Evaporative Cooling Headwear
The Ergodyne 12479 is a red terrycloth head protector that uses water-activated beads for evaporative cooling. Soak the garment to activate the cooling effect for warm conditions. An elastic tie band secures the universal-sized dew rag around the head. Low-profile styling suits workday and weekend use.
Suited for hot environments.
Workers in high-heat settings gain a moisture-wicking layer that helps manage sweat through evaporation. The elastic adjustment fits a universal size without hard-hat suspension compatibility. Buyers needing certified impact resistance or flame-resistant fabrics should look at something else. Machine-washable care simplifies repeated use.
Water-activated evaporative beads
Cooling relies on terrycloth material holding water-activated beads that release moisture as they dry. No power source, gel packs or chemical refrigerants are involved. Activation requires soaking the garment in water before wear. Series 6615 identifies the product line for reorder reference.

Questions about this item
What head size does the universal elastic tie band on the Ergodyne 12479 fit?
The elastic tie band stretches to fit most adult head circumferences and secures with a low-profile knot at the back.
Can I wear this cooling hat under a hard hat or helmet without extra bulk?
Yes, the low-profile 6 in width and terrycloth construction sit flat against the head for compatibility with most helmets.
How do I know the evaporative beads are active after soaking the hat?
The terrycloth feels cool and damp to the touch, and the red fabric darkens slightly when the beads are fully hydrated.
