Introduction to visor caps

The visor cap is different from the general hat because its top is empty, so we usuall call it the visor cap. On the Internet, the visor cap is also called the “sun hat”. The visor cap is a popular style in Japan and South Korea, which is easy to match with clothes. It is bright in color, simple and fashionable, breathable and refreshing, and has a variety of colors to choose from.

Visor cap types

The visor cap can be divided into the following two categories:

Wide brim visor cap:

Material: Usually made of plastic, it provides good UV protection and sun shading functions.
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for outdoor activities such as cycling, the wide brim of the hat can effectively block sunlight while protecting the view.
Design feature: Combining the functions of a sun hat and sunglasses, providing comprehensive sun protection.

Short brim visor cap:

Material: Similar to a baseball cap, but with a sweat absorbing towel texture designed inside to increase comfort.
Design features: Simple and elegant, with creative details, suitable for daily travel and relaxed sports occasions.
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for intense sports such as running and playing ball, as well as daily casual wear.

These two types of empty top hats have their own characteristics and applicable scenarios, and users can choose according to their specific needs and preferences.

How to choose the right visor cap

When choosing a visor cap, the following key factors can help you find the product that best suits your needs:

1. Width of brim
   Recommended size: For people with large faces, choosing a brim 7-10 centimeters wide is more suitable. This can block sunlight while avoiding overly exaggerated visual effects.
   Material and Design: The material of the wide brim should have good breathability and sweat absorption, such as a blend of polyester fiber and spandex fabric, to ensure that the head remains dry.
2. Material selection
   Breathability: Select materials with excellent breathability to keep your head cool and comfortable, while sweat absorption ensures sweat doesn’t accumulate and hamper comfort and visibility..
3. Color and Design
   Color selection: Dark colored hats help to shrink vision and make the face look smaller; Light colored colors are more suitable for summer, reflecting sunlight and reducing heat absorption.
   Design feature: Consider the rear design of the hat, such as the “Velcro+elastic band” system, which provides a stable wearing effect and reduces shaking.
4. Size and adaptability
   Size Selection: Select an appropriate hat based on your head circumference to ensure an ideal fit and adaptability during running, which could decrease any chance of it shaking loose or coming loose during your experience.
5. Ensure the hat does not shift while running to create the best experience and minimize shaking/fall off incidents that might hinder running experiences.
6. Brand and Price
   Brand reputation: Choose well-known brands such as Nike, Adidas, Compressport, etc., whose products are more guaranteed in quality and design.
   Price considerations: Choose appropriate styles and brands based on personal budget, with basic styles priced moderately and offering high cost-effectiveness.
7. Washing and maintenance
   Washing method: Most empty top hats can be machine washed, but it is recommended to use gentle mode and put them in a laundry bag to prevent deformation.
   Maintenance precautions: Avoid frequent washing and excessive stretching, and maintain the shape and function of the hat.
   Through the above methods, you can choose the most suitable empty top hat according to your specific needs and conditions, ensuring the best protection and comfort during running or other activities.
