The hat features solar panels integrated into the rim, allowing users to charge devices while on the go.
Pre-orders for the EcoFlow Power Hat are available from August 2024, with deliveries expected from mid-September 2024.
The hat comes in two adjustable sizes which both feature an adjustable hook-and-loop design for a snug fit.
