Why Shade Mate

After losing my younger sister to cancer and surviving the same disease, I decided to use my time to make a difference! Seeing people wearing baseball caps exposed to the blazing sun, I asked, What if there was a way to shade ears & neck, while wearing your favorite cap? A hundred iterations and 3 years later we’re introducing the patented Shade Mate™, for safer times outside in the sun exploring the world.
