Women's golf hats and visors from Imperial 1916

The right women's golf hat or visor comes down to three things: coverage, fit and fabric. Imperial 1916's Women's Fit collection covers all three with Small Fit performance hats for full crown coverage, ponytail hats for tied-back hair, and visors for an open crown. Small Fit fits head sizes 6 3/4 - 7 1/8.

Imperial has made hats since 1916, and golf is where we spend most of our time. Here is how the women's styles differ, and how to pick the one you will actually wear for eighteen holes.

What should you look for in a women's golf hat?

Start with the fabric, then the fit, then the closure. A performance fabric that is lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking does more over four hours than any color choice. Fit decides whether the hat stays put on the backswing. The closure decides how fine you can tune it.

Then decide how much coverage you want. A cap covers the crown. A ponytail hat covers the crown and leaves room for tied-back hair. A visor shades your eyes and leaves the top of your head open. A bucket hat or wide-brim sun hat offers full 360-degree coverage for maximum protection against the sun.

Which women's golf hats does Imperial make?

Every hat and visor below says which fit it comes in.

Small Fit Performance Cap

L210P - The Original Small Fit Performance Cap is the small fit version of our Original Performance cap.

• Performance polyester fabric

• Lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking

• Micro hook & loop elastic loop closure with garage tuck-in

• Small Fit, sizes 6 3/4 - 7 1/8

Pick it if you want traditional cap coverage in a lightweight performance fabric.

Small Fit performance ponytail hats

The "Here" Small Fit Performance Ponytail Hat takes the small fit performance style and adds durable elastic cross bands at the back.

• Open back panel with matching elastic, so a ponytail fits through

• Recycled performance poly

• Moisture-wicking and anti-microbial sweatband

• Curved visor, low profile

• Self-fabric micro hook & loop with elastic and garage tuck-in

• Small Fit, sizes 6 3/4 - 7 1/8

Pick it if you wear your hair tied back and want full crown coverage without the band pressing on it.

Bucket Hats & Sun Protection

Bucket hats and wide-brim sun hats provide extended 360-degree shade for your face, ears, and neck. Crafted with lightweight, breathable, and UPF-rated fabrics, they are ideal for long hours in full sun during hot summer rounds.

How do you choose a golf visor for women?

Choose by profile and fabric. A sports visor is a brim on a band with no crown, so air reaches the top of your head and what is left to choose is the brim, the sweatband and how high it sits. Featuring lightweight, breathable fabrics and adjustable fits, our visors offer sun protection without compromising on style.

Small Fit Performance Visor

The "Girl Mom" Small Fit Performance Visor is built on the L3124P Small Fit Performance Phoenix Visor.

• Low profile, curved visor

• Recycled performance poly; lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking

• Moisture-wicking and anti-microbial sweatband

• Self-fabric micro hook & loop with elastic and garage tuck-in

• Small Fit, sizes 6 3/4 - 7 1/8

Pick it for a sleek, sporty visor in performance fabric, sized like the Small Fit caps.

Ladies Visor

The "Queen Bee" Ladies Visor is a clip visor with an open back.

• Organic cotton twill

• Curved visor, 3 3/4" brim

• Soft terry cloth sweatband

• One size fits most (OSFM)

Pick it if you want a 3 3/4" brim and an open back that sits clear of any hairstyle.

Tour Visor®

The Tour Visor® is the original Tour Visor®: a high-profile visor with a classic golf look.

• Organic cotton twill

• Slight curve, 3 1/8" brim

• Terry cloth sweatband

• Self-fabric with metal buckle and slide adjuster

• One size fits most (OSFM)

Pick it for the traditional look, in cotton instead of performance fabric.

How do you find the right fit?

Measure, then match the chart. Women's Fit is the category; Small Fit is the size on the tag and on the sizing chart. The chart is unisex: Small Fit is a head circumference, not a gender.

Measure your head exactly where the hat will sit, which will usually be the largest point. Between sizes, choose the next largest size. Fractional US sizes like 6 3/4 are a hat size worked out from head circumference, which is why the chart lists centimeters too. The full chart is in the Help Center. The Ladies Visor and Tour Visor® are one size fits most.

Should you choose a golf hat or a visor?

Choose by coverage and hair. A cap or ponytail hat covers the crown. A visor leaves it open and runs cooler. If you wear a ponytail and want crown coverage, take the ponytail hat. If you want air on your head and a brim over your eyes, take a visor.

Many players keep one of each and pick by the day: a performance cap or ponytail hat for long, bright rounds, a visor when you want the lightest thing on your head.

Frequently asked questions

Can you wear a golf visor with long hair?

Yes. A visor leaves the crown open, so it works with a ponytail, braid or bun. The Ladies Visor's open back sits clear of any hairstyle.

What size is Small Fit?

Small Fit fits head sizes 6 3/4 - 7 1/8 (55.6cm). It is a measurement on a unisex chart, so measure your head where the hat sits and use the chart rather than assuming a size.

What is a ponytail hat?

A cap with an open back panel and elastic, so a ponytail fits through. Imperial's Small Fit Performance Ponytail Hats add elastic cross bands at the back and come in Small Fit, 6 3/4 - 7 1/8.

How do you clean a golf hat?

We recommend spot cleaning by hand to retain both the color and the shape of the hat. Use cool to warm water, mild detergent only after testing in an inconspicuous area, and gently rub the spot with a clean washcloth.

Can I add my logo to an Imperial hat or visor?

Yes. Imperial Custom lets you add your logo to any Imperial style.
