Devo Adult Red Whip It Dome Hat

Great item.

Prompt service on the part of the seller and I love my energy dome. Why it took me over 20 years to invest a modest $30 for one of the best material possessions I've ever owned, I don't know, but my life is complete now. DEVO is (are?) my all-time favorite band since I heard Freedom of Choice as a high school freshman, as if I wasn't dorky enough. Because of DEVO, I wore swim goggles to math class. Here we are, 22 years later, and I've never even SEEN an energy dome, much less TOUCHED one, much less WORN one. It looks and fits exactly as expected, but I maintain that's it's marketed to look like a more precise replica of the original album-cover Energy Dome which I swear had, like, a 1/4" larger circumference to Energy Domes seen anywhere ever since. I've been walking 'round the house in it. Just watching TV and trying on outfits. Like another reviewer said, this thing is a bad-ass lamp shade too. I'm gonna engineer a "head light" that 'Dome sits on full time, or between nights of dress-up-and-sing-a-along, anyway. VERY subtle lines around key rub-zones indicate these things are mass-produced and stacked together, so if there are any Energy-Dome manufacturers in the house tonight, might I suggest something as simple as a piece of tissue paper between each dome? This modest investment in production cost and labor would go a LONG way towards product integrity and presentation. Don't even get me started on the hole in the back for the unnecessarily transparent tag. We assume your production is licensed because you're doing it full-time on Amazon! But that's for the manufacturers. The Energy Dome seller/deliverer performed their function expertly. I will undoubtedly order four more.

I was super excited to wear this with my boyfriend for Halloween since we’re both big fans but for $40 a piece I’m honestly disappointed. There’s nothing inside of the dome to keep it on your head or sturdy. It’s just molded red plastic and nothin’ else. It fell off of my boyfriends head and has a rather large crack now. Frustrating since it was the first time he’s worn it.

I had one of these in the 80's, and this is exactly the same as the original. The plastic is thick enough to be durable without cracking, and it looks authentic. The problem with it, just like the original one, is that it has no liner so it's up to you to figure out a way to make it stay on top of your head without just falling off every time you move. This time, for $12 more I bought a 4 point hard hat suspension (MSA 468096 Staz-On) and duct-taped it inside. It worked perfectly! I even went to a dance and it stayed right in place.

Good quality and made it easy to become Devo.

Looks great but there is no liner or headband inside to actually keep in on your head. My son is a drummer and wanted to wear it while he played a ‘whip it’ cover. I had to jury rig a head band out of foam padding to make it work. Be forewarned

As far as hats goes, this ISN'T. It's like a lamp shade! However, it fits your head! And you put it on, you want to whip it. Whip it good. ;)

Grandson wanted this for an 80’s theme event. He loves it! Wore it to school on the last day this year.
