High-Tech Hijab to make Muslim women cooler and comfortable

Finally!!! An hijab you can wear come rain come sunshine. A crowdsourced hijab line has been launched and developed by Veil with the latest in fabric technology.

Ahmad Ghanem, the 22-year old behind Veil, told BuzzFeed his product is the world’s first climate-adaptive hijab and keeps wearers 7-10 degrees Fahrenheight cooler than a standard hijab, which can be uncomfortable on hot days.

Ghanem also noted he got pointers from his friends who wear hijab on the fabrics and styling that would make the Cool Dry a versatile, comfortable project.

The Cool Dry was designed for “lifestyle and comfort,” but can be used for athletic wear with its sweat-wicking and climate adaptive properties.

It can also be used as a scarf and currently comes in black, Silver Lake blue, and bright white.

It’s not the first hijab to be water-repellant, but it’s good at that too.

Ghanem said, “I want to continue to innovate, revolutionize, and change the way people see the hijab. These women are the strongest and streadfast, and they deserve everything. The hate and verbal abuse many of them receive is wrong and unfair, and I hope my brand can inspire them to go out and become what they want to be.”
