We go to Disney World every single day, and we love testing out all sorts of products and essentials that might make our — and your — trips easier, even if it means looking a little silly in the process.
Because, hey, something might look silly but actually be a total game-changer. Out of all of the products we’ve tested out in the parks, this one is definitely one of the ugliest, but we’d also recommend it to pretty much everyone — especially if you’re planning a summer trip to Disney World!
Get this solar-powered fan sun hat!
Okay — we know, we know, this thing looks a little ridiculous. And honestly? It IS ridiculous. This is a solar-powered fan sun hat, and it’s definitely one of the more… unique products we’ve tested out in the parks. But, hey, it works! Essentially, there are two solar-powered fans inserted into the brim of the sun hat that blow air on you while you’re wearing it. You can wear the hat any way you want, so the fans can blow air into your face or onto the back of your neck, depending on what is most helpful to you.
We also love that the fans are detachable and can even be charged via a USB charger, so you can ensure they have enough juice to last all day long. The hat itself is comfortable and breathable, so while it’s providing protection from the sun, the fans are helping to cool you down. Plus, it’s completely hands-free — so you don’t have to carry around a handheld fan all day long. You do need to be a bit careful when moving your head and bending down, as the fans are a bit heavy and can make the hat move or fall off your head, but they’re not so heavy that they’re uncomfortable.
While it’s certainly not the most fashionable item to wear to the parks, it really can make a difference on those seriously hot days. We also love that the fans are removable, so you can wear it as a regular sun hat if you’d like. We’ve seen a TON of people wearing these hats around the parks — especially during the summer — so you certainly won’t be alone in looking like a goofball. We’ll be right there with you!
