Product Details

The Skull Cap Shorty X2 is the above-ear version of SweatHawg’s toughest sweat beanie. With its double-layer absorb-then-wick construction, it gulps sweat before it drips and dries fast to keep you cool. The shorter cut keeps straps and eyewear clear, making it a favorite for athletes, workers, and firefighters alike. From the jobsite to the trail, it’s serious sweat control in a compact profile.

Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for my SweatHawg?

Hand-wash or machine-wash in warm or cool water. Do not use fabric softener, as it clogs the absorbent layer. Dry on a cool setting or hang dry. Avoid wringing; instead, squeeze out excess water or roll the item in a towel. For headbands, wash them closed and ensure the hooks are secured within the loops. Exposed Velcro hooks may snag delicate fabrics.

How does SweatHawg help with sweat control?

SweatHawg uses highly absorbent, moisture-wicking materials that pull sweat away from your face and eyes. This helps maintain comfort and visibility during cycling, outdoor work, training, and other high-heat activities.

Can this be worn with helmets, hats, or other gear?

Yes. SweatHawg products are thin, flexible, and designed to work under most helmets, caps, hard hats, and other headwear. They function well as helmet liners, skull caps, and headbands.

Who usually benefits from SweatHawg products?

People who sweat during cycling, indoor training, construction, outdoor work, hiking, and other heat-intensive activities often choose SweatHawg for better sweat control and comfort.

How long does the absorbency last?

Absorbency varies by activity level, but most users experience strong sweat control before needing to rinse or refresh the fabric.
