Detachable-Brim Hats and PCM Cooling Arm Sleeves:
Tailored Items for Outdoor Activities

Outdoor brand K2 is launching sun protection items such as brimmed hats and cooling arm sleeves, targeting outdoor activities during the summer season.


The "Light Shade Ball Cap" is a detachable-brim hat that shields the sides of the face and the back of the neck from sunlight. The brim can be easily separated with snap buttons, allowing it to be used as a brimmed hat in strong sunlight, or as a regular ball cap for everyday wear. Made of lightweight nylon fabric and featuring a Coolmax sweatband, it is designed for both efficient sweat absorption and comfortable wear.

The "Fly Hike Full-Shade Hat" is designed to reduce sunlight exposure to the face and neck area, featuring a wide brim and a sunshade. The sunshade is detachable, allowing various configurations depending on outdoor conditions.


The "Ossak Sun Guard Arm Sleeve," a UV protection product for the arms, incorporates PCM (Phase Change Material) for cooling. This material absorbs heat as body temperature rises, lowering skin temperature for a cool wearing experience. In addition, its moisture-absorbing and quick-drying properties, as well as a finger hold for secure fit, help minimize discomfort during extended activities.



Shin Dong-Jun, Head of Footwear and Accessories Planning at K2, said, "During summer outdoor activities, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight makes it important to have items that cover exposed areas while remaining comfortable to wear." He added, "K2 proposes a comfortable outdoor experience even in hot weather through practical summer outdoor items such as detachable-brim hats and cooling arm sleeves."
