Mission Cooling Performance Hat

Mission's Cooling Performance Hat is a low-profile athletic cap built around the brand's chemical-free cooling fabric, designed to lower surface temperature when wet with water or sweat.

### Overview

The Cooling Performance Hat is a classic-fit cap built around Mission's proprietary evaporative cooling technology, designed to enhance performance without compromising style. It features HydroActive Wet-to-Cool Technology, instantly cooling up to 30 degrees below average body temperature in under one minute and maintaining coolness for up to two hours when activated with water. Mission's fabric technologies are endorsed by the Heat and Safety Performance Coalition at the Korey Stringer Institute.

### Who It's For

This hat is well-suited for tennis, running, hiking, cycling, yard work, and any activity in hot weather. It's also designed for everyday activities, from cheering on your kids at their games to indoor or outdoor workouts. Anyone who works or spends extended time outdoors in the heat — and wants a practical, reusable cooling solution without relying on chemical treatments — will find this a strong option.

### Important Considerations

- **Cooling requires water:** Even when dry, the ventilated material keeps the cap cooler than a regular hat, but the strongest cooling effect happens when activated with water — so you'll need access to water to get full performance. - **Cooling duration is limited:** The effect lasts up to two hours per activation, meaning you may need to re-wet the hat during longer outings. - **Sizing can run small:** A reviewer noted the hat was smaller than expected and required an exchange for a larger size — check sizing guidance before ordering. - **Pricing:** The Cooling Performance Hat is listed from $9.99 up to $29.99 on Mission's site, depending on color and availability, making it an accessible entry point into Mission's cooling lineup.
