What's Your Go To Hat?


GolfSpy_APH

Recommended Posts

Wear this one the most of the 5 I have. Great dry tech in the fabric for all weather. Ball mark on a magnet on the brim is clutch. No sweat marks even though it's dark.

I have a Puma rope hat I like a lot in terms of fit, but it says "Golf" across it and that's like wearing the shirt of the band you're going to see.

Here is said "Golf" hat I like but just too ironic for me.

I'm wearing it to the indoor place to meet my friend later bc that's the appropriate hilarious setting.

I have been a Black Clover fan for a long time. I like fitted hats since I have a huge head and snap backs never fit right. I love the memory foam headband too!!

My father has the opposite problem, tiny head size. He can't ever find a fitted hat. Black Clover is the one with a size we found the small actually fits on his peanut really well.

Head sock (touque) if the temperature is below 8 degrees Celsius, then just a ball cap, I like special occasion ones ie. Masters week hat etc. Some friends have brought back caps from their golf trips for me, Pasatiempo is a fun one...

I'm an outlier here.  I wear a hat made with an SPF fabric and a big brim and a neck drape.  It looks goofy, but it protects me nose, ears and neck without me having to slather sunscreen all over my face and neck.  In past years I've worn the Ultimate Sport Hat by Solumbra (www.sunprecautions.com), but this year I'm trying the sport hat made by Solbari.  I highly recommend both, especially if you're fair-skinned or if your dermatologist has warned you to be careful about getting too much sun.

I switched last year to a wide brimmed hat to cut down on the Sun exposure.  This one is an Addidas model, but also wear a few different brands - Titleist is my go to.

My go-to used to be a Titleist Flex Fit black curved brim mesh-back with white outlined black raised letters.  I must’ve worn it for 4 years (and it still looks good).

Last year I tried a black Melin Trenches Hydro after a friend recommended them.  Might be the best hat I’ve ever owned.  I now have four different colors.  They are sturdy, they keep moisture from my brow without getting soggy, and if I go out and work in the garden and it gets dusty or sweat stained, I throw it in the wash on cold in a light load and it comes out looking brand new.  The wide flat brim really helps cut down on glare around my glasses, and I really like how light rain beads off them, and I just think they look cool.  My 11 year old daughter really likes them too

I've got a climacool hat from a big warehouse store.
Don't particularly like the color
Feel ambivalent about the shoe company logo on the front
But . . . it keeps the sun out of my eyes and doesn't turn into a soggy mess from the copious amount of head sweat my overheated dome produces
(apologies for that visual)

Waggle has some elite hat designs and they are insanely comfortable especially coming from a guy who sweats a good amount each round!

It's a pricey hat but you can't go wrong with a Melin hat. They are perfect for any sport and I like the minimalist style. I have a few in different colors.

Expensive but so far they stay stain free. If they last twice as long as "normal" hats you end up spending the same amount vs. having to buy another one.

Living in Woodlands,TX. I normally walk, ride July and August only. Typically will wear bucket/wide brim hat ( worked road construction 40 yrs ago, no hat)

Recently found Mission’s wide brim with neck drape( at Home Depot!). Has been game changer. Always refreshing with cold water soak at each water can. Able to delay riding till July 17.

I have an Aussie Chiller. Crushable, can be soaked in water, then cools you as the water evaporates. When dry, works well in the rain to keep rain off both your face, and the back of your neck. In the sun, protects your face, ears, and the back of your neck. When windy, you can pull down the elastic hat band to anchor the hat to your head. I have been using my frequently for over 5 years and it is still in great condition.

Melin trenches hydro or Coronado hydro for me.  I own about 15 of them.  They maintain their shape, easy to clean and wick moisture. Wearing my black trenches hydro in the pick.  Love the flat brim as well.

NewEra world headquarters is an hour west of me in Buffalo.  My wife has told me jokingly that I already have enough hats...but when your favorite sports team is in the same city as NewEra, you have the opportunity to get some customs that aren't offered on the major vendor sites.

5950 in the winter, 3930 in the summer and 940's in between.  I love wearing these with Bills or Buffalo Bisons MILB designs.  

I also love the flex fit 110's.  I have an odd shaped head.  Melin looked like a great option but they just don't fit me.

I wish I didn't have to wear a hat but I sweat too much and need something to absorb it.

This is one thing that I do not really get from golfers.  We all spend as much as possible time on the golf course, usually on days when the weather is perfect.  But the vast majority wear golf caps (baseball caps) that offer the least protection against the sun.

I used to wear my Akubra Coober Pedy, but found that it was too hot to wear.  Sweat would drip from the front of the hat onto the ball when putting.

I then changed to a CANSA (The Cancer Association of South Africa) approved hat from Sunhats, the Emthunzini Oscar.  It offers much better UV protection, especially on the ears and sides of the face.  The ventilation of the hat is also very good.  The hat is permanently in my car and I always wear it when in the sun.

PS.  The flatcap that I have on in my profile pic is only worn when I play golf in charity games when I wear my kilt, about 4 times per year.

Akubra - too hot to use on the golf course

I like this. Considering one I use for fly fishing very much like it. They are good hats!

Otherwise for the humor. Might wear my trucking company hat. Just for the fun.

To be candid.... I would rather walk a field with a good Bird Dog, than to walk a golf course with people. Only problem is, I can't walk.
