What are the Key Features to look for when buying a men’s golf rain hat?

Material & Waterproofing: Look for materials like nylon or polyester that are inherently water-resistant, or natural fibres like waxed canvas/cotton. Some hats use hydrophobic coatings that make water bead off.

Brim & Design:  A wide brim is crucial for shielding your face, neck, and even your glasses from rain. Bucket hat styles offer excellent coverage.

Fit & Security: An adjustable strap, elastic band, or drawstring ensures the hat stays on during windy swings and prevents it from blowing away.

Breathability: Vents or mesh panels help air circulate, preventing your head from overheating and sweating excessively.

Moisture Wicking & Sweatband: An internal sweatband wicks moisture away from your skin, keeping sweat out of your eyes and improving comfort.

Durability: Check for quality stitching and construction so it lasts through many rounds.

Portability: Consider hats that can be folded or packed easily for storage in your golf bag. 

Styles to Consider:

Bucket Hats: Offer great all-around coverage.

Baseball Cap Style: Good for lighter rain, often with hydrophobic tech. 

By prioritizing these features, you'll find a hat that keeps you dry, comfortable, and focused on your game, rain or shine. 

Why choose Black Heron Headwear?

I am a single figure handicap and play golf in all-weather, all year round and I wear glasses and I don’t like my ears getting wet! So I designed a two in one hat which incorporates the stiff front of a golf peak combined with the wide brim of a bucket hat, which has been reinforced to keep its shape and offers great coverage. The fabric is 100% polyester and waterproof tested to 10000m to Japanese H2O standard JISL1092.The hat is fully seam sealed, breathable and has adjustable storm straps.

I tested it in Wales, Pwllheli Golf Club where in never rains!!!! And was very happy with the result.
