This beanie is made in Japan, using special German manufactured Dralon fabric. The hat can be worn in cold conditions and also hot environments as the fabric is designed to remove sweat from the wearer's skin and is therefore also comfortable to wear during sports. The fabric itself is spun from cotton and acrylic using special techniques which causes capillary like structures in the material to form. These are the same type of structures that are used in plants transpiration systems to move water around the organism. A natural product is included during the manufacture process which prevents odor causing bodies from producing unpleasant smells.
