Vital-Tracking Fitness Hats

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 2XU LifeBEAM Smart Hat is a Wearable Fitness Accessory

— November 6, 2020 — Fashion
Most consumers are familiar with wrist-worn fitness devices, but the 2XU LifeBEAM Smart Hat aims to offer something a little more unique. Known as The Tracking Hat, this wearable fitness accessory can accurately monitor one's vitals, similar to the way a smart watch or chest strap does.

Whether playing a team spot, running a marathon, or enjoying a leisurely walk, this hat can inform the wearer of their heart rate, steps and calories. What's interesting about the brand is that LifeBeam's technology was initially used to monitor the vitals of pilots and astronauts, promising the consumer a meaningful and highly accurate translation.

The hat can connect to any smart phone device and is compatible with other fitness devices.
