    Abstract: The present invention relates to a headgear that provides a moisture wicking mechanism. It includes a visor with multiple soft absorbing sections for rapid drainage and evaporation of the moisture; wicking regions on the crown; a sweatband that comfortably secures the headgear to the head, and may further facilitate absorption of moisture; a protective shield that protects the skin of the head from chafing due to embroidery or lapel pins, where such embroidery may be added after the manufacturing process; a sweat dome on the crown that absorbs the moisture from the top of the head; and a visor insert that stays firm and durable when subjected to repeated washing. These features may appear independently, or in any combination in any given embodiment of the headgear. This invention helps to keep the head dry and cool, increases the comfort of the wearer, and decreases perspiration, odor, especially for bald persons.
