Field Test showing the amazing cooling effect of our Hyperkewl Fabric inside a sports cap
— Techniche ANZ HyperKewl Hat featured.
We recently had a customer that tested the cooling effect of our HyperKewl fabric when placed inside a hat using an insert. The results, as demonstrated below, were quite remarkable. There was over a 35 degree difference between the temperature at the brim and the temperature inside the hat when the insert was saturated (soaked in water). Now keep in mind that this was a basic test not conducted in a research facility, but would be more akin to field testing under various controls. Nonetheless, the results, or rather impact on cooling the individual, were impressive enough that I thought that I would share some of the data.

| Temperature before placing insert Degrees Celsius | Time | Hat peak | Top of hat | Temp inside crown of hat | % Cooler inside hat |
| Chilled insert | 3:00PM | 52 | 37.7 | 26.1 | 50% Cooler |
| Saturated Insert | 3:00PM | 48.8 | 33.3 | 28.8 | 41% Cooler |
| Dry Insert | 3:00PM | 50 | 50 | 44.4 | 11% Cooler |
TechNiche Evaporative cooling caps – saturated proved up to 30% better cooling inside the crown than a regular hat, and if placed in chilled water, provide up to 39% better cooling!
