New Eras’ Cool Base Performance Technology boasts three main factors:
1) revolutionary wicking
2) superior drying
3) shrink resistant
The visible difference is the material. The On-Field Collection caps featuring the Cool Base Performance Technology are made out of 100% polyester, many other New Era caps are produced from 100% wool or simply a 70/30 wool/cotton blend.What makes New Era caps featuring the Cool Base Performance Technology different than other New Era 59Fifty cheap snapback caps?
Polyester is a synthetic material used to make distinctive clothing garments, mostly made originating from a cotton/polyester blend. Here are a couple advantages of using polyester:
1) polyester dries quickly
2) polyester retains its’ shape better
3) polyester is a lot more resistant to mold spores damage
For major league baseball players and other athletes, it is easy to understand why New Era makes their On-Field Collection caps beyond polyester. Polyester New Era caps featuring the Cool Base Performance Technology are well suited for MLB players as well as other athletes because from the extreme conditions they play in. Polyester helps:
* the hats dry quickly in hot conditions, when the cap is apt to be drenched in sweat, or, in rainy, cold weather.
* the hats not shrink. New Era caps are mostly fitted, while exposed to sweat or water, wool or cotton caps will shrink.
* the hats retain shape through games, practice, being thrown in lockers and stuffed while in the bottom of athletic bags.
* the caps retain color better.
When creating polyester clothing articles like New Era caps, you must take very thin threads of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which have been woven or knitted to provide maximum flexibility.Combining thin polyester fibers with the products stitching that New Era provides, you will notice that New Era caps made with all the Cool Base Performance Technology, use a smooth and silky feel.
