How to Choose the Best Golf Hats?

A top-quality headgear shields your face and eyes from UV rays, evaporates sweat with a cooling effect, and decreases glare. Follow the points below to find the perfect sun hat for you:

Performance Golf Hats

1. Right Style

Visor

Visors are for players who need to block the sunlight, without the hat feeling on their heads. Their built-in sweatbands absorb moisture, making them the best choice in summer games. The styles and lengths vary; you can choose from a traditional short visor to the modern longer style.

Golf Cap

Among all the golf hats, the baseball caps and men’s golf caps have become favourites due to their multifunctional nature, comfort level, and sun protection. Their flexible structure stays comfortable while walking and swinging. The moisture-wicking fabric of the waterproof golf caps keeps players dry during summer rounds. Select golf caps from various sizes (fitted, adjustable, snapback), materials, and designs.

Bucket Hat

Men's bucket hats are the most popular choice among young golfers. They provide excellent protection against the sun and feel comfortable during hot days. The wide brims, mesh panels, and breathable fabric of birdie bucket hats provide maximum airflow. Always buy waterproof golf hats made of quick-dry fabrics to pull sweat away from your skin and keep you cool and dry.

Performance Hats

Performance hats come in various styles, ranging from beanies to baseball caps to headbands. Our waldo golf beanies and Admiral Caps have moisture-wicking fabrics, UPF protection, and cooling technology.

2. Exact Fit

Structured Crown: For the players who prefer the sharp, elegant look. It maintains its shape with a fine front panel and feels comfortable.

Low Profile: More relaxed and fits closer to the head. Perfect choice for those who prioritise comfort in casual looks too.

Flat Brim: It gives a contemporary and cool look. Made for golfers who want to look visually appealing while staying at ease.

Unstructured: Casual, feels comfortable, and super lightweight. Best for walking rounds, warm areas, or post-game meetings.

3. Match with the Conditions

  • Choose the lightest and most breathable summer golf bucket hats with moisture-wicking panels for hot and sunny days.

  • Go for a structured-shaped men's bucket hat that is secure for windy conditions.

  • Wear darker shades of a waterproof golf bucket with a slightly heavier build for cool days.

  • In high-sun exposure conditions, a UPF-rated golf bucket hat with a slightly deeper crown will provide more face coverage.

4. Face Shape and Head Size

  • Bucket hats function effectively for most head shapes. If you have a long face, wear a medium-structured golf bucket hat with a wide brim. But for a round face, a shorter brim with a clean crown is the best option.

  • Square-jawed golfers will find soft, flexible bucket hats like Camo Bucket Hats perfect for a relaxed look.

  • If your face is a bit on the longer side, then a slightly wider brim can make all the difference.

  • Compact brim and a shallow crown style suits golfers with a smaller head. The adjustable style, like Ranger Bucket Hats, is ideal for those with larger head sizes.

How to Choose the Best Golf Belts?

Durable Golf Belts

Golf belts not only keep your pants secure in place but also add a refined touch to your outfit. Here are the factors you should consider while getting men’s golf belts: 

1. Comfort and Fit

  • The first thing to consider when choosing a golf belt is its comfort. Adjustable golf belts reduce playing stress and improve performance.

  • Choose a belt made from breathable materials to control temperature and moisture. The ratchet system and sturdy buckle of our Tour Pro Belts allow you to adjust the belt in small increments for a perfect fit.

  • Look for belts that allow a certain degree of flexibility to align with swing. A rigid belt can be uncomfortable during the swinging motion as it may not allow any twisting or bending. A stretchy belt, like Men's Croc Golf Leather Belt, offers freedom of movement without losing support.

2. Material

Material plays a key role in durability and on-course performance. Leather belts are the most luxurious and classy choice, providing an elegant appearance. Our high-quality stretch fabric of golf leather belts for men keeps their shape and shine over time. 

Webbed golf belts are trending among young golfers who consider comfort and unrestricted movement as their top priority. Made from woven or high-stretch materials, tour webbed belts are lightweight, flexible, and provide maximum airflow.

3. Size

A loose belt may not stay in position during your round, while a too-tight one can disturb stretching and bending. A right belt is long enough to go around the waist and then tuck under the first belt loop of golf trousers. Never choose formal, thinner belts with a wide wrap.

4. Buckle Type and Closure Mechanism

The buckle and closure mechanism of a golf belt can affect the belt's functionality and style. Choose from the best buckle types, such as traditional prong buckles, magnetic closures, and ratchet-style belts. Prong buckles are the safest choice, while the magnetic closure mechanism makes adjustment easy. A ratchet-style belt gives micro-adjustability with a precise fit.

5. Style and Design

From simple to bold and eye-catching, golf belts come in a wide range of designs. Wear a classic, wider belt for support and stability, while a narrow belt for a more modern and sleek approach. Whether you prefer a solid white, black, navy colour, or bold orange or green, our men’s belt collection has a piece to suit your personal style.

How to Choose the Best Golf Socks?

Comfortable Golf Socks

The right socks prevent blisters, increase comfort, confidence, and focus on the course. Know what features to look for in this golf socks guide.

1. Materials

Bamboo cotton is softer than silk, making it one of the most comfortable materials. Cotton is also soft, breathable, and affordable, but it traps moisture, which can cause blisters. Merino wool absorbs moisture, prevents odour, and keeps your feet warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. Polyester, nylon, and spandex are lightweight, durable, and moisture-wicking. They also offer compression and support, which can improve blood flow and reduce fatigue.

2. Cushioning

Some players want socks with no cushioning because they provide a better feel of the ground and the shoes. Lightly cushioned socks are ideal for short distances as they offer some padding for summer conditions without adding weight. Golfers with sensitive feet should wear medium-cushioning socks to reduce impact and pressure. Heavy cushioning suits players who can withstand the bulk and weight of the socks. However, in cold weather, these men’s golf socks give you the warmth required to keep your feet from freezing.

3. Fit

Too loose socks can fold and cause blisters, while too-tight socks can restrict blood flow and cause discomfort. Wear socks that are the right size for your feet. The arch support of our One Pair Trainer Socks improves stability, reduces fatigue, and reduces injuries. Don’t wear golf sports socks with bulky or raised toe seams, which can irritate your toes and cause blisters.

4. Style

Select no-show socks for the ultimate minimalist style, low-cut One Pair Tour Ankle Socks for great comfort, and crew socks under golf shorts.

Key Features to Look for in Golf Gloves

Golf gloves are crucial to grip the club better, prevent blisters, and improve your performance. The following golf gloves guide helps you pick the perfect pair.

  • Top synthetic or blending leather types of materials feel soft while maintaining a strong and steady grip on the club.

  • Gloves with strategically located mesh panels or breathable zones allow the hands to be cool and dry. This reduces sweating during the hot summer rounds and holds the glove in place.

  • The fit and the flexibility greatly affect the performance. A well-designed golf glove fits naturally on the hand, allowing for the smoothest finger movement without restricting the swing. Stretch zones and ergonomic stitching adjust to the hand shape, giving better control in every shot.

  • These gloves must resist moisture to maintain a sturdy grip even in dampness or humidity.

  • Buy regular golf gloves for standard-length fingers and a standard palm size. For shorter fingers and a wider palm, get cadet gloves.

  • Reinforcement on the palm, strong stitches, and construction should ensure the glove's durability even after several rounds.
