Best golf bucket hats
Stand out from the crowd with one of golf’s most iconic piece of apparel!
Where would the game of golf be today without the iconic bucket hat? Weather-beaten, that’s where.
Although humble in appearance, bucket hats serve numerous essential purposes when it comes to protecting yourself from Mother Nature.
Caught up in a rain shower? Wear a bucket hat and keep your head dry. Stuck in the sun? No problem, a bucket hat will not only protect your head but also your neck, which is what a golf cap can’t do.
Golf caps are great for other things that bucket hats aren’t so great for, so if you’re after one of them, check out our best golf caps buying guide here.
