i have never liked a light on the hat because it seems the cord is always pulling on the hat and of course every time the cord hangs in a tree limb it pulls your hat off your head
... i never really liked a bump cap because of the weight and it seems to me the bump cap will freeze you to death in real cold weather so when i do use the light on a hat i use the old style soft cap in cold weather only ... i wear it safety pinned on top of a toboggan so it does not ride down on my face like the other folks talked about ... i never wear a light on my hat in warmer weather ... i leave the head clipped to the front of the battery and i pick up the head and use the head in my hand like shining a flashlight while walking or shining a tree ... the new style soft hat looks like it would work better because it is not as deep as the old style ... there is not as much hat there to ride down on your face ...
