Abstract
An item of clothing (in this case is shown as a hat) 10 comprises wall 30 having formed of netting 10. There is also a silvered layer 50 in proximity to the wall 30. In use, heat rays from the Sun are reflected from the wearer's body by the silvered layer 50 while walls 30 allow heat to be vented away from the wearer's body. Optionally, gel layer 60 is present which results in evaporation of liquid away from the body, so further cooling the wearer.
