Cap with built-in LED flashlight allows you to see and be seen

If you don't like flashlights or can't use one because you're too busy digging a hole to hide an ax or something, you may prefer a device similar to a miner's headgear with built-in headlights. If miner headgears with embedded lights proved to be pretty useful in obscure environments, why don't you let the Head Lite Cap make your night.

The Head Lite Cap is not just an ordinary cap. It comes with a tiny-winy LED flashlight that allows you "to see or to be seen". It also includes a built-in Medical Alert tag to inform medical personnel of your health condition (just in case you faint because you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel).

It's also water and impact resistant. What? Ok, maybe it really is waterproof, but how in the name of T-Rex can this be impact-proof since it features mesh side panels? It may be good for "thoughts" cooling and ventilation, but it's definitely not going to stop fireflies coming down hard on your bonnet. And you don't even know how envious the fireflies will become when they'll check out your cool LED cap.

Although the built-in LED flashlight is not purported to help you find buckets of gold, it will probably make your head stand out from the bald crowd. When I say bald crowd, I'm also including bold or less aggressive drivers that usually check their GPS units and not the road in front of them. For the oncoming cars "issue", it features a reflective trim that is probably going to make your brain case visible enough.

Yours for $24,95. I'll stick with the usual coal miner headgear.
