Abstract
A mechanically ventilated headgear assembly for cooling a head of a user includes a hat, which can be positioned on the head of the user. The hat has a plurality of apertures positioned therein proximate to a top thereof to vent the hat. A battery is engaged to the hat. A fan, which is engaged to and positioned within the hat proximate to the top, is operationally engaged to the battery so that the battery is positioned to selectively power the fan. The fan motivates air through the apertures to cool the head of the user.
