Who doesn't love new gadgets? Running is something I love to do and when I heard that something called the Convertible HDL was coming out I was intrigued. The Convertible HDL is a headband + skull cap, that includes a headlamp, camera, and microphone. I'm here to share with you info about this innovative product and about PRracer's kickstarter campaign that starts today!

The Convertible HDL is an innovative skull cap and headband combo that helps you run smarter. In warmer weather, it can be worn top down with the cap neatly tucked away as a sweat wicking headband – and when the weather gets cooler, you can simply pull it up and over for extra warmth. 

The Convertible HDL offers three distinct features, each designed with the runner in mind:

• Convertible: This is the lightweight, moisture wicking, fashionable headband that converts to a skull cap. Perfect for any climate, it is the Convertible that is the base of our new technology.
• HD: The camera allows you to capture your run in FHD (1920x1280) or HD (1280x720) format with still photo capability. In addition to video, you can take photos using single shot, burst mode, or time-lapse mode. In addition, the camera carries a GPS, altimeter, and accelerometer to capture all the vital statistics from your run.
• L: The headlamp shines at more than 400 lumens, ensuring your path is clearly lit, during even the darkest runs. This high-powered light also makes it possible to catch clean video during dawn, dusk and nighttime runs - something no wearable camera offers.

All of the tech features - including the video camera, still camera and high-powered light - feature voice activation/recognition and are controlled with an easy-to-use app on your smartphone. Full analysis of your run and real-time data is collected from the on-board GPS and altimeter.

After learning about what the Convertible HDL can do, I'm excited. I think this is such a cool idea! It would be perfect when I do my early morning runs and I really like the idea of it having voice recognition to operate the light and camera. Having the camera to record a run would be pretty awesome as I love taking pictures. It would be such a great thing to have during a race so I won't have to take any time grabbing my phone and snapping pics.

Their kickstarter campaign starts today. Check it out here! There are three levels of pledges for the Convertible HDL: $149, $179, $199. The first two levels are limited quantities, so if you want the best deal, click early!
