We're excited to announce that, as of today, Recover has officially assumed all managerial and oversight responsibilities for Headsweats, an innovator in performance headwear since 1998.

Each brand will continue to operate independently, maintain their own unique brand identities, and have a focus on greater complementary efforts, products, and operational efficiencies. 

By bringing together Recover’s commitment to sustainability and Headsweats’ expertise in innovative performance-driven headwear, this move is focused on better supporting both customer bases and further positioning the two brands as leaders in the athletic apparel and headwear market.
