Overview
A wide-brimmed sun hat with two motorized fans built into the brim, powered by a solar panel or USB charging, rated UPF50+ with a waterproof coating for fishing and other outdoor work.
The fans are the feature that sets this apart from a plain sun hat, running up to 5000 rpm across three speed settings and drawing power from either sunlight or a 3-hour USB charge good for roughly 9 hours of runtime. Reviewers are split on how well the fans hold up: several praise the cooling and the quiet, low vibration, while others found the fans underpowered and prone to sagging the brim in wind.
- Dual brim-mounted fans, up to 5000 rpm, 3 speeds
- Solar or USB charging, up to 9 hours runtime
- UPF50+ rated, waterproof coating
- Breathable mesh panels for airflow
Who it's for
Suits anglers and outdoor workers who want active cooling and sun coverage in one hat, especially for slower-paced activity like mowing, hiking, or fishing. Not a fit for anyone expecting strong wind resistance, since multiple reviewers found the fans flimsy in gusty conditions.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Several reviewers praise the cooling effect and say the fans run quietly with a low, unobtrusive vibration, good enough that some plan to buy more. Others report the fans are not strong, sag the brim due to their weight, and feel flimsy in windy conditions.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Solar or USB powered, up to 9 hours per charge
- Three adjustable fan speeds
- UPF50+ blocks the majority of UV exposure
- Quiet fan operation reviewers describe as barely noticeable
- Fans add weight that sags the brim
- Weak or flimsy performance reported in windy conditions
Performance notes
The dual fans sit in the brim and run on solar power or a USB charge, with three adjustable speeds and a solar mode that runs continuously in daylight. The UPF50+ rated fabric and waterproof coating handle sun and light rain, but the added weight of the fan motors pulls the brim down somewhat, an effect several reviewers noticed in windy conditions.
