Once the wearer's hair is pulled through the aperture, the aperture decreases in size and provides a secure fit around the wearer's hair. The elastic loop supports the long hair upwards in a manner that prevents the hat from riding up or the hair from falling onto a rear brim.

Abstract: A removable cooling apparatus for a hat spaces a headband of the hat away from a wearer's head, creating an air gap that allows air flow over the wearer's head. A removable cooling apparatus uses coupling structures to hold the removable cooling apparatus in place against the headband. The removable cooling apparatus can be removed completely from the hat when not needed or for cleaning, leaving the hat in an unaltered state. A removable cooling apparatus may use a thin flexible strip to keep the headband of the hat from falling open into the air gap created by the removable cooling apparatus. The removable cooling apparatus use compressible pads to space the headband away from the wearer's head. The contact location of the compressible pads with the wearer's head can be easily adjusted by the wearer.
