Next time our beloved Koeberg Power plant goes down (grrr…), and I have to leave Camps Bay beach to go to a small server room with no aircon, I’m going to have one of these hats ready.

“With cooling abilities far beyond the average sun-shading hat, this is the safari-grade helmet that harnesses the rays of the sun to power a miniature fan that keeps you comfortably cool while at the beach, on a hike, gardening, cheering a sporting event, or any other outdoor activity. The hat has a whisper-quiet motor powered by four compact solar panels on top. In the evening, or on a cloudy day, the fan is powered by two AA batteries (not included). As lighting conditions change, you can easily switch between solar and battery operation with a flip of a switch.”

How trendy is its design?
