It is common for the organizers of endurance sports to provide aid stations along the route where participants may receive water to prevent dehydration. To reduce waste at these events, organizers encourage ‘cupless’ races that requiring participants to carry their own vessels. The present invention comprises a hat with a visor, such as a baseball style cap, with a collapsible drinking vessel integrated into the visor. During the course of the race, a runner may encounter a water stop and require a vessel to contain the liquid for immediate consumption. At such time the runner can simply remove their hat and configure the vessel to the open position to receive the liquid. Post-consumption the vessel is configured back to the closed position and becomes seamlessly integrated into the visor with no negative effects upon the runner.

A headwear device is provided for the comfortable and secure positioning of a hat on the head of an animal such as a dog. The device features a body having an interior adapted to engage the head of the animal with side portions having openings therein adapted for encircling the ears of the animal during wearing of the headwear. A position-adjustable fastener adapted for locating under the chin of the animal, is slidably engageable with both of two straps connected to opposing sides of the hat body. A slide adjuster on both of the first and second straps may be employed to cinch both straps and tighten the engagement on the head of the animal.

A hair wrap article, as disclosed, is a regular or irregular geometric-shaped swath of cloth comprising a cloth area and a cloth edge perimeter; and a securing tab affixed, generally stitched, upon the swath of cloth to receive and secure a portion of the swath of cloth. The securing tab affixes upon the cloth at least a discrete distance, described further herein, from the cloth edge perimeter. The securing tab generally comprises a planar configuration, and may embody any regular or irregular geometric shape. A secondary tab may be further employed and stitched proximate to the securing tab. Representative embodiments may employ slits in the cloth, rather than affixed tabs, to receive and secure a portion of the swath of cloth; and such slits are similarly positioned at least a discrete distance from the cloth edge. Various embodiments may employ a combination of securing tabs, secondary tabs, and slits.
