EXPLAINED: How we test golf equipment

But here is our selection of the best golf caps for 2024…

Boss Bold Curved Baseball Cap

RRP £35.00 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Cotton | Colours: Black; Dark Blue 402; Dark Blue 403; White

Looks like something Babe Ruth would have worn and a style that is just a timeless classic. The 100% cotton feel, combined with the six panel-stitched design, feels and looks the business. 

Ralph Lauren Fairway Ball Cap

RRP £44.99 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Cotton; Polyester | Colours: French Navy; Outback Green

Possibly the most iconic fashion symbol adorns this classic-looking offering from Ralph Lauren. It also incorporates a performance sweatband.

Nike Dri-FIT AreoBill Featherlight Cap

RRP £17.95 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester | Colours: White; Thunder Blue; Black

Nike’s uncanny knack of producing golf apparel that isn’t quite like anything we’ve seen before is all too evident in this golf cap. The emphasis here is definitely on staying cool. The multitude of perforations have been “strategically placed to optimise breathability in high-sweat areas”. Sounds eminently sensible. The Nike logo and rim band are also luminous.

Castore Performance Cap

RRP £30.00 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester | Colours: White; Black

Another golf cap that is a bit of throwback. With its relatively narrow styling, which exposes a lot of the neck, it evokes memories of Hagen and Bobby Jones. It is also incredibly lightweight. 

Golfino 6-panel Cap

RRP £29.95 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester; Elastane | Colours: Black; Rich Teal; Indigo

The Italian sportswear company have produced another typically distinctive bit of sports kit. It is also relatively unusual in that the cap itself is very stretchy so you get two adjustable elements rather than just the standard back-of-the-cap adjuster strap.

Galvin Green Spike Golf Cap

RRP £25.00 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester | Colours: Black; Pink; Sharkskin

Galvin Green’s patented Ventil8 Plus moisture-wicking technology finds its ideal home in this eye-catching golf cap. Staying dry in this area of the body is really helpful on more than one level. And if pink isn’t your colour, you can also buy it in black and grey (Sharkskin).

Under Armour UA Iso-Chill Stretch Hat

RRP £23.00 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Nylon; Polyester; Elastane | Colours: Black + Pitch Gray; Black + Black Rose; Pitch Gray + Black; White + Pitch Gray; Academy + Pitch Gray

At least you will look a bit like Jordan Spieth because you’re never going to be able to play like him. Under Armour has thrown a lot into this golf cap in terms of keeping cool. The patented ArmourVent technology promises ‘ultimate’ breathability and it is pretty close to the mark.

You also get an Iso-Chill sweatband which is designed to disperse body heat. A fantastic piece of golfing headwear that is also relatively cost-effective. Also comes in a range of four sizes so you can actually find the perfect fit.

TaylorMade Tour Radar Cup

RRP £17.99 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester | Colours: Navy Blue; White

TaylorMade have a lot to say at the moment and they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to shout about their new Stealth range of woods. That apart, the darkened under bill, which is designed to reduce glare, represents a very astute bit of design while the moisture-wicking headband is certainly welcome too. 

Ping Tour Classic Baseball Cap

RRP £19.99 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester; Spandex | Colours: Black + White; White + Black

Another excellent option for less than £20 and one that is made from 13% spandex, so flexibility and comfort are never going to be an issue. Ping has also utilised the moisture-wicking fabric made by industry specialists Delta so if you don’t mind the in-your-face-branding, a really good all-round option.

Farah is new to golf for 2022 and the iconic clothing brand has gone big on golf caps with this really nice offering. The Reno is 100% cotton, so you benefit from all its natural cooling properties, plus you also get a rather natty ball marker, held in place with a magnet. 

Calvin Klein Cotton Twill Cap

RRP £30.00 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Cotton | Colours: Navy; White

Understated but oozing with class, this is another timeless golf cap. It is 100% cotton so you get all the benefits of a natural material, not the least the unique feel and organic cooling effects.

RRP £21 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Performance | Colours: White + Black; Black; Charcoal + Black; Navy + White; Grey + Black; Orange + White; Yellow + Black; Royal blue + White

Those clever people of Titleist just never let you down and again, they have produced a piece of golfing apparel that just about ticks every box.

You have got to hand it to Srixon, when they does something… it’s not by halves. Its range of ball marker caps has 11 colour options. At less than £15 it also compares favourability with its rivals and even though it is 100% polyester, Srixon has incorporated its own moisture-wicking technology to offset the potential issue of using the plastic-based material. 

OceanTee Pacific Cap

RRP £29.99 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Recycled Ocean Plastic | Colours: Purple; Teal; White

The sustainability pioneer keeps raising the bar when it comes to the awareness of what we are doing to the planet and this range of golf caps, made entirely of rubbish recovered from the Pacific Ocean, is its latest innovation.

Just shows you anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Oakley Chalten Snapback Baseball Cap

RRP £19.99 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Acrylic; Wool | Colours: Fathom + Cool Grey; Grigio Scuro; Jet Black; New Granite Heather + Black

Certainly no problem with ventilation on this Oakley cap. The mesh panels at the back will certainly alleviate any overheating issues although, aesthetically, it is clearly not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. The snapback feature certainly assures this cap will stay in place, even when the wind gets up. 

Lyle & Scott Eagle Logo Cap

RRP £19.99 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester; Elastane | Colours: Aegean Blue; True Black; White

Lyle & Scott certainly knows its onions when it comes to style. The iconic golden eagle emblem, embossed with a thick black stripe, looks fantastic and the understated design touches create a golf cap that will have widespread appeal.

Adidas 3-Stripe Tour Cap

RRP £26.95 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester | Colours: Black

People playing on the opposite end of the course will know you are wearing an adidas cap but some logos just transcend their own sport and you can’t begrudge adidas blowing its own trumpet in this way. The cap is also as good as you expect and well done to them for making it from 100 recycled polyester.

Puma 2022 P110 Cap

RRP £19.99 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester; Rayon | Colours: Black; White; High Rise

Pretty understated by Puma’s standards but still ‘funky’ enough for Puma die-hards. With Puma apparel, you also get plenty of value for money and plenty of helpful features.

RRP £17.99 | VIEW OFFER

Oscar Jacobson Maddox Golf Cap

RRP £17.99 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester | Colours: Black; Aqua, Navy + Royal; Teal; Orange Rust + Black; Grey + Pewter

A typically-smart piece of golf gear from OJ and the really eye-catching element comes at the back with hundreds of laser-cut tiny holes ensuring that breathability is never going to be a problem. The stitched Oscar Jacobson logo on the front just adds that touch of class. 

Travis Mathew Flamingo Go Baseball Cap

RRP £29.99 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Cotton; Polyester; PU Blend | Colours: Heather Quiet Shade

Travis Mathew certainly has a style all of its own and this offering is very much a hat golf cap you’ll either love or hate. If you like the heavily textured style then it is a great option. It feels as sturdy as it looks and the cotton/polyester blend gives you the best of both worlds in terms of durability and comfort. 

J.Lindeberg Caden Cap

RRP £29.99| VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester | Colours: Black; Navy; White

All the caps on this list are designed to be highly playable as well as look good but some are just that little bit better from a practical perspective and this golf cap from J.Lindeberg is certainly in that category.

RRP £21.95 | VIEW OFFER
Material: Polyester | Colours: Blue Tattoo; Bittersweet; Black Iris; Bright White; Caviar

Material: Polyester | Colours: Black + Red + White; White + Navy

Unmistakeably Ellesse and one that is as tough as old boots. The durable ripstop fabric gives this golf cap a touch of the indestructible.
