A hat comprising a canopy. The canopy has a front sweatband and a rear sweatband with a right sweatband gap on a right side of the canopy and a left sweatband gap on a left side of the canopy. The front sweatband has a front sweatband right edge and a front sweatband left edge. The rear sweatband has a rear sweatband right edge and a rear sweatband left edge. The front sweatband right edge and the rear sweatband right edge define edges of the right sweatband gap. The front sweatband left edge and the rear sweatband left edge define edges of the left sweatband gap. Right and left ear panels are mounted to the right and left sides of the canopy at the right and left sweatband gaps.

A vented hat sweatband includes a venting layer and a sweatband layer. The venting layer includes an exterior surface, an interior surface that is opposite the exterior surface, a rigid or semi-rigid venting structure and a central opening. The venting structure includes a plurality of airflow pathways extending between the interior and exterior surfaces along a vertical axis from a top side to a bottom side that is opposite the top side. The central opening extends from the exterior surface to the interior surface, through the rigid or semi-rigid venting structure and across the plurality of airflow pathways. The sweatband layer is attached to and covers the interior surface of the venting layer.

The removable cap protector is a protector that can be removed, washed, and reused once absorbing excess moisture. An objective of the removable cap protector is to provide users with a device that retains the original shape and integrity of the cap the present invention is secured into. The removable cap protector is intended to provide users with a device that can prevent or reduce sweat stains. The removable cap protector has a non-woven layer and a foam layer, each of which are thin pads. The non-woven layer and the foam layer are secured to each other along their respective flat sides. The non-woven layer has a bonding mechanism, a water-resistant backing, a plurality of non-woven layer ridges, a non-woven layer bottom section, and a non-woven layer top section. The foam layer has a plurality of foam layer ridges, a foam layer bottom section, and a foam layer top section.
