Finding yourself suddenly without power can be a big inconvenience, especially because we rely on our phones for communication, navigation and photos. Having a back-up power source is invaluable. But what if the backup power source was literally on the top of your head? The EcoFlow Power Hat, a solar-charging sun hat, is on sale at Amazon for $40 off when you clip the on-page coupon. That brings the price down from $129 to just $89. And at this price, it makes a unique gift for that outdoors-person in your life.
EcoFlow is a trusted solar brand, frequenting our list of best portable power stations. The company’s unique hat brings you solar charging on the go. It gives you 360-degrees of coverage to protect your face from the sun’s rays and has a wide brim and with UPF 50+ fabric. The built-in solar panel is surprisingly lightweight at just one-eighth the thickness of conventional solar panels. The hat even folds up into a backpack or purse for easy storage.
