Harness the Power of the Sun With This EcoFlow Solar Hat While It’s Just $70 for Black Friday

When you’re out and about, ending up in a spot without power can be a massive inconvenience. We rely on our phones for communication, navigation and photos, which makes them pretty essential tools wherever we go. Having a backup power source can help, but if you’re out fishing, hiking or even laying out at the beach, you won’t want to carry extra chargers around. That’s where the EcoFlow power hat comes in. It has a solar panel you wear right on top of your head, and it’s on sale for just $70 at Best Buy right now. This could make for an affordable, unique gift for that outdoorsy person in your life, but act fast — this deal expires tonight.

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, has a wide brim and UPF 50-plus fabric. Plus, at just one-eighth the thickness of conventional solar panels, the built-in solar panel is surprisingly lightweight. The hat even folds up into a backpack or purse for easy storage.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

The panel features both USB-A and USB-C ports, so you can charge two devices at the same time. It will fully charge a mobile phone in 3 to 4 hours. With this, you’ll never miss that perfect nature shot or a photo of the kids at outdoor events, because you can keep your device charged and at the ready.

Why this deal matters

For avid hikers, fishing enthusiasts or beachgoers, this hat lets you embrace the sun’s rays while staying active — or relaxing in a chair — all while providing smart sun protection. It’s down to just $70; that’s almost $10 less than the price at Amazon right now and the lowest price we’ve seen it go for.
