One day when I was rummaging through my wardrobe,I saw a old red baseball cap that I have bought last year. Suddenly and an idea popped into my mind, I could modify this old cap into a cool product named as fan hat, a very special innovation product that I have seen on Amazon.It is a kind of baseball cap that has a mini fan at the front of the brim and uses battery or USB charging to power the hat. Going through this product gave me an idea to make my own fan hat similar to this product.I managed to make a simple fan cooling baseball cap that is perfect for outdoor sport likes golf, hiking. and suitable for traveling, fishing, climbing, gathering at plaza, or even watching a baseball game and other outdoor activities. The cap is not only great for the summer, it is also convenient to use and cool to wear. Lets get started! HERE'S my link of inspiration: Summer fan cooling baseball cap.
