The present invention relates to a hairband for guiding sweat, which can guide and discharge sweat running down from a user's head area to a user's forehead area so as to prevent the sweat from reaching eye areas during exercise or working. A hairband for guiding sweat, which is flexibly worn on a user's forehead area and guides sweat, the hairband may comprise: a band part including a first band member and a second band member, each of which includes a coupling member which may be coupled to and mounted on the user's forehead area; and a sweat guiding part disposed between the first band member and the second band member, wherein the band part and the sweat guiding part are integrally formed. Therefore, the hairband can simplify a manufacturing process and thus reduce a manufacturing cost.

A sweat-absorbing pad for use with a headwear having a sweatband, which includes a body with a front surface that is configured to contact, at least in part, a user's head or forehead to absorb sweat; and a first clip. The first clip includes a clip body which includes a base, first and second legs, and a clip arm. The first and second legs extend from the base, and the clip arm extends from the base. The clip arm is substantially parallel to the first and second legs, and the clip arm is resilient to bias against the clip body. The clip body is substantially received in the body. Furthermore, the first clip, configured to receive at least a portion of the sweatband, fitted in between the body and the clip arm, such that the sweat-absorbing pad is detachably fixed to the sweatband.

A removable cooling apparatus for a hat spaces a headband of the hat away from a wearer's head, creating an air gap that allows air flow over the wearer's head. A removable cooling apparatus uses coupling structures to hold the removable cooling apparatus in place against the headband. The removable cooling apparatus can be removed completely from the hat when not needed or for cleaning, leaving the hat in an unaltered state. A removable cooling apparatus may use a thin flexible strip to keep the headband of the hat from falling open into the air gap created by the removable cooling apparatus. The removable cooling apparatus use compressible pads to space the headband away from the wearer's head. The contact location of the compressible pads with the wearer's head can be easily adjusted by the wearer.

Aspects herein are directed to an article of headwear having a first layer of material formed from a polyester yarn, a second layer of material formed from a polyester yarn, and an absorbent layer positioned between the first layer of material and the second layer of material at a front of the article of headwear. The article of headwear is configured to temporarily store perspiration produced by a wearer's forehead area and transport the perspiration to the sides and back of the article of headwear where it can subsequently evaporate or be harmlessly released.

A hat insert for maintaining a structure of a hat and a characteristic of a head of a wearer, and related methods of manufacture and use. The hat insert is constructed by attaching a shaper configured for supporting the hat to a liner configured for contacting the wearer's hair or scalp. An improved hat is constructed by inserting the hat insert into the hat. When the improved hat is worn by the wearer, the hat insert supports the hat and protects it from damage and also engages the wearer's hair or scalp and protects hair strands, hair follicles, and skin pores from becoming damaged or soiled as a result of wearing the hat.

The combination of a headwear piece having: a) a crown with a wall having an inside surface bounding a space for receiving a part of a wearer's head; and b) a rim/bill projecting from a forward region of the crown; and an accessory having a body with a thickness between front and rear sides and made from a material that substantially blocks migration of moisture therethrough. The accessory has an array of small openings extending through the body thickness to provide for air passage. The accessory is configured to be placed in an operative position against the inside surface of the crown wall at the forward region of the crown to reduce contaminant transmission from a wearer's head to the inside surface of the crown wall at the forward region.

The presented invention is a light weight protective bump cap hat. The bump cap hat has an insert comprised of flexible joints and wings that allow for adjustable horizontal and vertical dimensions of the insert to more readily accommodate various head shapes and sizes. The bump cap insert also has venting channels to allow better venting around the comfort pad and out the crown of the bump cap while being worn by a user.
