Vollebak’s Solar Charged Hat
Vollebak, the pioneering brand at the intersection of fashion and technology, has unwrapped a groundbreaking addition to its collection just in time for the holidays—the Solar Charged Hat. This luminescent headpiece, a sibling to their solar-charged jacket, takes fashion to new heights by harnessing the power of light.
Crafted from a highly reactive material, the Solar Charged Hat boasts a three-layered design that combines water and wind resistance with comfort. Featuring an ultra-soft fleece lining and insulation, the hat is equipped with adjustable storm flaps reinforced with Cordura panels for added durability.
The magic happens in the second layer, where an ultra-thin membrane, housing a phosphorescent compound, is seamlessly integrated just below the hat’s outer surface. This compound allows the hat to absorb light and emit a radiant glow in the dark, akin to a plant absorbing sunlight. Importantly, the phosphorescence is part of the fabric itself, ensuring it remains vibrant and durable, resistant to washing or rubbing off.
Beyond its whimsical features, the Solar Charged Hat serves a practical purpose. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts or those venturing into the unknown, the hat’s glow-in-the-dark capabilities make it a beacon in the night. If the wearer finds themselves lost in the woods without a light source, the hat’s luminosity becomes a lifesaver, easily visible and trackable from a distance or above.
Charging the Solar Charged Hat during the day is key to unlocking its full potential. The brighter and longer the exposure to light, the more energy the hat absorbs, resulting in a prolonged and vibrant glow that can last up to 12 hours. The hat undergoes a captivating transformation, shifting from a radioactive-looking green to a ghostly green as it gradually fades.
The Solar Charged Hat joins Vollebak’s Solar Charged collection, which includes the previously launched Solar Charged Puffer and Jacket, now available in a sleek white edition. As technology and fashion seamlessly converge, Vollebak continues to redefine the boundaries of wearable innovation, offering consumers a glimpse into a future where clothing not only protects and comforts but also illuminates the world around them.
