Coolhead Iii Zero Booney unisex

Usage:

• Intense sun protection during outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, fishing, or kayaking, shielding head and neck from UV radiation.
• Designed to maintain comfort in warm and sunny climates, thanks to its cooling and moisture management technologies, ideal for long days under the sun.
• Perfect for trips to destinations with high sun exposure, as its packable and lightweight design facilitates transport and versatile use.

Features:

• Omni-Shade™ Broad Spectrum UPF 50 sun protection that effectively blocks UVA and UVB rays, preventing sunburn and long-term skin damage.
• Omni-Freeze™ ZERO cooling technology, whose incorporated blue rings in the fabric react with sweat to lower the material's temperature, providing an immediate and sustained feeling of coolness.
• Omni-Wick™ moisture-wicking system that actively disperses moisture and sweat from the skin to the fabric's surface, facilitating rapid evaporation to keep the head dry and comfortable.
• Packable and roll-up neck protection flap, offering extended sun coverage on the back of the neck and can be discreetly stored in an integrated pocket when not needed.
• Wide brim of 8.89 cm that provides generous shade over the face, ears, and neck, enhancing protection from direct sunlight.
• Adjustable drawcord with stopper at the back allows for a customized and secure fit for different head contours, preventing the hat from blowing off in the wind.
• Lightweight and flexible design that facilitates packing and transport in backpacks or luggage without taking up much space.

Materials:

• Outer fabric (Shell) made of 100% Recycled Polyester, a sustainable material that reduces environmental impact by reusing resources. This fabric is lightweight, durable, quick-drying, and offers longevity against continuous use and outdoor conditions.
• Lining composed of a blend of 89% Polyester and 11% Elastane. This combination creates a soft, breathable, and elastic inner fabric that comfortably conforms to the head. Polyester contributes to moisture management in synergy with Omni-Wick™ technology, while Elastane ensures flexibility and an adaptable fit. It is in this lining that Omni-Freeze™ ZERO technology is integrated for active cooling.
