UPF 50+ Sun Protection, Engineered for Performance
For summer events, fishing tournaments, and outdoor work, a standard polyester gaiter can feel too hot. Cooling gaiters solve this problem.
The fabric is embedded with mica crystals that have high thermal conductivity, creating an immediate 'cool-to-the-touch' feeling.
Protect your team from harmful UV rays. Our fabric is lab-tested to block 98% of UVA/UVB radiation, reducing sunburn risk.
The spandex blend is lighter and airier than standard cotton or fleece, wicking sweat rapidly to keep the wearer dry.

This isn't just fabric; it's wearable technology designed for heat management.
Our cooling fabric isn't dipped in chemicals; the technology is in the fiber. We blend Polyester with Spandex and Mica Minerals. The minerals actively conduct body heat away from the skin, while the spandex provides a 4-way stretch comfort that standard gaiters lack.
We use high-performance Dye Sublimation to print your brand. Because the ink becomes gas and bonds with the fiber, it does not clog the fabric's micropores. This ensures the gaiter remains 100% breathable and moisture-wicking, even with a full-coverage dark print.
This is the preferred headwear for high-activity or high-heat settings. Whether it's for a marathon, a fishing tournament, or construction crews working in the sun, the "Ice Silk" gaiter improves performance and safety.

We ensure your cooling gear performs as promised.
We don't just claim "sun protection." We test our fabric batches to ensure they meet the UPF 50+ standard, providing you with a verifiable safety claim for your customers.
Summer gear gets sweaty and washed often. We use high-quality sublimation inks that rate 4.0+ on color fastness tests, ensuring your logo stays vibrant after 50+ washes.
We can package individual gaiters in custom-printed foil bags or cardstock envelopes that highlight the "Cooling Technology" features, increasing perceived value.
Direct answers to common B2B questions about Ice Silk headwear.
Our "Ice Silk" fabric contains mica minerals embedded in the fiber. Mica has high thermal conductivity, meaning it absorbs body heat instantly and transfers it to the air, creating a physical cooling sensation on the skin.
Yes. The sun protection comes from the tight weave of the fabric and the density of the fibers, not a chemical coating. Therefore, the protection will not wash out over time.
The Standard Gaiter is 100% polyester, lightweight (130gsm), and cost-effective. The Cooling Gaiter adds Spandex (5%) for stretch, is heavier (170gsm) for a premium drape, and feels physically cool to the touch.
Yes. The smooth, silky surface of this fabric is actually better for high-resolution photo printing than standard microfiber. The result is incredibly sharp and vibrant.
Our standard MOQ is 500 pieces. This ensures we can run a dedicated dye-sublimation production batch for your custom design.
The standard style is a simple tube. However, we can manufacture a version with sewn-in ear loops ("hanging ear" style) upon request. This prevents the gaiter from sliding down during intense activity.
No. This fabric is designed to release heat, not trap it. For winter, you should choose our Fleece-Lined Gaiters.
Yes. We can send a stock sample so you can feel the "cooling effect" yourself. Custom printed samples take about 5-7 days.
Yes. Unlike standard gaiters which are often raw-cut, we typically hem the top and bottom of Cooling Gaiters to give them a premium, retail-ready finish and prevent rolling.
Yes. Machine wash cold and air dry. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking capability.
Yes. We can source a recycled polyester (rPET) + spandex blend that offers similar cooling properties, although the "ice" sensation is slightly less pronounced than the mica-infused virgin fiber.
Standard production takes 20-25 days. This material requires more careful handling during printing and sewing than standard polyester.
