To meet the demand, Ahead has added an additional 15 color options to AeroSphere’s line of nine styles, across both the men’s and woman’s collections, including the addition of the Pilvi, which features an XL fit in a structured silhouette.
- With additional colorways added to the group, Ahead continues to lead the way with its Women’s Ponytail offerings. Available in either lightweight cotton or the AeroSphere tech fabric, the Trixieand the Kyla are THE most versatile ponytail hats on the market. Featuring an overlap back opening, these styles provide the option to wear as a high pony or as a regular cap.
- The Ryder Cup is coming to the United States in 2025 and Ahead is introducing several red, white and blue / stars and stripes headwear pieces. The Patriot—already a best seller in the fashion print collection—features a cotton twill navy blue front and a stars and stripes mesh back. The Nicklaus 2.0 is an update to Ahead’s classic bucket hat, with a stylish red, white, and blue colorway option. Rounding out the USA themed headwear selections are two new patriotic knits: the Williamsburg and the Listra.
