Heres what I found out.

Thats because the solar panels are embedded all around the brim of the hat.

Plus, the Power Hat also features an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance.

And I have to admit, it did manage to keep me slightly cool in the shade.

During my testing, I found that the EcoFlow Power Hat delivered upward of 5.5W of power delivery.

But nevertheless, I managed to get my Galaxy S24 Plus to 8% capacity in 30 minutes.

In contrast, it gets to 72% capacity in the same time using a standard 45W USB-C charger.

However, my point is that some power is better than no power at all.

On a separate day, I used it again while doing some lawn work around my home.

And for that single reason, I think the Power Hat is worth considering.
