Visors

adidas Visors

For golfers, tennis players, runners and anyone else who spends a significant amount of time out in the sun, visors are more than an accessory. They're an indispensable piece of equipment you need to protect your game and your health. Seeing clearly on a sunny day can make the difference between serving an ace and a fault, or shooting par and averaging a bogey for each hole. And aside from the critical advantages a good visor brings to your play, it also offers serious medical benefits to your eyes and skin — and it can give you a clean and professional look while you do what you love. adidas has a wide range of visors for women's sports and men's sports, featuring different silhouettes, materials, fits and graphics.

Good tennis visors and golf visors improve your vision on the court or the putting green by blocking out the sun. But they also reduce the time you spend squinting, which wastes much-needed energy. Staying relaxed is key to putting and serving well, and a visor can minimize the unnecessary tension and energy you exert by straining your eyes and face muscles. More importantly, a visor's curved brim shields your eyes from chronic sunlight exposure, which can cause cataracts. Visors also reduce the risk of skin cancer by covering your face, and choosing an adidas visor with a UV factor of 50 or higher is a particularly wise move for those with fair skin or a family history of vision problems. But keep in mind that while a large-brim visor typically provides more protection for your eyes and face than a standard hat might, it will also leave the top of your head exposed. This could be seen as an advantage for those who have a thick head of hair, as a visor will show off your tresses, whereas a hat might mess them up. Plus a visor will help keep you cool by exposing your head to the breeze and minimizing the discomfort of a sweaty scalp. But for those with thin hair or shaved heads, a scalp-covering hat might actually be a better choice, as a burned scalp can seriously spoil what would otherwise have been a glorious day on the green.

If you're confident that a visor is the right kind of protective headwear for your needs, choosing the ideal tennis visor or golf visor will depend on your color preference as well as head and face shape. adidas offers a variety of visor brim sizes, allowing you to balance considerations of sheer aesthetics with coverage for your eyes and skin. Our visor color palette ranges from bright white to dark black, as different athletes prefer different ends of the color spectrum. While visors in light tones might keep you cool by reflecting sunlight, some studies suggest that darker colors are actually better at protecting your skin from UV radiation. Regardless of their color or silhouette, one unifying factor of all adidas visors is that they're very comfortable. Our visors are typically made with lightweight cotton or a polyester and elastane blend, and they might feature mesh side panels for added ventilation. A cotton sweatband lining helps absorb perspiration while keeping the visor soft against your forehead.

One last benefit of buying a golf or tennis visor is that it's relatively easy to find a size that fits you. adidas visors are typically one size fits most, with either a classic clamp-on band or an adjustable strap to fit your head. You don't have to go through the annoyance of measuring your head size at home before you order. Simply choose the style that you think is most attractive, and then order from our broad selection of visors today.
