Quick take
An insulated beanie with a built-in 75 lumen LED headlamp for hands-free lighting during early morning and night fishing.
This Panther Vision beanie has an LED built into a fleece cap, so you get hands-free light for tying knots, rigging rods or walking to the water before sunrise. It offers three brightness settings, with a high mode of 75 lumens, and the Real Tree Edge camo pattern suits outdoor use. It weighs about 0.18 pounds and fits as a one-size cap, so it is easy to keep in a tackle bag for early starts and late evenings.
