[Problem] To provide a cooling structure for a cap or the like employing a logical and effective water supply method for supplying moisture to a water-absorbing material incorporated in a cap or the like to obtain a cooling effect through evaporation. [Solution] A water pouring port 1a that enables pouring of water from a PET bottle is provided at the crown portion of a cap body 12 of a cap or the like. On the reverse sides of the cap body 12 and a flap portion 13, one surface or parts of both surfaces of water-absorbing materials 14, 15 in sheet form are covered with moisture-permeable waterproof fabrics 16, 17. A gap between the water-absorbing materials 14, 15 and the moisture-permeable waterproof fabrics 16, 17 through which water flows serves as a water passage 18. A drain port enabling detection of water reaching the lower end of the flap portion is also provided.　The water-absorbing materials are disposed so as to clear a head peripheral size adjustment portion and a boundary/connection portion between the cap body and the flap portion. A connection water passage 23 of the water-absorbing materials is connected by a sheath pipe system constituted of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabrics. Thus, a structure enabling simplification of the assembly of the cap is provided.

Water absorbing material provided in a planar shape over the substantially entire surface of a front side surface of cooling clothing is layered with an intermediate cloth having air permeability and a waterproof material or sheet, which is waterproof, to be sandwiched and wrapped therewith. By sewing or by sealing and joining the intermediate cloth and waterproof cloth or sheet, waterproof water dividers having length in the horizontal direction are provided at a suitable inclined angle of locations. Water that is inserted from a water inlet in the upper part of the cooling clothing by a PET bottle or the like flows toward the lower part of the cooling clothing between the surface of the water absorbing material and the waterproof cloth, meandering left and right continuously or in a stepwise shape, and making a puddles arise like terraces in prescribed locations here and there.

[Problem] To provide cooling clothing having a good cooling effect in which water can be resupplied to water absorbing material for cooling a human body with the heat of evaporation while being continually worn even during outside work under the boiling sun of midsummer and in a high temperature environments such as the proximity of an incinerating furnace and firefighting work. Also, to provide a wearable implement such as a similar cooling cover that cools the head and the like. [Solution] Water absorbing material (11) provided in a planar shape over the substantially entire surface of a front side surface of cooling clothing (10) is layered with an intermediate cloth (12) having air permeability and a waterproof material or sheet (13), which is waterproof, so as to be sandwiched and wrapped therewith. By sewing or by sealing and joining the intermediate cloth (12) and waterproof cloth or sheet (13), waterproof water dividers (16) having length in the horizontal direction are provided at a suitable inclined angle in a plurality of locations. Water that is inserted from a water inlet (14) in the upper part of the cooling clothing by a PET bottle (15) or the like flows toward the lower part of the cooling clothing (10) between the surface of the water absorbing material (11) and the waterproof cloth (13), meandering left and right continuously or in a stepwise shape, and making a plurality of puddles (17) arise like terraces in prescribed locations here and there. Moisture widely infiltrates and is absorbed in the direction of the surface above the puddles by the capillary effect of the water and the water absorbing material (11) itself. Thus, the water disperses over the entire surface of the water absorbing material (11), and water is absorbed and held uniformly so that cooling clothing that widely cools the upper half of the body by the heat of evaporation is obtained. In addition, the intermediate cloth (12) and the waterproof cloth or sheet (13) are constituted of the same waterproof and moisture transmitting cloth and cooling clothing that obtains the same cooling effect as described previously is obtained. In addition, wearable implements such as cooling covers which are worn on helmets and the like and in which water absorbing material is similarly sandwiched by an outside cover part (132) and an inside cover part (133) of water proof and moisture transmitting cloth are also obtained.
