Solar Powered Cooling Pith Helmet: Keeps your head cool on those safari and beach trips

We have to be a bit skeptical  about this but nevertheless we have to say it's a cool idea, because it beats an 'average' safari pith helmet 100 times to one.  With four small & compact solar panels on the top of the hat that powers a small fan to keep you cool at a beach, safari or any other outdoor place, this hat is definitely going to get some attention, while keeping you cool.

The hat also has battery backup for cloudy days and evening with two AA batteries and can be switched between solar and battery with a flip of a switch. It's available for US$ 49.95 from here

Now, why didn't any one else think of this before?
