Lighted hats

[nightfighter]

Seen them, never had one. Any feedback? Could definitely see having one for work and fishing. Was looking at this one;

Wondering if any sponsors carry something similar.....

Bet the lights half way up make a newmoon retie much easier.

We had one of those Pilot hat Lights at the Salt Water Edge. I thought it had real applications - especially for non submersive fishing like sand beach fishing and nighttime largemouth in freshwater. They were very easy to use. I do remember thinking they might not hold up for wetsuit and very wet surfcasting/ wading.

Pros:

Ease of use
Access
Cons:

Poor adjustability
Easily lost

I still think the neck light / Headlamp are better - particularly with a soft red light option

I have 1 I picked up at Cabelas, green light, like it a lot,only came in camo.

Or the company is going out of business next year....which makes a lifetime warranty worth bupkiss.....lifetime warranty is only good for the lifetime of the company giving it to you

[MAKAI]

Or the death till we part lifetime warranty.
That ain't a lock either.

I'd be concerned about any moisture issues in the cap.
Red head lamp w a backup neck light keeps me covered.

I got an llbean one just like that one for christmas one year, it works well but its a white light and I want red. I had my wife paint the lights with red nail polish, but it seemed to only dim the light and not really make it red...

I think the cap clip light is the way to go, I used to have a nice red one that I used for a couple of years then the clip broke, thinking about getting another one.
here is what I'm talking about: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cyclo...ck/1089659.uts

I still swear by my Energizer red/white neck/head lamp. 4th year in the surf and boat and other than new batteries, no issues what so ever.

Thats the same one I use.....like the fact I can just flip the switch in one direction to get the red light.

although I don't pay $47 for it....:yikes:

I get them at walmart for $15

[Rockport24]

yeah i have that same one as well... it works, but I like to have my hat one and sometimes the bill gets in the way of the light ya know?

[Hookedagain]

These are decent, my wife got one for my son at a trade show for promotional products. He loves it and I use it often while hunting. She only got one but said she could have brought home a case of them but didn't thing I would give up the head lamp. Sometimes she just doesn't get it, but she is a keeper just the same.

i' m thinkin of buyin a clamp light
i have lots of hats already

[Finaddict]

Ross - I have an LL Bean one that I received as a gift but will never use, if you want it ... it's yours ... actually used it to dig something out of a closet ... but it's just lying around if you want to give it a try

[wdmso]

My son bought me one for Xmas I use the hat light for knots and close in stuff and its not a bad looking hat . and a headlamp with it when I need to see where my lines going

PS I never forget a Hat but cant say that about my headlamp
