There's a lot of glow-in-the-dark apparel out there but while some focus on creating skeletal outlines of the wearer or flickering suits that have the option of concealing the user, this glow-in-the-dark hat does the exact opposite.

Luckily, this illuminating tuque costs about the same as any regular winter hat but it definitely shines brighter than the others. Lighting up in a vibrant green, the glow-in-the dark hat is great for haunting scares, parties and clubbing where dances just want to rock it out on the dance floor. Just like most glow-in-the-dark items, this hat must be charged under any source of bright light prior to using. If you find your glow waning throughout the night, just run to the washroom for a couple of minutes or carry a pocket flashlight.
