Perfect for the night yard

I bought this specifically for when I forget to take the litter outside during the day and don't want to step on dog gifts. It's absolutely perfect, I tilt my head forward a bit and get a cone of light right where I need it. I ordered spare batteries based on other reviews that mentioned battery life. They're not very expensive and I didn't have time to talk about battery life, but it looks like swapping out will be quick and easy.

Pros
  • Velcro
Cons
  • Crumpled Wrap

Could be much better and more convenient

Everything is fine. Not even close to the beanie hat I also bought and used. This cap is narrow and difficult to plan. I survived wearing it because I really needed some light in some dark hallways. The lights are bright and do the job well, but really 3 settings is way too many. Sometimes it's just better. Maybe a focused direct light and then a second general brightness adjustment. It's just that the beam is way further in front of me than I'd like and it fits, uh, I feel like I'm breaking a…

Pros
  • Panther Vision Warranty and Support POWERCAP Limited Lifetime Warranty
Cons
  • Nothing

Lamp placement is very problematic

Initially I was just unhappy with how bright/how far you can get with it can be seen when running after dark; then I discovered that the product is actually downright dangerous. I run with my dog and often look down at him (or scan the ground for cracks, curbs, sticks, etc - a normal part of being a runner). Well, if you raise your eyes again to look ahead, you'll find yourself completely blinded by the dim light. I bought this for safety reasons and it ended up scaring me as my vision became…

Pros
  • Visibility up to 13m (42ft) Battery life up to 43 hours Comfortable, easy to use and washable design Built for long term use
Cons
  • Modern

Great hat, very useful for night walks! The cap has three settings: light directed towards your feet, light directed further, and a combination of two settings for maximum illumination. I usually have lights under my feet so I know where I'm going, but the second setting is also very useful when the dogs are running in front of me. The cap seems to be well made, I haven't had any problems for over a year. The battery had to be replaced once a year, which isn't too bad considering how much I use

Pros
  • Imported
Cons
  • Other Other

This is my second garment from this company. The first came in a small box with caps donated to a recycling store. I had it for a few years before running out of caps where I tried it on and found weird lumps that turned out to be lightbulbs and a switch. Worked great in low light and I decided to find a replacement if my Doberman decided he liked it better. Eventually, the brand hunted elsewhere and, using the exact words, found a new black at Revain. The new one is significantly brighter in…

Pros
  • 100% brushed and washed cotton textured twill with 2-part hook and loop closure
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Great and creative product.

A must for electronics fans, hobbyists, campers, etc. I'm deducting one star because the brightness quickly decreases after a short time. However, it maintains this lower brightness long before the batteries need to be replaced. I don't know if this is a function of the batteries themselves or a design flaw in the unit's circuitry. Maybe they should have designed it to use a different battery and keep the LEDs as bright as possible until the batteries were almost dead. Besides dimming too…

Pros
  • 100% cotton
Cons
  • Compatibility

Cap with discreet headlights, cool!

I've been using powercap bulbs in different colors for over 20 years 10 years since I first saw her at Lowes. When they get dirty from sweat and dirt and stink, I replace them. Of course they can be washed, but I've found that thin wires often break when washed or dried. I recommend using the Ballcap Buddy in the washing machine and then air drying to minimize damage. I often keep an old one in the trunk of my car just in case, or give it to someone who doesn't mind second hand stuff. I have…

Pros
  • Gives you the ability to see in the dark with an ultra-bright dual-action LED headlight system that illuminates both low and high beams
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
