Caps

A cap covers your whole head from the sun, while a visor shades your eyes and lets heat escape from the top of your head, which many players prefer on hot days or with a ponytail. Popular visors include the Selkirk Sport Performance Pickleball Visor and Red Label Camo Stretch Visor, and the Head Pro Player Women's Visor. Shop all caps and visors.

Popular choices include the Selkirk Performance Core Hat, Amped Trucker Cap, Red Label Stretch Fit Hat, and Red Label Camo Jockey and Sport Trucker Performance Hats, plus the Head Pro Player Cap. Look for a lightweight, breathable, sweat-wicking hat that stays put when you move quickly.

Performance hats are made from lightweight, breathable technical fabrics that wick sweat and dry quickly, often with a sweatband to keep sweat out of your eyes. A regular cotton cap gets heavy and hot as you sweat. That's why players choose performance styles like the Selkirk Performance Core Hat for long outdoor sessions.

A hat should feel snug enough to stay on when you run and turn quickly, without pressing on your forehead. Adjustable caps and visors let you fine-tune the fit with a strap or snap closure, while stretch-fit styles, like the Selkirk Red Label Stretch Fit Hat, come in sizes and hug the head without a strap. Check the size details on each product.

Always check the care label first. Most performance hats and visors are best hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent, then air-dried on a rounded object to keep their shape. Avoid the dryer, which can shrink the fabric or warp the brim. To keep sweat odours away, try Captodor products.

Yes, it's a great combination. The brim blocks overhead sun, while sunglasses cut glare and protect your eyes from UV when you look up for lobs and overheads. Many players also wear protective eyewear to guard against fast balls at the kitchen line.
