Look the part with this Nike cap with the legendary 'TW' logo. The perforations and holes at the front of the design give excellent ventilation and Nike's AeroBill technology combines breathability with sweat-wicking comfort. The cap is also very adjustable making it great for golfers of all head sizes. There are loads of colors to choose from as well although we should say, if you turn up to the course with a Tiger Woods logo on display, you better bring your A-game!

Do your best Dustin Johnson impression with this Tour Radar cap from TaylorMade. Available in six different colors it has an adjustable strap to cater for any shape of head whilst the moisture wicking fabric deals with any sweat nicely too. Not only that but you can either get the design with the Stealth logo on the side.

+ Keeps you cool in the heat
+ Comfortable fit
- White colorway picks up dirt easily

A golf cap needs to offer protection and not distract you and this model does this and then some. We like the understated styling and the mesh design means there is plenty of ventilation on hot days. We certainly appreciated the Iso-Chill sweatband during our testing, which helps disperse body heat making it feel cool to the touch. The shape is quite tall at the top although the slight stretch in the rim created a snug but comfortable fit. 

Sizes: One size fits most
Colors: 4

+ Good value
+ Versatile
- Perhaps best suited to younger players

A model you will undoubtedly have seen on the heads of Sergio Garcia and Joaquin Niemann, this 3-Stripe Tour cap has been designed to keep golfer's cool on hot spring or summer days. Available in four colors, it is made from 100% polyester which stretches nicely to fit on any shape or size of head. Check out our guide to the best adidas polo shirts (opens in new tab) which could be paired nicely with this fantastic golf hat to complete a very sporty and athletic look for the golf course.

- Flat bill design won’t be for everyone

A cap you will undoubtedly have seen out on Tour, this Tour Authentic hat from Callaway boasts 30+ UV protection, an adjustable fit, a moisture wicking sweatband that will keep your brow dry and your head cool in even the hottest conditions. That headband is easy to adjust thanks to a clip on the back of the hat, which will accommodate every head size, but the flat bill design will not be to the tastes of every golfer.

Sizes: One size fits most

+ Very popular model

- Perhaps best suited for younger players

One of the most popular golf caps in the amateur game, Rickie Fowler could play a role there, this 'P' Snapback cap has a moisture wicking sweatband and is made from dryCell Technology fabric to help you stay cool under pressure. The important thing here though is to find a color you like because there are so many collections and unique designs to choose from, which is fitting of Puma's excellent style and branding. If you want the classic look though, you can still get a simpler model as well.

When the cold weather hits, a good warm hat is vital. Enter this Pom Beanie from adidas which features a soft polyester fabric combined with Cold.Rdy technology to really give a warm and insulated feel from the cold. 

The brushed interior lining enhances warmth retention, and we also liked the breathability of the beanie too so it didn’t feel uncomfortable or itchy when wearing it for a long time. The stretch of the fabric is a bonus as well. 

Sizes: One size
Colors: 2 (red and green)

+ Keeps wind at bay
+ Eye catching design
- Rustling sound inside may be distracting

This beanie hat provides the warmth of 100 percent merino wool without the harsh feel thanks to the stretchy windbreaker lining inside which also helps create the perfect fit. In terms of protection from the elements, this wooly hat is hard to fault, although the inner lining means that sound struggles to dissipate when the ears are covered, leading to a slight rustling sound every time you move your head. 

It’s distracting at first but you soon get used to it and the protection you experience it is worth it if you peg it up a lot in extreme conditions.

Sizes: One size fits all
Colors: 2 (White/Black, Red/Black)

+ Doubles as a beanie hat
+ Soft and warm
- Only two colors

The P Removable Pom Beanie has got you covered through the frosty mornings into the windy afternoons. We found it to be very warm, comfortable and surprisingly wind resistant. 

Along with the looks, the bobble, or pom, can be removed to make it look like a beanie hat, which works surprisingly well in practice. Featuring the renowned Puma P on its front, the P Removable Pom Beanie blends practicality with style, so you'll not only be feeling warm out on the course, but looking good too!

Sizes: One Size
Colors: 5 (Gray, Black, Blue, Brown, Mustard) 

+ Thick and warm
+ Versatile and can be used away from the course
- Might be a little small for people with larger heads

When it comes to getting the best golf beanie for you, it's always worth looking at the versatility the hat offers. By that, we mean whether you’d feel comfortable wearing that hat both on the course and away from it. This beanie from Nike does precisely that. Being made from a soft thick wool, it provides a dense layer of insulation around your head that will keep you nice and toasty during the colder months of the year. This hat is also very comfortable to wear as it stretches and molds itself around your head depending on how you want to wear it. It comes in five different colorways and features a stylish Nike label on its lip. 

Sizes: One size
Colors: 3 (Blue, Black, Stormcloud)

+ Extremely comfortable
+ Good roomy fit
- No bobble - many golfers like the look of one

The Bertie hat from Ping is an extremely comfortable beanie that offers up a slightly larger fit than the brand’s Cresting Knit hat and therefore will fit golfers of all head sizes. It offers up a very warm wear and can be adjusted to your preferred fit thanks to the adjustable turn up cuff.

The hat comes with a small Ping logo and a large sensor logo that is subtle in the black and blue colorways but comes in bright yellow in the navy option - allowing golfers to choose if they want color or subtlety from their beanie. The Ping logo is very well stitched in so should last a very long time. 

Sizes: One size
Colors: 3 (Black, Grey, Green)

+ Extremely warm
+ Comfortable, tight fit
- No white, navy or red options

The Infrared Driver Pom beanie is a fantastic, warm winter hat that looks superb with its one-color throughout styling, minimal Under Armour branding and bobble. It offers up a snug fit with some stretch but golfers with large heads may feel it could be looser, although it has an elasticated adjustable cuff so it can be worn to fit your preference.

The beanie comes in just three colors - black, grey and teal - which all look great but some golfers might have preferred white, navy or red options as well. Overall, it’s undoubtedly one of the best golf beanies on the market and one that will become a favorite both on the course and off of it throughout the colder months.

Sizes: XS-2XL 
Colors: 5 (Black, Green, White, Navy, Bliss Lilac) 

+ Great for sunny days and wet days
+ Small and minimalist design

Made from Primegreen, a series of high-performance recycled materials, this bucket hat is part of the Rain.Rdy range from adidas, which seeks to keep you performing when the weather is bad. Available in several colors, the hat not only helps in bad weather, but it has been designed with an all-around brim which provides both shade and sun protection to your face while keeping your head cool. Why not also complete the look and grab a pair of adidas golf trainers and a premium adidas golf shirt to go with them.

+ Stretch design fits nicely around most head sizes
+ Water-resistant 
- Only comes in two colors

Bucket hats don't come much better than this excellent offering from TaylorMade which, notably, can be worn in both the rain and sunshine. Yes, this hat is water-resistant and while it isn't completely waterproof, it'll keep your head pretty dry when the elements get tough. Meanwhile, on a sunny day, this is perhaps one of the best caps to wear to protect you from the glare of the sun. What's more, its visor is the perfect length to keep your eyes sheltered from the sun's glare and also shade the back of your neck. It also comes with a dark underbill that helps reduce glare even further. 

Sizes: One Size Fits Most
Colors: 1 (Black)

+ Wide brim
+ Water-resistant and lightweight construction  
- May be too large for some golfers and their swings

With the iconic Titleist logo stitched onto the front of this hat, you'll look the part wherever you go on the golf course. Its design is simple but effective, thanks to the high-performing waterproof construction of this hat's material. Its seams are fully sealed to not let one drop of water through and has a great protective rim that will push rain off and away from your body. That all combined means that this is a really well-designed hat that can keep both the rain and sun off you while you're on the course.

Sizes: One Size Fits Most
Colors: 2 (Black, Navy)

+ Handy chin strap
+ Fully seam sealed
- Only comes in two colors

Galvin Green's Aqua bucket hat is fully seam sealed like most other bucket hats but, what differentiates it further, is the extra wide brim at the back, the storm strap and the elasticated sweatband. That all combines to give players maximum protection and comfort when they need it most in terrible weather. However, it's the wider brim at the back that is perhaps the best addition, as it keeps the rain from running down the back of your neck. It works so well for a variety of head sizes, that we also included the Aqua in our guide on the best women's golf hats too.

Sizes: M/L, L/XL
Colors: 1 (Grey)

+ Takes up very little room in your golf bag
+ Made from a breathable material that is stretchy
- Not the best hat for wet conditions

First things first, this bucket hat is made with ArmourVent technology which delivers breathability in a light, stretchy, durable, and fast-drying fabric. It also has a nifty little sweatband and lining, which helps disperse body heat and the material itself wicks sweat away so this is the perfect model to use on hot days. While it isn't one of the best hats on the list for wet weather golf, it will certainly do a great job of keeping you cool in warmer conditions. Under Armour also make some of the best base layers on the market, so they know a thing or two when conditions turn sour. 

Sizes: One size
Colors: 1 (White)

+ UV protection
+ Breathable and moisture wicking sweatband provide comfort
- Only comes in one color

Callaway are well known in the golf industry for producing high quality golf materials and this garment lives true to that reputation. It is the perfect bucket hat for hot conditions, as it is designed primarily for shading golfers from the sun.
