And why?
Hat. Keeps the sun off your head and gives you a place to put ice, wet sponges, etc. to keep you cool. Get the Peaceful Tribe one while you’re at it.

Hat. I have a Nike Cool max running hat and it is the most comfortable thing. I wear it everywhere.
I have assumed that a visor allows the heat from your head to escape easier, while still absorbing sweat and keeping the sun off of your eyes. I could be wrong. It happened once.
I’ve never really understood the point of the visor. The hats are so light and cool and breathable, I can’t think that the visor is going to be cooler. And with the hat you can stick ice under it, and you get more sun protection. I think it’s a no-brainer.

If you’re not going bald, a visor will give that great Lyle Lovett look!
go for the Peaceful Trbe hat. They’re very light weight and washable.
Buy a tribe hat from Heather. It’s a great hat.
i prefer the hat, because the sun will make my hair and head hot. i was saying last night i might switch, just to catch the end of summer sun for pretty highlights in my hair…lol.
Yeah, I’ll second that. If you’re bald like me the visor look is pretty bad.
visor. More comfortable for me and I don’t like the feeling of hats. I find they are too hot. Even the coolmax ones.
For the record, I rub the ice on my wrists to cool myself off. Works much better than on your head.
a hat. keeps you from getting sun burned scalp.
St. Louis cardinals Visor.
Keep sweat off the brow, getting the eyebrows, and eventually into the eyes.
The visor, unlike the hat, allows heat to escape.
This is the first time in my life I’ve ever worn a visor. As a lifelong baseball player it’s almost anti-religious.
Hat. If you’ve got thinning hair, a visor just isn’t providing the kind of protection you need up there.
And I’ve never noticed an appreciable difference in heat retention with a running hat.
A visor is ‘supposedly’ 30% cooler. I wore on this year at LP, not sure it made a difference, but I never felt
‘hot’ like when I wear a hat. just my experience with them.
visor. I sweat like mad, and I can feel the difference running with a hat vs. a visor.
That said, my hairline is receeding to a point that the visor needs to be placed, not just tossed on. a few more years, I’ll be in a hat wether I like it or not.
Hat, a visor makes you look like a wanker or worst, a golfer!!
My Gilligans hat. :o)

I agree. Visor is the exclusive domain of golfers, sailboaters or rap stars (turned sideways). It has no business in the tri world.
Smitty, I’m going to send bad juju your way if you don’t buy a ST hat from Heather.
