Angry at hood?
It does not hold up against the wind unless you tighten it which is not pleasant!
In the rain it sticks to my face, makes me sweat and does not protect my glasses well !
And who uses a hood to protect themselves from the sun?
It hides the view on the sides and makes noise by rubbing my ears !
Current head protections are neither practical nor comfortable in all situations, nor suitable for all weather!
An umbrella is not practical if it is windy or if you need both hands !
In the wind a hat or a cap flies away unless you tie it and it’s not pleasant!
In the sun a cap or a hat makes you sweat and does not protect your ears or neck well!
The solution: Overcap, a semi-rigid removable hood
At OXAZ Company, we looked for solutions. After several years of research & development, dozens of prototypes and hundreds of tests, we have created a unique product in the world that revolutionizes weather protection for the head. The result of a biomimetic and eco-design approach rewarded with two medals at the Lépine Competition, Overcap is revolutionizing weather protection for the head.
SEMI-RIGID: HEAD FREE AND VENTILATED
Thanks to its thin frames, Overcap does not touch your head. It remains well ventilated and completely free to move!
Overcap is larger than a regular hood and less bulky than an umbrella.
Your head, ears and neck are protected from the sun, cut from the wind, sheltered from the rain and isolated from the snow!
