Abstract
Provided is a head covering comprising a generally triangular shaped fabric sheet having an inner surface and an outer surface, the fabric sheet having a front edge and first and second opposing edges, at least one evaporative cooling fabric secured to the inner surface of the fabric sheet, and a first and second stretchable fabric panel located on or within the fabric sheet. A method of aiding thermoregulation of the human body and a kit including a head covering and instructions for use is also provided.
Claims18
A covering adapted for the head comprising:
- a fabric sheet having an inner surface and an outer surface, the fabric sheet having a front edge, first and second opposing side edges, a first tie end defined by the front edge and the first side edge, and a second tie end defined by the front edge and the second side edge, wherein when the fabric sheet is laid flat, the fabric sheet is generally triangular in shape, the front edge is coincident with a side of a first angle, the first side edge is coincident with the other side of the first angle, the front edge is coincident with a side of a second angle, and the second side edge is coincident with the other side of the second angle;
- at least one evaporative cooling fabric secured to the inner surface of the fabric sheet;
- a first elastic fabric panel located on or within the fabric sheet and having, when the fabric sheet is laid flat, a first arcuate shape extending across the sheet from the front edge to the first side edge;
- and
- a second elastic fabric panel located on or within the fabric sheet and having, when the fabric sheet is laid flat, a second arcuate shape extending across the sheet from the front edge to the second side edge;
- wherein the first and second elastic panels are configured so that if the covering were placed on a user's head, with the front edge placed across a forehead of the user's head and the first and second tie ends tied together behind the user's head, each elastic panel would extend vertically directly above or behind a user's respective ear for a distance greater than each fabric panel extends horizontally;
- and
- wherein the first and second stretchable panels are a different material than the fabric sheet.
