I bought this for my dads Christmas, picking what I thought was a really nice bright warm pumpkiny orange but not day-glow, because looking through the options I thought it would be a fun colour but not so bright that he would feel like a Belisha beacon.
When it arrived it was definitely fun, but it was also neon orange, I didn’t even get it out of the box or switch on the light! You wouldn’t have needed too it was so bright! Before getting it out the box I also knew it was not the colour for my dad, he can be picky and I was looking for something really warm for him, and the knit seemed quite thin and shiny, so knowing what the recipient likes, I chose to return it and buy a different thicker hat for me elsewhere.
Genuinely, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this product, and since I didn’t open the sealed bag it was in, as I knew I was going to return it, I can’t say whether the light would be good or not, but it was similar if not identical to the replacement, so I can only assume it would be pretty bright. Also can’t comment on the texture/knit as again, I didn’t take it out the bag, but through it and from the knits gauge, it felt like quite a thin hat, which for some might be great and what they’re looking for.
All I can say for sure is if you choose the orange hat, be aware that it is neon, hi-vis orange and that isn’t for everyone, especially when you’re walking around with a light on your forehead!
