Skin Cooler Run Cap

Sale price $ 33.00

Color

In 1990 we invented this great mesh running cap. We updated it with a few unique features to make it a first in the triathlon market for a second time.

Our black Skin Cooler™ fabric keeps you just as cool as the white. It inherently has a reflective virtue that is created by a combination of the fibers, the fiber content, and the special way the fabric is knitted. Once the black fabric gets wet it keeps you cool in hot weather. This is no gimmick, we guarantee it works or your money back!

FEATURES:

  • Pocket on the front fits credit cards, ID, dollar bill, most car keys and even a slim MP3 player, or Ipod Shuffle
  • The pocket is low profile with no velcro
  • Items stay in place from the innovative design and shape of the pocket
  • A plastic brim makes this cap machine washer friendly
  • Nanosurf™ and Skin Cooler™ mesh keep you cool and comfortable while providing protection from the sun
  • Adjustable velcro closure to give you a comfortable fit

What makes ours different?  Our Skin Cooler fiber is designed to feel and perform like silk (from a silkworm). Through Biomimicry, we took the virtues of this natural fiber and created a synthetic silk.  It will keep you cool in hot weather and cooler when it is wet.  Put it on and you will instantly feel the cool sensation.  Wet it and you will notice a drop in the surface temperature of the skin between 7 and 10 degrees.

    LOVE THIS PERFECT RUN CAP!

    I wore this Skin Cooler cap today for a short run/walk in hot/humid 90’s and loved it even more than I thought I would! Used the small gel pocket for keys, and put ice inside the roomy top which was awesome along with airy/ventilated sides and the very soft one inch liner did not irritate my scalp! Came home smiling and energized!

    Great running hat

    I have resisted wearing a cap when running because of concerns about overheating, this cap has been great and so far has been holding up when going through the wash.

    a proven desoto classic

    over the years, i have probably purchased arond half a dozen of skin cooler caps. great staple for sweaty summers, light airy, good quality. it's a go to for shade and to shield light rain.

    It’s a “cool” hat

    After making the call to nearly shave my nearly bald head, I decided I should also shift from visors to full hats for the extra scalp coverage. I had always chosen visors due to the perceived cooler factor of the open top… BUT, this hat, especially when dampened (water, sweat, your call!) give an even greater cooling effect. Plus, something about it puts my mind in a good place to push the pace.

    So good I got a 2nd one!

    This is my 2nd review for this hat. I like my back one so much that I ordered another one in white. They work! I wet the hat just before I start my run and it helps so much. Went on vacation in Aruba and this was a life saver!

    Yes!!! A real cooling hat!

    I was nervous and doubtful that a black hat could keep me cool. I've worn it numerous times. I wet the hat just prior to my race and I am good to go and kept cool. I typically run hot and find myself needing to pull off hats or headbands. Not this hat!! It works! I'm here to buy another one, now in white!!

    Great hat

    normally i sweat through my hat within the first mile, always hoping sweat does not get into my eyes. With the skin cooler hat, i was cool enough to not soak the hat in sweat for this 5k Race. no sweat in my eyes at all.

    Best Running Cap I’ve Ever Used

    I rotate through 3 different running hats, but this is by far my favorite. Comfortable, quick drying, helps keep my head cool. Recently worn for Lubbock 70.3 Ironman.
