CoolCore® Chemical Free Fabric

CoolCore® is a patented chemical-free cooling technology built into the fabric fibers of our hats and accessories. CoolCore® maximizes a fabric's wicking ability, quickly evaporating sweat to keep you cool and comfortable in any condition. Best of all, it won't wash out over time—CoolCore® cooling technology keeps its cooling properties for the life of the garment.
