Tennis visors
Visors solve the same problems as caps — sun glare, brow sweat, and hair — but with an open top that lets heat escape from your head. For players who hate the warmth of a full cap on hot summer days, visors are noticeably cooler. They're particularly popular among women players where ponytail integration is also an issue. Babolat's Elastic Visor is the most-sold tennis visor in Australia; junior visors are also available.
How to choose
For comfort on hot days, the open-top design is the main draw. Babolat Elastic Visors come in multiple colourways to match your Babolat racquet. For full-cover sun protection, see our tennis caps page.
Frequently asked questions
Visor vs cap — which is better in summer?
Visors are cooler since heat escapes from the open top. Caps offer more crown sun protection. Personal preference and skin sensitivity.
Are visors adjustable?
Most are — elastic at the back or velcro/buckle adjustment. One-size-fits-most.
Do tennis visors work with ponytails?
Yes — the open top accommodates ponytails and longer hair without flattening it. A common reason women players prefer visors.
Can I wash a tennis visor?
Yes — most are machine-washable on cool. Air dry to preserve the brim shape.
What's the most popular tennis visor?
The Babolat Elastic Visor — available in multiple colourways including White/Estate Blue, Angel Blue/White and Black/White.
