Coolcore along with the technology behind this revolutionary product.
