The Extreme Fit Cap and Coolmax Caps Are Designed to Keep the Head Cool in Hot Weather

New Bedford, MA, February 1, 2006 . . . Ahead, a leader in branded headwear and apparel, is setting a new industry standard in performance headwear with the introduction of the new Extreme Fit E16X and Coolmax caps C17CMX and C18CM3. The new headwear is designed to move moisture away from the head, keeping the head dry and cool during hot weather.

The new performance headwear is part of the popular ACARE Performance System that is used in Ahead apparel. The E16X is a low-profile fitted cap that combines cotton and micro polyester fabric with a moisture wicking system implemented during construction of the cap. The result is a cap that performs and looks the best in hot weather. The E16X is available in seven popular colors: orange, palm, scarlet, cadet, navy, black, and white, and two sizes: med/large and large/x-large.

The two new caps featuring the Coolmax moisture management system are designed with a meshed-back, which allows more heat to escape to keep the head cool on hot summer days. The C17CMX features a two-color design with a colored front panel: scarlet, navy, white, and a white mesh back. The C18CM3 uses the pure Coolmax fabric inside the mesh back and comes in solid white. The Coolmax caps are adjustable using a new sharp-looking rubber Velcro strap system.

"We are very excited to expand our popular ACARE Performance System into headwear," stated Eddie Fadel, Director of Merchandising, Ahead. "This line of headwear will keep the golfers cooler and dryer on hot days, primarily due to the incredible moisture management system used in both caps."

The new woven appliqué label and rubber appliqué label will be available for decoration on the new headwear along with Ahead’s innovative embroidery.
