[지데일리] As the vacation season continues in earnest and the record-breaking heatwave continues, more and more people go to the forest to escape the heat, and ‘Forest Cance (Forest + Vacation)’ is emerging.
Recently, according to the National Institute of Forest Science of the Korea Forest Service, forests are expected to attract more attention as summer resorts as they reveal that they have the effect of reducing heat waves by providing a shade effect that blocks the scorching sun and a transpiration effect that lowers the temperature.

There are many considerations to safely enjoy outdoor activities in the forest, but among them, preparation for ultraviolet rays is important. If exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, burns and skin aging can be induced, so it is good to have clothes that can block ultraviolet rays.
In particular, a high-functional hat that protects the face and sight while moving and boasts a comfortable fit that prevents sweating even when worn for a long time is attracting attention as a must-have item.
Gore-Tex, a representative high-functional material, collaborates with domestic and overseas partners to present hats that combine excellent functions as well as stylish designs. Hat products that will help you go on vacation in a comfortable and stylish way this summer are attracting attention.
First of all, Kolon Sports’ ‘Unisex Gore-Tex Infiniium Ball Cap’ features a strap with logo embroidery and a buckle that can be easily adjusted in size, making it a product that can be worn stylishly in everyday life.
The Gore-Tex Infinium material is applied to the outer fabric for excellent windproof function, and the mesh material is applied to the lining to boast a comfortable fit. In addition, the environment was considered by applying a sweatband using recycled polyester, and it is easy to manage the product because of its excellent sweat release function and fiber resilience.
Black Yak’s ‘Gore Camp Cap’ boasts a comfortable fit by applying a sweatband that quickly absorbs and dries sweat. It is an eco-friendly product using yarn made from waste plastic bottles collected in Korea, and it can be worn comfortably even in sudden rainy weather by applying Gore-Tex fabric.
In addition, it features a string that adjusts the size of the product, and it can be worn in style in everyday life as well as outdoors in the form of a camp cap.
