ABSTRACT:
A high quality, ultra-lightweight headgear and method of displaying and storing the headgear in a rolled up format. The headgear is adapted for folding and rolling into a tight compact unit for ease in packaging, product display, travel and storage. The headgear, when unrolled and unfolded, returns to its original and natural shape maintaining its rigidity and new appearance. The headgear may be a visor, ball cap and the like and is made of cloth fabric with a fabric covered soft bill of different shapes. The bill is characterized by being made of closed cell, chemically crosslinked, polyolefin foam with an average cell size of not more than, 0.008 inches and a density range of 5 to 12 pcf. The bill, by the nature of the polyolefin foam construction, won't break or crease when folded or crushed. The bill has a thickness in a range of 3/32 to 1/8 inches and a compression set in a range of 6 to 10% of its thickness. The closed cell polyolefin foam structure of the bill is more rigid and has a higher tensile strength and modulus which makes it a firmer cap bill and also allows its use in a much thinner skiving without the bill having a floppy appearance. The headgear also includes hook and loop fasteners which allow the item to be adjustable to any size head. Further, the headgear includes a headband covered with cloth fabrics The headband is made of an open cell foam material and is designed to absorb perspiration and be self wicking.
