The ball cap has spent its whole career keeping sun out of people’s eyes, and it has done admirable work. It seems only fair that it should finally be put to work after the sun goes down.
This POWERCAP from Panther Vision builds a four-LED system into a classic structured cap of cotton twill. Two kinds of illumination share the duty: close-up task lighting for the bolt under the sink or the knot on a fishing line, and a longer reach that shows the path up to 42 feet ahead. With 48 lumens on hand, a late walk with the dog, a campsite after dark, or the back of a deep closet all look a good deal friendlier.
Four CR2032 batteries come included and run up to 43 hours before they need replacing. A two-piece hook-and-loop strap adjusts the fit, and you can choose navy for everyday wear or Mossy Oak camo for the woods. The cap is also washable, a courtesy few flashlights have ever extended.
