One of my favorite brands of cooling gear for hikes is the Mission brand of hats, gloves and towels. It provides a chemical-free cooling effect when I am heated up! It is called, HydroActive™ Wet-to-Cool Technology. The innovative fabrics are scientifically proven to amplify the natural evaporation process. Experience cooling effects of up to 30 degrees below average body temperature and it makes cool downs so comfortable when you don’t want clothing that traps your body heat keeping you uncomfortable hot.

These Performance Gloves come in a lightweight or midweight styles. The lightweight is made with a lighter fabric and has a 4 way stretch. The midweight gloves have adjustable hook and loop closures and are water resistant. They both have proprietary heating technology with lightweight insulation. They are moisture wicking, touchscreen compatible and have a silicone palm grips.

The Cooling Performance Hat is lightweight, breathable and has UPF 50 Sun Protection. This is the perfect hat on a hike or run when you need the protection and don’t need to trap heat. Just last weekend as I completed a snow hike in 30 degree weather, I worked up some good body heat that is was nice to switch from my ski hat to my performance cap.
