Do you worry
about keeping your head safe from sun damage and skin cancer? It is a common ailment for runners and other
outdoor enthusiasts. I have shorter hair
and unless I cover my head, my scalp isn’t protected. I hate putting sunscreen in my hair as well
because it runs into my eyes when I sweat.
You can use hats, but many hats out there retain heat. There is a newer solution that I just came
across, the Chrome Dome Cap.
Chrome Dome Cap is made from Italian
UV protective fabric, but is hand sewn in San Diego, California. The caps are made with 65% recycled products
and are certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 requirements. That means that the fabric is independently
tested and certified to make sure that they don’t include chemicals or other
substance that could be harmful to your health.
Let me say it again, NO
harmful chemicals are used in this product.
How many products that you use can make that statement?
The Chrome Dome Cap also meets strict
guidelines that certifies that the cap is rated as 50+ for both UV-A and UV-B
rays, which can cause sun damage and skin cancer. The Chrome
Dome Cap provides a cool, wickable, and breathable solution to running or
cycling in the sun.
The caps
keep your head dry and cool by moving the sweat away from your skin. By keeping your body temperature down, it can
help improve your performance. I have
tested the Chrome Dome Cap in
both warm and cold weather. I found that
it is extremely comfortable to wear and it not only covers your head, but your
ears too. Unlike many hats or caps out
there, I didn’t feel like it trapped in the heat, which is a huge pet peeve of
mine.
The Chrome Dome Cap is easy to
clean. You simply wash it by hand, using
mild soap. Then just hang it up to dry
and you are good to go. By washing it on
a regular basis using these instructions, your Chrome Dome Cap should last for a
long time.
During the
hot runs, I found that the cap did an excellent job of wicking my sweat
away. In the cold, it kept my head warm
enough, although it might not be enough in extremely cold temperatures. When I first put on the cap, it fit kind of
snug, but it adjusted to the size of my big head after a few minutes and felt
awesome.
It comes in
several colors and styles. You can get
the UV
Protection Skull Cap for $29.95 (black, white, and orange), the Sun
Protection Cap with Reflective Loop (in white only) for $33.95. They also have a Pink UV
Protective Hat without the reflective loop for $29.95 and a Bigger
Sun Protection Cap with Reflective Loop for $33.95 (available in black).
