A temperature control head covering and system provides for a knit cap, a knit cap with flap, a headband and other elements that provide for one or more temperature controlling elements disposed on the head covering's interior, such as but not limited to a removable or built-in temperature control pack such as an ice pack or heat pack area contained within an inside pocket within an inside liner disposed on the inside of the head covering. The present invention's inside pocket may be configured to permanently or removeably hold a temperature control pack. In some embodiments, the present invention's inside pocket may run the full length or perimeter of the hats, or in other embodiments can be limited to a particular size or placement so as to focus on an affected or specific area.

A ventilated hat is provided that includes a crown and a brim, the brim having air passages that extends from the front and/or sides of the brim, through the brim to the crown. Air is enters the air passages at the front or sides of the brim when the wearer moves or when any slight breeze blows into the brim, cooling the wearer's head.

Methods and apparatus for a head covering may improve air circulation through any suitable head covering. Methods and apparatus for a head covering may comprise a base configured to fit around a wearer's head, a sidewall comprising a plurality of open cells configured to prevent light rays at or above a predetermined angle relative to the passageway of each cell from passing unobstructed through the cell, and a crown configured to close of the interior surface of the sidewall. The minimum depth of each cell may be determined based on the height of the cell, the angle at or above which the light rays are to obstructed, and the angle of the exterior cell opening. The cells may be arranged in the sidewall such that the lower surface of the passageway of each cell is substantially at the same angle with respect to a horizontal plane.

A cooling and warming garment assembly for cooling and warming a user includes a hat that is configured to position on a head of a user and a vest that is configured to position over a torso of the user. A first sleeve is reversibly couplable to the hat and positionable adjacent to a neck of the user. A gel is positioned in an interior defined by the first sleeve. The gel is configured to be chilled prior to coupling of the first sleeve to the hat. A plurality of pouches is coupled to the vest. Each of a plurality of packets is substantially complementary to and selectively insertable into a respective pouch. The packets are configured to be chilled prior to insertion into the pouches. The gel is configured to cool the neck of the user and the packets are configured to cool the torso of the user.

A hat includes a brim having a front portion and a back portion. The hat also includes a crown which is coupled with the back portion of the brim. The brim includes one or more intake ports placed along the back portion of the brim and the crown includes one or more exhaust ports.

A head covering, such as hats, visors, bandanas, etc., which includes a perspiration removal system.

The present invention is a removable, reusable and interchangeable multi-shell lining configured for placement within a hat member, cap or any sort of head-wear for adjustable thermal comfort, moisture retention, reduction of friction thus reducing frizz and breakage of naturally dry and curly hair. The lining is comprised of a satin outer shell, satin-encased thermal middle shell and waterproof inner shell. The three shells, which are not bonded together, provide optimal moisture retention, reduction of friction of hair and thermal comfort. The three constituent shells are intended for contact with the wearer, can be interchanged and or used as a single shell lining while still maintaining hair moisture and reducing hair frizz and breakage.
