While settling up and collecting my winnings last Sunday over a celebratory frosty beverage, I couldn’t help admiring my Hooked On Golf Blog hat, made by Imperial Headwear.
Best Golf Hat EVER Made? I Think So
This hat is Imperial’s “Coolcore” line, even in black and 95 degrees my head was nice and cool and the sweat seemed to evaporate away nicely. Even better, the brilliant logo and precise embroidery on the black background made my apparel script the best on the course, and the best across several counties.
I’ve already posted my Imperial Headwear Coolcore Golf Hat review, but she’s such a beauty I had to show her off again.
Coolest hats in the world? Absolutely – Coolcore by Imperial Headwear
About an hour before I left for the airport and my big european vacation the UPS guy delivered a box. Perfect timing. Inside was a batch of new Hooked on Golf Blog hats made by Imperial Headwear. The europe trip would be a fantastic way of putting one of these hats to a stern test.
Greece
On the first day of my trip in Greece I visited the famous Acropolis in the center of Athens. Anyone who has visited that spot in the summertime knows there are few hotter places on earth. The place is super dry, exposed, and you are hiking up and down steps. It’s a sweat factory.
While sweating hard huffing around the Acropolis and in Athens I could not help but be impressed and stunned by how cool my head felt, especially given the conditions. My sweat had not soaked into the seam on the front where the bill attached. There was no nasty sweat line on the bottom-front or on the first inch or so of the bill. Somehow the fabric and the Coolcore technology helped to get that cranial moisture to evaporate rather than soaking into the hat.
The next day I spent farther north of Athens in a place which has incredible monasteries. Getting to the monasteries required hiking on extremely steep trails and thousands of super-vertical rock and marble steps. It was like doing miles of stair-master exercises in the heat of summertime in Greece. Once again, the hat kept my head cool and more dry than any other hat I’ve worn.
Village and Islands
My trip then found itself on four different Greek islands and the lovely small fishing village of my grandfather. Hiking around there, and boating from island to island I once again found my Coolcore hat to perform fantastically. No sun in the eyes, dry, cool, comfortable.
All that performance is fantastic but to put the hat over the top it looked fantastic, especially with the Hooked on Golf Blog artwork embroidered on the front. #style
London
After Greece a few days in London gave me the chance to try the hat in some cooler temperatures and some pretty substantial winds. I’m sure I had the coolest hat in all of England, all due respect to all those hats with British flags on them.
Durability
After schlepping my hat thousands of miles and walking miles and miles, my Coolcore looks just like new still. There isn’t even a wrinkle in it.
Custom Logo
As you can see by the brilliant artwork on my sample hats, Imperial does custom logo on the Coolcore hats. I must say the gray and black model HOG hats look stunning with such sharp and accurate embroidery.
Conclusion
If you’re just shopping for single hat which will offer the best in cooling this summer, pick up a Coolcore. If you need a bunch of custom logo hats for your golf club, your business, or your blog, I highly recommend Going the Imperial Coolcore direction.
These Imperial Headwear Coolcore hats are undoubtedly the coolest hats in the world:

IMPERIAL POWERED BY COOLCORE® HATS NOW AT PRO SHOPS
Cooling Technology Lowers Fabric Temperature Up to 30 Percent Below Skin Temperature
BOURBON, MO – Imperial Headwear has announced that its Imperial Powered by Coolcore® hatshave begun hitting pro shop shelves. Introduced in January at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, the products have been well received by the many golf professionals who have experienced them.
“The most anticipated golf headwear of the season is now available at better golf shops across
the country,” says David Shaffer, Director of Marketing at ImperialHeadwear. “Cooling fabrics are definitely the next trend in performance fabrics and Imperial is excited to be the first company to bring this industry-leading Coolcore technology to the golf market,” says Shaffer.
Coolcore® provides a cooling solution that extends beyond traditional moisture-management fabrics or evaporative cooling technologies that typically rely on chemicals. It’s 100% free of chemicals, polymers, gels, crystals or phase changing materials, ensuring all Coolcore® benefits never wash out or degrade. And, Coolcore® fabrics deliver three distinct functions, including moisture wicking, moisture transportation to accelerate drying, and regulated evaporation for a cooling effect. The result is up to 30% lower surface temperatures, drier garments that don’t cling or saturate, healthier chemical-free usage, and zero degradation of the cooling effect over time or washing. Coolcore® is the only company globally to receive the “Cooling Power” award from Hohesntein.
“Imperial’s new cooling technology has the potential to change the headwear business,” said Laura Robinson, Director of Retail at Pinehurst Resort. “The Pinehurst team saw their demonstration and we were all amazed at how this can be incorporated into headwear designs. Imperial impresses me with their innovation in the accessory category.”
