Sun Hats & Visors for Beach, Garden & Golf

Start with coverage. A wide brim of 3 inches or more shades the face, ears, and neck; a visor leaves the crown open for ponytails and breathability but skips scalp protection. Check the UPF rating — UPF 50+ blocks about 98% of UV, and tightly woven straw, raffia, or poly-cotton canvas blocks more than loose-weave fabric. For travel, look for "packable" or "crushable" hats that roll into a bag and spring back; paper-braid and ribbon straw do this best. A chin cord or adjustable inner drawstring keeps a brim on in beach wind. Makers personalize visors and bucket-style sun hats with embroidered names, monograms, or a small icon on the brim or band; straw hats often take a custom ribbon or burned-in initials. Expect $15-$35 for terry and cotton visors, $25-$60 for embroidered bucket sun hats, and $35-$90 for wide-brim straw and raffia. Many ship in 3-7 business days; embroidered or custom-ribbon pieces run 1-2 weeks.
