Overview

A wide-brim sun hat with two small solar-powered fans built into the front brim, aimed at anglers, hikers, and anyone working outside in the heat. Made from moisture-wicking 85% polyester with a water-repellent finish and a mesh top panel for airflow.

The two fans sit on the brim and run on solar power, so there's no battery to charge, though output depends on direct sunlight rather than a fixed fan speed. The moisture-wicking sweatband and mesh crown handle breathability from the fabric side, while the fans add a layer of cooling on top of that. No independent data is available on fan runtime or the cooling difference in shade.

  • Wide brim for sun coverage
  • Two solar-powered mini fans on the brim
  • 85% polyester moisture-wicking build
  • Suited to fishing, hiking, and other outdoor tasks

Who it's for

Suited to people who spend hours outdoors in bright sun, such as anglers, gardeners, or cyclists, who want extra airflow on the brim without wiring or charging anything. Less useful for shaded or indoor activities where the solar fans have nothing to draw power from.

Performance notes

Cooling comes from two sources working together, the moisture-wicking polyester and mesh top pull sweat and heat away from the fabric, while the solar fans on the brim add moving air across the face. Because the fans are solar powered rather than battery powered, their speed follows how much direct sunlight reaches the panel, so output will vary between full sun and overcast or shaded conditions.
