Neon Cowboys was founded in 2014 by Asia Hall, a Black & Chinese woman fashion designer, inventor & computer scientist who created the iconic light-up neon cowboy hat. The inspiration came during Stagecoach Music Festival in California when Asia was in college - she wanted to wear a neon bar sign as a hat! Asia holds the utility patent for this invention, combining her love of Western fashion with neon sign aesthetics to create wearable art that makes you glow like a neon bar sign at night.

Our utility patented light up cowboy hats feature 9 feet of continuous light that wraps from the brim to the crown, creating the authentic look of a neon bar sign. Unlike cheap knockoffs, our hats use premium construction with sewn brims and durable polypropylene plastic that's built to last years. Each hat offers 3 light settings (solid, flash, blinking) powered by 2 AA batteries, giving you 8+ hours of continuous glow time.

Many people search for "glow-in-the-dark cowboy hats" when they are actually looking for our light up hats. Here's the key difference:

Light Up Neon Hats (Our Products):

• Instant bright illumination with battery power
• 3 different light modes (solid, flash, blink)
• 8+ hours of continuous bright light
• 9 feet of continuous light wire like a neon sign
• Work in any lighting condition

Traditional Glow-in-the-Dark:

• Phosphorescent materials that absorb UV light then glow dimly
• Usually only green/blue colors that fade quickly
• Need "charging" from light sources like the sun in order to "work"

Our light up cowboy hats provide the bright, colorful glow effect most people want when searching for glowing hats!

Our light up hats run on 2 AA batteries and provide 8+ hours of continuous illumination - perfect for all-night parties, festivals, and concerts. The batteries are easily replaceable, so you can use regular AA batteries for each event or invest in rechargeable AA batteries to use over and over again. We've designed the battery compartment for quick, easy battery swaps.

Yes! Our patented Neon Cowboy hats are water-resistant and designed for outdoor festivals & parties. Unlike fabric or felt versions, our injection-molded polypropylene construction handles rain, sweat, and brief water exposure perfectly, making them ideal for outdoor events like Stagecoach, Coachella, and summer concerts.

The LED lights are completely sealed and the battery compartment is protected inside a battery pack cover which is an additional plastic structure, so you can dance in the rain without worry! The plastic construction also means they won't absorb odors or moisture unlike fabric hats.

Yes! Our hats are constructed from polypropylene plastic (recycling symbol #5), known for its durability and longevity.

As a small business, we focus on creating limited production runs to match demand rather than overproducing, which naturally creates a collector's market where customers can resell rare colors.

The durable construction means your hat will last for years with proper care, and when you're ready to pass it on, there's often a resale market for discontinued colors. Our focus is on creating lasting products that customers treasure rather than disposable fashion.

Our hats are one-size-fits-most (23-inch inner circumference) with included adhesive foam padding. For an even better fit:

• Chin Straps - Keep your hat secure while dancing
• Additional Foam Padding - Perfect for smaller heads (including childrens)
• The foam padding can be cut and removable for custom comfort

• Multi-Year Lifespan - Many customers have hats from our early years still working. Here's a review from a long time customer:
  "I first saw this hat when Ms Musgraves wore it. I knew I had to have it. 2 years later it’s been a festival workhorse. But even more than the great product, the customer service from Neon Cowboys is UNREAL - They gave me advice on how to tuck back in my wires AND bedazzle my hat. I think everyone should handle their business like NC does. Can’t wait for more years with this baby!"
