Headsweats

Headsweats

Headsweats Perspiration Technology Headwear ® was founded in the fall of 1999 by shoe industry veteran and obsessed cyclist, Alan Romick. Frustrated by the perils of heavy sweat blindness, migrating sunscreen, and odd sunburn pattern on his head through his helmet, he set out to develop headgear that worked. Encouraged by the constant feedback within the local cycling community, he took the best attributes of what was available and improved on them. Starting with one product -- The Classic -- available at first in just four colors, Alan’s products quietly became elite athlete’s secret weapon around the world, eventually expanding to over 17 different products available in over 140 different colors and styles.

Epic Kayaks

After enjoying the benefits of lightweight, well designed racing equipment, it was a shock to us the first time we padled with heavy, unrefined touring kayaks and paddles. We thought, "Why can't modern technology be used to build better touring equipment?" We've paddled the equivalent of 6 times around the world with 70 years combined experience in all water conditions. Our passion for paddling and knowledge of high performance racing technology is contained in every Epic desinged kayak and paddle. Our models are optimized for ease of handling, efficiency in the water and to be extremely lightweight. Whether you're a beginning recreational paddler or a highly competitive racer, our equipment will improve your paddling experience.
