The 10 Best Golf Hats

The Nike Legacy91 Tech (appx. $22) can quickly be adjusted to fit your head, thanks to the one-handed, snagless closure on the back. Once you have it sized to your liking, the stretch fabric will keep it firmly in place without cutting off the circulation to your brain.

Channel your inner Greg Norman with the Aussie Chiller Bushie (appx. $46). Made from a soft chamois material, you can actually soak it in water before wearing it to keep cool, which will allow you to stay out on the course even longer.

The Nike Sun Bucket (appx. $35) boasts a stiff brim that will stay in place no matter what weather you're playing through, while the crown is soft and lets plenty of air in, reducing the chance that you'll overheat in the middle of your last hole of the day.

The moisture-wicking sweatband inside the Puma P Snapback (appx. $26) will keep perspiration out of your eyes, helping you to line up your next shot without needing to squint or blink. If you've ever had sunscreen get into your peepers, you know just how valuable that can be.

No one will mistake you for a fashion model when you're wearing the Lenikis Outdoor Activities (about $13), but you won't draw the ire of your dermatologist, either. It has flaps that protect your ears, neck, and the back of your head from the sun's deadly rays.

For the traditionalist, the Ted and Jack Street Easy Newsboy (about $11) is a charming throwback to the game's roots. While it certainly can't help you play like Ben Hogan, at least you can look like him. The effect should last until you take your first swing.

As you might surmise given the name, The Weather Company Waterproof (appx. $15) is a smart choice during a downpour. It's made of microfiber polyester with taped seams, so liquid rolls right off it. The real question is, Why are you golfing in the rain?

The Under Armour Warrior 2.0 (around $22) dries out quickly, which comes in handy if you get caught in the rain. That also keeps your head from freezing if you start to sweat as the mercury drops, as it won't trap chilled water along your hairline.

The Sunday Afternoons Coronado (around $27) is a stylish choice for any woman spending an afternoon on the links. This fedora has a large floppy brim that can be angled to your liking, and the leather band helps dress it up for an early supper in the clubhouse.

If fashion is your primary consideration, this offering from Royal & Awesome (about $30) is sure to draw stares everywhere you go. It comes in a variety of eye-catching patterns and colors, so you may even be able to use it to distract your buddy during an important putt.
