The visor hat – a perfect accessory for summertime activities

Visors vs caps & hats

A visor cap, like a traditional cap, a bandana with a visor and a hat, reliably protects your delicate facial skin and eyes from the blinding sunshine. This piece of headwear is equally good for sports adventures as well as leisure ones. That’s why a visor hat is rightfully considered a must-have for any look during the warm seasons of the year.

What is a visor hat and what is it made of?

A visor hat has a crownless design that prevents excessive sweating and provides thermal regulation in a natural way. It is usually made of technologically advanced fabrics with water-repellent or UV-blocking sun properties.

Visor caps are also made from natural fabrics, such as cotton, linen, raffia, and straw. Cotton has good moisture absorption, which is of substantial benefit during activities in the warm seasons of the year. Raffia and straw are sustainable fabrics that are both fashionable and comfortable while allowing better air circulation.

The brim of a visor cap is made of dense material, so it protects your eyes and face from harmful sunlight. Large brim visor hats ensure full sun protection of the face.

Oldie but goldie

There is no clear information, about who invented the very first visor hat or when exactly it happened. But for sure this piece of headwear has sporty roots. Visor caps started to show up in the 1970s in outdoor sports, especially golf, tennis, and volleyball. In the 1990s they became popular again, and began to be worn by non-athletes at sunny outdoor events. Nearly three decades later they are making a strong comeback: Visor caps are once again en vogue.

Types of visor hats

Visor caps come in a variety of colours and styles. This variety allows you to buy an accessory for any summery activity.

Sports and outdoor activities

Whether you’re playing golf, tennis, hiking, or running – a visor cap is your ideal companion. As a basic in the world of golf hats and caps, visor caps provide essential sun protection while allowing maximum air circulation to keep players cool on the course. The BUFF brand offers primarily sporty models. Their reflective elements ensure better visibility and safety at dusk.

Beach life

When it comes to relaxing at the beach or sipping a cocktail by the pool on a lovely summer day, a beach sun visor is the perfect choice. Brands such as Seeberger, Betmar or Lierys offer what you are looking for.

Streetstyle

Wearing a well-chosen visor cap, you will look cool and stay cool in the summer heat. Brands such as Kangol and Bedacht offer eye-catching models for summer festivals and city strolls.

How to style a visor cap

Visor caps are also worn for styling purposes. For instance, a visor cap is one of the key pieces of the athleisure aesthetic look. Preppy athleisure has become mainstream for streetstyle in recent years. This style combines classic clothing styles with comfortable and functional athletic wear. Combine a visor hat with classic garments such as collared shirts, sweaters, dresses, and blazers, and established dress codes become a break in style, creating a sporty version of the preppy look.

Besides, athleisure looks are trendy at festivals because they are comfortable, easy to style and functional. Preppy athleisure outfits, consisting of pleated skirts, polo shirts, lace-up shoes and visors, have experienced a never-ending revival.

If you want to elevate your look and mood, a visor hat is an easy, affordable way to put a festive pep in your step. Plain white, black, or neon-pink visors are an original element that will add freshness to your look.

Are visor caps mainly for women?

Of course not! Visors are a versatile accessory that suits anyone, regardless of gender. Many manufacturers also produce unisex models that will be a great addition to summer outfits for all genders.

Visors vs caps & hats

There's no doubt that wearing some type of headgear equipped with a brim protects your face from the sun, but what’s better: a hat, a cap, or a visor?

The major bonuses of the visor:

Travel-friendliness. In theory, hats and caps are great, until you arrive at your destination, pull them out of your luggage, and find irreparable crunches in the brim or crown. Visors, however, are the solution. They are very compact and lightweight for storage in your suitcase, beach bag, or backpack, so it’s easy to take them with you on holiday or a short getaway. Besides, many visors are foldable and perfect for rolling up.
Ventilation function. Because of the crownless design, visors provide more breathability than a hat or a cap, so the head doesn’t get sweaty during leisure activities and sports. They are a great, airy alternative to a fully enclosed cap or hat.
Easy on your hairstyle. As an alternative to a fully enclosed cap and hat, a visor cap is a great option for those who want to wear their long hair up. Additionally, it’s easy to make a ponytail or bun in the visor cap.

How to choose the correct size

A visor cap usually has an adjustable closure, which helps to adjust the accessory to the desired parameters. Some visor hats are equipped at the back with a stretch elastic band and also have innovative Flexfit properties to ensure the perfect fit and wearing comfort. The integrated hook-and-loop-closure for width adjustment at the back of the head ensures a perfect fit at all times, and it can adjust to any head circumference. Oversized visor hats are mostly equipped with a hook-and-loop closure or an elastic stretch band.

However, the capabilities of closure are limited, so we recommend that you play it safe and choose the correct size by measuring your head circumference. You can find instructions on measuring your head size in our size guide.

How to clean a visor cap

Tip: The first step of headwear care: impregnate your visor cap. Before you wear your visor cap for the first time, it should definitely be impregnated. The impregnation spray protects your new visor cap not only from moisture but especially from heavy dirt. It prevents dirt from penetrating deep into the material and settling in the fibres. Ingredients in the care product provide nylon, linen, cotton, synthetic and co. with effective protection against the weather and dirt. This makes subsequent care much easier. In addition, colour brilliance and surface structure are retained longer in this way.

Proper care is essential for ensuring the longevity and quality of your headwear. To clean it, all you need is a brush, a clean cloth and a care product. For light soiling, a little detergent is often enough.

For visor caps with a brim that doesn’t bend, you would do better to wash by hand using a mild detergent or soak in warm water at 30 degrees for 5 minutes. Then you should carefully go over the problem areas with a soft brush or cloth and rinse well in running lukewarm water. Let the visor cap dry completely.

Sweat stains on the inner rim or brim can be easily removed with aspirin. Dissolve two aspirin pills in 100 ml of warm water and apply to the problem areas. After a couple of hours, just rinse the cap in clean cold or warm water. Then pat dry with a towel.
To remove make-up stains on headwear, apply micellar water to a cotton pad and wipe the contaminated areas. It may be necessary to repeat using several fresh pads before the make-up stain begins to disappear.
If your visor cap is made of straw or raffia, clean a stain using only a soft cloth, cold water, and mild detergent without soaking in water.

We strongly recommend that you pay close attention to the washing instructions from the manufacturer.

Among the wide range of models with different styles, colours, and fabrics, you will definitely find a visor cap that will harmoniously fit your look.
