Headwea r 18 | SEPTEMBER 2018 | INNOVATE Cool It The committee for a summer 5K/10K run was looking for items to include in the registrants’ gift bags. They chose the Cooling Headband, which wicks moisture away from the skin, dries quickly and provides UPF 30 sun protection. To activate the cooling agent, participants simply had to soak the headband in water, wring out the excess and give it a few shakes. The day of the race was sunny and warm, so many of the runners pulled them out of their bags and used them right away. The headbands were well received because of their immediate usefulness in keeping participants cool and providing an extra layer of protection from the summer sun.

However, the basketball team wanted a unique design exclusively for team members and coaches. The school ordered custom beanies for the boys’ team and ear bands for the girls’ team. The athletes loved the apparel, and the designs were so popular that the school ended up placing a larger order for beanies, ear bands, knit caps and scarves. The teams sold these pieces to fans to raise money for summer skills camps. Source: Cap America Case Studies Stay warm this winter with this Sportsman Chunky Knit cap .
