Abstract

A headwear with an integrated cooling system which effectively and efficiently cools a user's head and neck. The headwear includes a headwear body, a first fan assembly, a second fan assembly, and a rechargeable battery. The headwear body includes a dome, a bill, and a nape-covering portion. The bill and the nape-covering portion are positioned opposite to each other about a rim of the dome. The first fan assembly and the second fan assembly each include a motorized fan and a cover housing, wherein the motorized fan is mounted within the cover housing. The first fan assembly cools the face of the user and is integrated into the bill. The second fan assembly cools the neck of the user and is integrated into the nape-covering portion. The rechargeable battery supplies electricity to the first fan assembly and the second fan assembly. Additionally, the rechargeable battery is mounted onto the dome.
