8 Reasons Why The Fairway Sunhat Is The Ultimate Outdoor Hat For Hiking, Golfing, and Traveling

I wouldn’t normally use this space to evangelize the features and benefits of a hat, but the Fairway Sunhat really does warrant that kind of an exception. Most hats serve just two purposes, and one of them is optional – providing shade, and looking fashionable. The Fairway Sunhat comes with the kind of engineering that also allows it to boast of additional features like being lightweight, bendable, yet somehow also highly wind-resistant, machine-washable, yet also waterproof, and coming with unusually useful features like having dedicated areas to stash sunglasses and cards, a foldable (and detachable) sun cape, and also cutouts to let your ponytail out through (that’s 8, just in case you weren’t counting!) You could wear the Fairway Sunhat to the desert as well as through a minor hurricane. It’s light enough to perpetually sit on your head, but should you choose, it also has the ability to be tightly folded away and put in your pocket without worrying about it losing shape. Whether you’re golfing, trekking, boating, gardening, or just traveling a foreign country, the Fairway Sunhat rather handily outshines all other hats… while cutting the shine from the harsh mid-day sun!

The Fairway is the (lightweight) Champion of wind-resistant sunhats.

Rain is not a problem for the Fairway.

Fold it up, and pack it in a golf bag, purse, day pack, tool box, lunch box or tackle box.

The Fairway Sunhat quite literally dons multiple hats with its myriad of features. Aside from the obvious 360° sun-blocking brim that surrounds the hat, the Fairway’s also designed to withstand rain as well as resist hard wind without the brim sagging down or blowing up. It does all this while being Shapeflexer’s (the company behind the Fairway) lightest hat ever, thanks to a thinner, tougher foam that’s used in the hat’s brim and a thinner yet durable new wire in the brim’s edge. Armed with a chin-strap that lets you secure the hat around your noggin, the Fairway can easily take on wind-speeds of 65mph (105kmh) without the brim folding or inverting like a weak umbrella. The foam doesn’t just make the Fairway Sunhat lightweight, it actually allows the hat to float on water too – a feature exceptionally useful if you’re caught on a windy day in your boat having forgotten to put the chin strap on.

Great for all fast-movement activities like tennis and jogging.

Bend the back brim up as little or as much as you’d like to clear your backpack.

Carrying around a hat as large as the Fairway can sometimes be challenging, but the proprietary foam lining in the Fairway’s brim allows it to be deformed, folded, or crushed without it losing its shape. The shape-memory property of the hat means you can stash it in your suitcase, backpack, or even the pocket of your cargo pants and take it out just when you need it and it’s as good as new. Cinch it with the chin strap or just have the chin strap hanging at the back of the brim instead. The hat just cooperates with you, unlike other hats that either end up compromising on portability or on having a defined shape. Moreover, a ‘ponytail gate’ built into the hat’s design lets you conveniently route a ponytail from inside the hat rather than having to wear it with your hair open or in a bun.

The deployable neck cape is a must.

Secure your sunglasses with the back bungee sizing cord.

Of course, a ponytail isn’t all you’d carry with you, which is why the Fairway’s design also conveniently accounts for other ‘accessories’ like your sunglasses, which secure around a cord at the back for easy access… as well as cards, which fit inside a nifty sleeve on the underside of the hat’s brim. Conversely, the card pocket also lets you store the Fairway’s detachable neck cape instead. The cape is an absolute essential for harsh sunny days, helping prevent a sunburnt neck from spending too much time out during the day. Pop the neck cape out and it hooks to the inside of your hat, staying secured to your Fairway Sunhat even when you take the hat off. Don’t want the neck cape, either tuck it back into its pocket or detach it completely and stash it in a pocket in your pants or leave it at home.

Enjoy this world without UV rays.

The Fairway Sunhat comes from Shapeflexer, a company that’s pretty much devoted itself to the art of perfecting hats. After two successful Kickstarter campaigns, they’re back with what they claim is by far the best hat they’ve ever made. That might sound hyperbolic but on paper, the Fairway is stronger, more flexible, lighter, and more versatile than any of Shapeflexer’s hats. The Fairway Sunhat comes in three sizes that fit all kinds of heads from Small to XXXL, with as many as 10 colors to choose from. Each hat is also designed to be washing-machine and dryer friendly, allowing you to keep your hat as well as your head fresh when you’re outdoors, whether it’s hiking a mountain, playing a round of golf, touring a country, fishing on a lake, going on a cruise, or just sitting outdoors with a beer in one hand and gardening tools in the other!

Bluetooth Speaker Beanie Hat with Headlamp


It’s kinda genius. Listen to music, take calls, and actually see what the heck you’re doing at the same time while not looking like a total dork wearing a headlamp in a non-camping situation? Winner. The Bluetooth Beanie Hat comes in 8 striking colors, ok some aren’t striking, maybe none of them are striking actually, but there’s 8 colors. It has both speakers and a microphone built in so you can actually have a full on conversation while you’re running, walking, or doing anything else. Or just listen to music. With volume controls right on the side of the hat. All while keep your head warm with a winter hat. Winter is coming as the kids say.

Now there’s other bluetooth beanies out there, but what sets this one apart is the LED headlamp. Sure, you look a little bit like a Minion, but not 100% like one unless you get the yellow one like the person above. And maybe that’s a good thing. The utility outweighs the style here. It’s not that bad in reality. The light is of course rechargeable, via USB. We recommend taking the hat off before charging, but you do you. No wrong way as long as you make it work people. The hat’s made of acrylic and is one size fits most. Not sure what constitutes “most”, 50% maybe? Anyone know? Anyone care? Makes a great gift, stocking stuffer, or fashion statement for dog walkers. Or all 3 at once. Hat.

This AR visor cap concept looks like an acceptable middle ground

Given today’s limitations in technology and manufacturing, AR glasses similar to Tony Stark’s are still a matter of science fiction. We are getting closer to that ideal, but it’s impossible to jump forward into the future without leaving the present behind without a solution. AR headsets today, even those that should leave you free to experience the world around you, are still bulky and uncomfortable to wear, which means they are less likely to be embraced by the people who should be using them. There is, of course, no shortage of ideas on how to address that problem while waiting for the perfect pair of augmented glasses, and one, in particular, seems to take inspiration from a more familiar visor cap.

Designers: Cheolhee Lee, Junsik Oh, Soyoung Lee

Even the lightest AR headset feels like you’re donning a piece of armor like a helmet, preparing to jump into battle. The ones that do try to make you look and feel like a bee or someone wearing military-grade night-vision goggles. In both cases, the hardware makes no effort to hide that it’s pushing a screen in your face, getting in the way of the rest of your vision. Not a problem when you’re leisurely enjoying the Metaverse, but a dangerous situation to be in when you’re walking around a factory.

The TNTN AR headset, in contrast, is designed with industrial work environments in mind. It looks more like a sun visor or visor cap, and to some extent, it wears like one as well. It wraps around your head like other AR headsets but sits slightly higher than most. Most importantly, however, the heads-up display doesn’t completely block the wearer’s line of sight and occupies only a small portion of their vision.

To some extent, this AR headset is really designed to only augment reality rather than replace it, adding information that only appears near the top of one’s field of view. This allows wearers to be more aware of their surroundings, which could be critical in applications where AR is already in use today, particularly in industrial fields.

The TNTN is specifically designed for comfort and usability, though all AR headsets will probably claim to be similar. Similar to a visor cap, the strap extends and retracts, though it’s probably made of more durable material than rubber. This allows the headset to fit any head and can even fit around safety helmets.

Despite being designed for industrial workers, it’s not difficult to see the TNTN being used in other fields as well, especially where awareness of the real world is just as important as seeing the virtual overlays, such as in operating rooms. The flexibility of the headset’s design also means that wearers won’t have to sacrifice their safety or even their style. The TNTN AR headset definitely looks like an acceptable compromise until we finally get our stylish Ray-ban AR glasses.

Bowler Hat Wall Sconces: Head Lights

Do you know what your home has been missing? Bowler hat wall sconces. It’s kind of hard to believe you’ve gone this long without them. Thankfully, LDLED has you covered with these 12W bowler-inspired sconces (affiliate link). I can’t see a bowler hat without thinking of René Magritte’s iconic painting The Son Of Man. But that’s just me, and I’m cultured. Like a pearl, except I’m terrified of the ocean and don’t even like dipping my toes in it.

The bowler hat wall sconces are available in black or white and either cool or warm-colored LEDs. The hats have to be hard-wired directly to a home’s existing electrical system though, meaning they’re NOT battery powered. That’s a shame because electricity and I don’t get along.

How many are you buying? I just bought one for every room in my apartment, which is one. It’s a studio. I guess I could technically count the bathroom as a second room, but it doesn’t actually have a door, just a curtain. This may explain why I’ve never had any friends come to more than one of my apartment parties.
