Boulder, CO, October 29, 2019 – Headsweats, the 20-year leader in high-performance headwear and apparel, is going green with its all-new REPREVE® line, consisting of hats and apparel made from recycled plastic bottles.
“Our new REPREVE® line is our most exciting product launch in 20 years,” said Mike McQueeney, President and CEO of Headsweats. “REPREVE® allows us to reduce our environmental impact and actually improves the performance characteristics of the fabrics in our products.”
With headquarters in Boulder and in business since 1998, cyclist Alan Romick launched his company with a single cotton cycling cap style. Headsweats now offers hundreds of high-quality products ranging from truckers and visors to headbands and beanies and winter accessories. Headsweats also offers a complete line of customizable technical headwear and apparel to optimize athletic performance.
Headsweats is partnering with REPREVE®, the global leader in branded recycled performance fibers, made by Unifi, Inc. Working with leading consumer brands, REPREVE® has diverted more than 18 million plastic bottles from our oceans and landfills to make environmentally responsible products that consumers use every day. Bottles are sorted, cleaned and chopped into bottle flake, which is melted and extruded into REPREVE® chip, which is then spun into REPREVE® performance fiber. The end result is moisture-wicking, quick-drying, temperature-regulating, water-repelling, odor-controlling, comfortable and lightweight fabrics made with REPREVE® performance fibers.
Headsweats’ new collection of REPREVE® cycling caps and performance shirts is available now and includes hats, headbands, skull caps and technical shirts.
