Guttered if you had a long-ish fringe and it got caught in the fan...then you'd really look like a douche bag!

You can buy them here in a slightly more stylish package:

Compared to the one above.

good idea... maybe someone really love this if he/she is brave enough to let the annoying wind blowing straight on face and the rotating blade just in front of ur eyes.
Maybe a solar powered refrigerator as well?

I think that this thing makes you a lot of friends when it's over 40 degrees outside. (That's Celsius for you non-standard Americans)

@ avester
If it's ever over 104 Fahrenheit (assuming my math is correct) outside I will need more than this funny looking hat. You'r correct, living in Florida I can say on the right day you can make a lot of friends. I've seen a number of times that the people with those spray bottle fans are all of sudden the people to be around and I can't imagine what this hat-fan will do for your social status!

At least it will make peados more obvious.

15/f/seattle couldn't help but notice your solar mini clip

Gosh Negative Nancies... How 'bout we post about a gadget you actually LIKE now...
Paulmichael @ Jul 26th 2008 4:22AM
Perhaps they can add this to that game controller that sports a detachable mini-steering wheel.

Frankly, this is a way cool idea. While traipsing around some gargantuan amusement park in Florida my daughter used something like this:

to keep herself cool - worked great but weighed a ton AND ate batteries.
A little solar-powered fan might just have done the trick.
bartoron @ Jul 26th 2008 7:42AM
Oh man, I haven't seen a Squeeze Breeze is a long time. Back in 2nd grade everyone had one of those out on the playground when it was really hot. Good times, good times.
Steffen Jobbs @ Jul 26th 2008 8:00AM
NERD ALERT! This fan should go quite well with your penny loafers, argyle socks and "Welcome to the Social" T-shirt.
fastharry @ Jul 26th 2008 9:07AM
how about not wearing a hat, so the heat escapes out your coconut, and you don't need another useless POS to clog up your junk drawer
Miguel @ Jul 26th 2008 1:28PM
Because if I were any whiter I'd be albino and the visor is great for shading my face?
And, oh, my eyes so I can see clearly.
I appreciate a good hat.
Charly @ Jul 26th 2008 9:44AM
Stuff like this has been around for at least 20 years or so. I saw other kids wearing this kind of stuff while in primary school!
Looked like this: http://www.sunpower-solar.de/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/3037a99274d7f74e3ed16733f0725690.jpg
Sure, it wasn't a "mini clip fan", but the rest is the same.
Denny Bob @ Jul 26th 2008 9:47AM
I guarantee that if you hand these out to women at the Austin City Limits Music festival in September you will indeed get laid. If they make one 10 times bigger I would buy it. We're talking serious heatstroke out there folks.

dollywood rocks!
Bob @ Jul 26th 2008 2:40PM
Indeed.
NoAndThen @ Jul 26th 2008 12:08PM
hey, at least it doesn't use batteries.
Wicker24 @ Jul 26th 2008 12:39PM
Take your shots at what you will Steffen but you leave my socks alone!

Will these contribute to the number of cases of Fan Death in South Korea?
sr1329 @ Jul 26th 2008 2:47PM
Wow Dollywood reference.
kuppendender @ Jul 27th 2008 4:52AM
The place for a solar powered fan is in a tent, not a hat. If they market this as a camping accessory, they'll make a killing.
