Mission Athletecare EnduraCool Instant Cooling Hats ($22.99; at missionathletecare.com) has limited-edition Father’s Day hats that not only keep dad cool while working out and spending time outdoors, but also feature different sayings to fit your dad’s personality. Let him know he’s your No. 1 with the latest innovation in performance technology, made from a proprietary performance fabric that cools to approximately 30 degrees below the average body temperature in under a minute when soaked with water or sweat, wrung out and then snapped in the air to activate the cooling properties. Dad will get a prolonged “air conditioner” effect to cool his head while he exercises, gardens, does yard work, grills, watches sporting events, and more. Added bonus – Ultra Violet Protection Factor (UPF 50) provides sun protection when covering the skin, making it the perfect outdoor summer essential to stay cool and protected.
Ralph Lauren Fragrances Polo Blue 3-Piece Home & Travel Edition ($160; at select retailers and RalphLauren.com) is a must-have for the classic dad who lives each day to its fullest and inspires you to live in the same adventurous way.
