Nayrrenrag Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Playing in Florida and sweating profusely has left me having to wash my hats after every round. Any suggestions on hats that won’t show sweat or products to lower sweat stains? I know Melin has a bit of a cult following but wanted to get other ideas before possibly shelling out $70. Any and all ideas are welcome! anotherburntsteak 1 Quote WITB: Driver: Stock Cobra F6 3W/5W: King Cobra (circa 1994 ) Utility: Cobra Forged Tec 3 Iron & 4 Iron Hybrid: 3/4H Cobra Rad One Length Irons: Cobra SpeedZone One Length (G-5i) Wedge: Cobra PUR 60 deg.

Middler Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Never had that problem so I haven’t tried them but FWIW search (golf) hat sweat liners - lots of choices from a couple bucks to next to nothing per. And of course medium to dark hats don’t show sweat stains like white hats do (until they dry?).

If you are sweating that much, I think it's just more hygienic to do a quick wash... I just grab them by the bill, tunk them 5 times in soapy water, rinse and hang. Takes 3 minutes max. And with such temperatures, they'll be dry by the following day.

Headhammer Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 If you find one let me know! When I was younger my much older BIL used to say "how is it 90* out here and I'm drenched and you don't have a drop of sweat on you?" Now that I'm his age, I sweat profusely on the range and during a round, to the point I ring my hats out when I get done! So far I have never found a hat that doesn't get sweat stains all over them. Again, If you find one, I'll buy 10 of them!

Kenny B Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 It's so hot and dry here that I sweat and it evaporates quickly. Stains do happen though, but hey aren't so bad when I keep my hat wet all day. I soak it at the clubhouse before the 1st tee, and then again at each water jug on the course... tees on #5, 8, 13, and 16. The icy water feels good on our 100+ degree days. The hat is almost dry before the next water jug. MattF and Nayrrenrag 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment

RollingGreens Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Imperial hats are very good quality. I also like to generic titleist hats. The white and gray are really easy to clean.

Pandaman Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Check out some of the Tilley offerings. Not all fabrics will do what you want though. I have one I love, the brim keeps the sun off my ears and the rain off my neck. Quote Link to comment

And of course medium to dark hats don’t show sweat stains like white hats do (until they dry?). These work well in drier climates, or in temperatures where you're only sweating a little. I use them in all of my hats here in Colorado. However, I just got back from a trip to the MS Gulf Coast where it was 100+ and very humid. It was completely saturated with sweat within minutes, was uncomfortable to wear, and fell out eventually because it was so heavy. Unless you want to change them out every few minutes, I wouldn't recommend them in Florida.

scott80109 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I'd probably try a fishing hat from Costa or Huk. Maybe the straw hats with wide brims. They keep you cooler with the extra shade they provide, are generally pretty breathable, and the straw won't really absorb sweat or show stains.

Angry Birdies Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) If you are looking for a sun protection hat - I just got the Imperial Old Norse.
