Many people avoid baseball caps when it is particularly hot or humid, because they tend to cause the head to become overheated, sweaty, itchy and uncomfortable. One way to get the benefits associated with baseball caps without any of the potential annoyances is to utilize visors. These versatile hats are virtually identical to standard baseball caps with one exception- they lack the domed top. Visors are ideal for a variety of sport and non-sport related uses, tend to be less expensive than standard baseball caps, and come in a virtually limitless array of colors and designs.
Many baseball and particularly women's softball teams have transitioned to baseball caps visors in lieu of traditional baseball caps because they allow players to remain quite a bit cooler, while still shielding eyes from the suns blinding rays. These visors are easily customizable, and can often be purchased wholesale or in bulk at deep discounts. You can generally get your visors individualized and/or personalized extremely easily, either directly from the manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer; or you can take them to one of the numerous stores and kiosks that specialize in creating personalized products. One thing to keep in mind when submitting customization requests is to make sure that you have license to print and/or modify any logo or other graphic you want included on your hats.
Depending on your budget and needs, you can generally choose to have your visors customized via printing or embroidery. Embroidery, obviously, tends to be the more expensive of the two choices. However, this is a case of getting what you pay for, as embroidery also tends to look more professional, be longer lasting, and withstand more abuse.
Finally, visors are not just popular among sports players; they have made quite a name for themselves in the service industry for use as part of uniforms. Many companies, both large and small, have incorporated the visors into their standard uniforms.
