Product Details

The Skull Cap Shorty X2 is the above-ear version of SweatHawg’s toughest sweat beanie. With its double-layer absorb-then-wick construction, it gulps sweat before it drips and dries fast to keep you cool. The shorter cut keeps straps and eyewear clear, making it a favorite for athletes, workers, and firefighters alike. From the jobsite to the trail, it’s serious sweat control in a compact profile.

Benefits

X2 ABSORBENCY — Dual-layer rayon (from bamboo) construction gulps sweat and wicks it away fast.

ABSORB-THEN-WICK TECH — Absorbs first, then evaporates—stopping drips other caps can’t.

SHORTY FIT — Above-ear coverage stays clear of straps, eyewear, and comms for a clean fit.

UNDER-HELMET OR SOLO — Low-profile, flat seams prevent hot spots under helmets; also great on its own for workouts or work.

HUMIDITY-READY — Engineered for sticky climates and high-output sweat where wicking-only caps fail.

BALD-HEAD FRIENDLY — Soft, itch-free feel on bare skin; stops sweat racing down your scalp.

WASHABLE & REUSABLE — Machine wash, air dry, repeat. Built to outlast disposables.

MADE IN THE USA — Hand-sewn in Oregon with small-batch quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for my SweatHawg?

We recommend hand or machine washing, warm or cool water. No fabric softener please, it clogs the absorbent layer. Dry cool, or hang dry. Best not to wring it out, rather squeeze excess moisture out or roll it up in a towel. When washing a headband, wash closed and be sure the hooks are embedded in the loops. Exposed unsecured velcro hooks will snag delicate fabrics.
