From the Courts to the Courses
Summer doesn’t just bring longer days, it brings more time outside doing the activities we love most. And with those summer activities come hours of direct sun exposure, often during peak UV times of the day (10 am - 2 pm). The best line of defense against those harmful rays is a Wallaroo hat tailored to your outdoor activity of choice. Today we’re highlighting styles built for life on the courts and on the courses (tennis, pickleball, and golf) so you stay protected whether you’re chasing points or lining up putts. Game on—let’s find the sun‑protective sporty headwear that suits you.
Let’s Start on the Courts
Anyone who spends time on the courts knows that finding the perfect tennis or pickleball hat is always top of mind, and players will be thrilled to discover The Gabi. Available in both regular and petite sizing, this ponytail‑friendly fedora is as functional as it is fashionable, with flexi‑weave construction and UPF 50+ protection that stays put no matter how active you get on the court.
If visors are more your thing, you’ll love The Carkella Lily Visor made from Flexi-Weave fabric. It’s great for intense court play or even long afternoons watching matches. Lily Visor fans call it a must‑have accessory for on and off the courts.
Looking for more coverage and the same amount of style? The Casual Traveler is a great option. With its medium sized brim, coupled with lighter‑weight fabric and UPF 50+ protection, you have a stylish sun protective hat that stays in place no matter how intense your match gets.
Moving to the Fairways
Whether you’re playing rounds of golf or watching the competition from the gallery, you’ll want a hat that keeps you cool, sun-protected, and course‑ready. When it comes to golf hats, Wallaroo’s Carkella line is designed specifically with golfers in mind. Let’s start with the unisex Carkella Fairway Fedora. Our most popular option, it’s a hit among golfers thanks to its UPF 50+ protection, packable Flexi‑Weave construction, and a wide enough brim for sun coverage without impeding swing. The best part? The hat features a hidden magnet in the trim for a ball marker. No more digging around in your bag for a marker… it’s on your head! You can even get custom‑designed ball markers for your event or company! Unisex styling and sizing make it the perfect hat for all.
One of our most classic designs for the course is the Carkella Newhall. The modern fedora silhouette offers a striking mix of light and dark fibers for standout style, on and off the course. Its lightweight, packable Flexi‑Weave offers all‑day comfort and UPF 50+ sun protection, the perfect option on and off the course. Another great wide brim hat from the Wallaroo collection is The Summit, offering UPF 50 protection and a chin strap to keep your hat in place even in the breeziest rounds.
For ladies, The Greenwich is a packable fedora you can carry in your bag, while the Charlie offers a classic “golf‑resort” aesthetic, suited to slower‑paced or cart‑based play. Rounding out the list is the Victoria Cap, a baseball-type cap with a ponytail feature, and The Victoria, a lightweight sun hat available in 23 colors, that transitions well from the course to post‑golf cocktails or dinner.
Whether you’re on the courts or on the course, have fun, stay safe, and be sure you protect yourself from the sun! Since summer sports deliver plenty of thrills and plenty of sun exposure, be sure to choose a Wallaroo hat designed for your favorite outdoor activities.
And remember...
It's a sunny life. Wear your hat.
