Best hats for sun protection ?


10Hockey

Recommended Posts

Living in AZ we get a lot of brutal sun .  What hats seem to work best for sun protection ?  Not interested in waterproof as it rarely rains , mainly sun protection for the face area.  I can always put my collar up on my shirt for my neck and I do not like that flap for the neck area.  Trying to keep it compact but yet effective.

Any sort of sun hat from your course (my course has them so I assume yours would too) or from the OEMs work well.

I have 2 from Mizuno the same as this

Titleist and Callaway have their own

I like the Aussie Chiller hats they come in both narrow and wide brim. A benefit is that you can soak them for added heat relief. FYI, you want to protect your ears which most people don't put sunscreen on.

I have a Dorfman Pacific soaker hat available on Amazon.  I soak the hat in the clubhouse before tee time, but its dry after 2-3 holes in the <20% humidity here in the desert.  I use the water coolers on the #5, #8, #13 and #16 tees to re-soak it.  If the wind is up, I have to switch to a regular hat because it's distracting.

I use an Ahead Palmer hat. Play in Aruba and the Northeast, and the hat does a good job of keeping me cooler and protected from the sun. I have a large noggin (7 7/8), and the Palmer fits me well. Hope this helps.
