Best visor

A visor is a great choice for anyone who needs a hat, but wants to stay cool: literally and figuratively. They are also ultra-versatile when it comes to accommodating hairstyles. Whether you're wearing a high ponytail or have your curled locks down, a visor won't flatten your style or make your scalp sweat. Here's a list of my favorites.

This wide-brimmed visor has an adjustable circumference, ranging from 21 to 24 inches; it'll be a great fit for most adults. The large brim measures 4.8 inches, ensuring your face stays protected from direct sunlight. This visor, made from soft and stretchy cotton, is breathable and lightweight for comfort. The lining is made from anti-sweat materials that keep bacteria from building up and moisture off your face. Wear this visor while engaging in low-impact sports or relaxing outdoors. 

This eco-friendly visor is a great choice for men. It is moisture-wicking to manage sweat, keeping it away from the eyes, which is essential while playing sports, hiking, or more. For a customized fit, the visor has an easy Velcro band. And its black color is versatile, matching almost every ensemble.

If you're looking for a sun hat that won't flatten your voluminous locks, this bohemian visor is a perfect choice. It is made with lightweight natural raffia straw, allowing your skin and scalp to breathe—a must-have on vacation. The wide brim protects from direct sunlight and the Velcro closure keeps the visor securely fastened to your head. When you're not using this visor, it can be rolled up for storage or travel.

These visors are perfect for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and other themed events because they are available in six fun colors from pink to blue. Their retro styling comes through with the transparent plastic brim and shield. There's also an adjustable strap made from white stretchy fabric. These visors offer UV protection and are windproof and waterproof. 

This soft cotton visor is for kids aged 2 to 6 years old. It is available in multiple bold colors, so your child can enjoy wearing their favorite shade as they enjoy the outdoors. The built-in elastic closure stretches to accommodate most children, ensuring this breathable visor remains securely in place all day long. 

The bottom line

The best visor keeps your scalp cool while protecting you from direct sunlight. The CAMOLAND sun visor, our favorite, is both stylish and ultra-practical. It features an extra-large brim that measures 4.8 inches, ensuring the sun stays out of your eyes and off your face while you adventure outdoors. 

The East Water straw visor is the ultimate vacation staple piece. This bohemian-chic design is made from lightweight straw that elevates any outfit. You also won't have to worry about losing the volume in your hairstyle as it comfortably wraps around your head via an adjustable Velcro closure.
