Abstract
Provided is a hat that creates an air curtain between a wearer and the external environment to prevent contact with contaminants, pathogens, insects, and the like. The device includes a hat with a fan, an air intake, a power switch, a power source, an interior channel, and release points. Air is directed into the hat through the air intake, which then travels through the interior channel towards the release points. The air is compressed and expelled through release points, which are angled downward and away from the wearer. The flow of air creates an air curtain separating the wearer from the external environment.
