The ifrothgolf review
A six-panel flat-brim golf cap from adidas with a snapback closure, built from a recycled jacquard plain-weave fabric and finished with a moisture-wicking inner sweatband. It is the structured, slightly bolder cousin to adidas' usual curved performance caps.
What's great
For under twenty pounds you get a genuinely sharp, structured front panel and a flat brim that holds its shape rather than flopping after a few rounds. The snapback means one size genuinely does fit most heads, so there is no sizing guesswork, and the sweatband does a decent job of keeping perspiration off your brow during a warm round. The recycled-content fabric is a quiet plus if that matters to you.
Worth knowing
Snapback flat-brim styling is divisive and reads more streetwear than traditional golf, so it will not suit everyone or every club dress code. The plastic snap closure can leave an imprint on your forehead or hair after a long day, and the structured crown sits taller than a soft curved cap, so it catches wind more on exposed links. It runs on the firmer side, so do not expect the soft slouch of an unstructured cap.
The verdict
A solid budget pick if you actually want the flat-brim tour look and an adjustable fit. If you prefer a low-profile curved cap or play somewhere with a stricter dress code, look elsewhere, but for the money the build quality is better than the price suggests.
