ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a ventable ski hat for enabling a skier to selectively vent body heat, the ventable ski hat essentially comprising a superficial insulative fabric layer, a deep moisture-wicking fabric layer, zipper structure, a mesh fabric layer, and an insulative head band member. Together the superficial fabric layer and the deep fabric layer define a superior vent portion and an inferior crown-receiving portion. The superior vent portion comprises an anterior-superior portion, a posterior-superior portion and a selectively-ventable vent aperture. The zipper structure is located at the vent aperture for selectively venting the vent aperture. The zipper structure is medially aligned along a wearer's head in superior adjacency to the wearer's superior head surface, thus defining an insulative air layer. The zipper structure thus enables the wearer to selectively vent body heat from the insulative air layer.
