How Do Cool Hats Work?

Cool Hats Work To Cool You In Several Ways:

• The way your body cools itself is by perspiration. The Cool Hat has a padded terry towelling sweatband that adsorbs your perspiration, thereby alerting your body to further cool itself by perspiring more. The Cool Hat can have the Magic Cool Pad removed, so there is no problem with washing your Cool Hat repeatedly.
• They are made from a brilliant breathable micromesh. This means that the whole circumference between the brim and the crown is totally breathable. If you hold it up to the light, it appears to be quite see-through. This allows all the hot air to escape around the entire circumference of your head. Yet that single layer of material has been tested by Arpansa and is a full 50+ protection. We are even listed in the product guide of Arpansa: (http://www.arpansa.gov.au/uvrg/2283.cfm)
• A magic Cool Pad, worth $11.00, that fits inside the double crown of the hat, is included with every Cool Hat. It is filled with non-toxic food grade polymer crystals that swell when placed in water. It is best to put water in the sink and then scrunch the Cool Pad to inflate itas, once it starts to inflate, it will inflate quite fast. It is best to be inflated like a Jatz cracker : not too much. Be careful not to leave the Cool Pad in water for too long as, if it over inflates, it can be too top heavy, or may even burst as the crystals keep expanding. Should this occur, leave the Cool Pad in the sun to deflate. If it has split, simply stitch it at that point and start over. It will take several days to deflate.
• The Cool Pad works to cool you from the crown. To really feel this working, place the Cool Pad in the fridge and then place it in the crown and feel how cool it is. Many people, especially outside workers, will have 2 or 3 Cool Pads in the fridge or esky so they can swap them over and keep really cool.

Think of your Cool Hat as being like a Coolgardie Safe on the outside of your car.
