ABSTRACT:
A ski hat has an outer substantially tubular shell of flexible laminated fabric having top and bottom apertures to be placed over the head. The laminated fabric comprises three layers, an outer layer and inner layer each of spandex fabric, and a middle layer of microporous polyurethane laminate. The shell has top and bottom apertures. The hat has a flexible outer band surrounding the top aperture and a drawstring for reversibly tightening the flexible outer band surrounding the top aperture. The hat further can have protrusions integral with the substantially tubular shell and adjacent to the bottom aperture of the shell for covering the ears. The ear flaps can be lined with a layer of insulating fabric such as fleece-knit polyester bunting. The ski hat can further comprise a head covering for covering the top of the head joined to the cylindrical shell and made of insulating fabric. The hat can further comprise a foldable mask for covering the nose, mouth and chin attached to the bottom side of the head covering. The mask is lined with a layer of insulating fabric and is capable of being placed over the nose so as to leave an air pocket between the mask and the nose to facilitate breathing when in use. The mask is capable of being folded back into the hat when not in use so that the hat can be worn without the mask. The ski hat of the present invention provides comfort for the wearer under a wide variety of weather conditions such as might be encountered during outdoor recreation.
