Ventilated hat

An all-weather runner's hat, the aerodynamic design of which promotes airflow around the head of a person while, at the same time, deflecting rain and other elements wherein the hat comprises:

• a. a generally dome-shaped crown which fits over the upper portion of a head wherein the crown has a top and a lower edge and a front and a back, and wherein the lower edge has an inside surface and an outside surface,
• b. a brim fixedly attached to the lower edge of the crown and extending generally outwardly and perpendicularly therefrom at an angle of about 15 degrees from a horizontal line running from the back of the crown to the front of the crown, said brim varying in width from the front of the crown to the back of the crown,
• c. 4 to 10 vents positioned around the crown generally halfway between the lower edge and the top of the crown,
• d. a headband, adjacent the inside of the lower edge of the crown of the hat, extending around the inside of the crown in approximately parallel relation with the lower edge thereof and having a surface facing the inside of the hat and a surface facing the head of wearer when the hat is being worn,
• e. an air space between the inside lower edge of the crown and the headband which allows air flow in and around the head,
• f. a rear brim turning downward from a an outermost edge of a portion of said brim which extends rearwardly and outwardly from the lower edge of the back of the crown, said rear brim extending substantially perpendicularly from the horizontal line running from the back of the crown to the front of the crown, and
• g. 3 to 8 spacers fixedly attached to the inside lower edge of the crown and to the surface of the headband facing the inside the hat.
