BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] (a) Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to headwear. More particularly, the present invention relates to headwear having enhanced comfort and convenience by quickly absorbing and dissipating sweat. [0003] (b) Description of the Related Art [0004] Typically, headwear (for example, a cap) includes a crown portion for being worn on a head of a wearer, a visor portion extruding from the crown portion and blocking sunlight, and a band (or a sweatband) combined to the crown portion at its lower interior side so as to absorb sweat. Thus, according to such conventional headwear, the band, which may be elastic, provides a function of absorbing sweat. [0005] Since the band is covered by the crown portion, sweat absorbed by the sweatband may not be easily evaporated and dissipated to an exterior of the headwear, and the sweat tends to remain within a space between crown portion and the head of the wearer. Therefore, in the case of a long or hard exercise that produces a large amount of sweat, such a sweatband may easily reach its maximum sweat-absorbing capacity and may not provide sufficient function of absorbing sweat. [0006] The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The present invention has been made in an effort to provide headwear having advantages of enhanced comfort and convenience by quickly absorbing and dissipating sweat even with a large amount of sweat. [0008] Exemplary headwear according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first crown portion for being worn on a head of a wearer, and a second crown portion combined to a bottom of the first crown portion and providing a sweat absorbing function. [0009] The exemplary headwear may further include a visor portion combined to the first crown portion. [0010] The second crown portion may be formed of a sweat absorbing material. [0011] The second crown portion may include a sweat absorbing member disposed therein. [0012] The first crown portion and the second crown portion may be combined together by a sewing thread. [0013] The first crown portion and the second crown portion may be formed of different materials. [0014] The second crown portion may be formed of an elastic material. [0015] A combining section of the second crown portion may occupy more than approximately half of an entire bottom circumference of the first crown portion. [0016] A height of the second crown portion may be formed to be greatest at its rear end and to be reduced going forward. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0017] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of headwear according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. [0018] FIG. 2 is a bottom side perspective view of the headwear in FIG. 1. [0019] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view along the line A-A of FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS [0020] An embodiment of the present invention will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Continue reading...
