13 Best Snap Backs (Review) In 2020

Our top choice is an undisputed classic you’ve seen around schools, colleges, basketball games, on the subway, and pretty much anywhere. The Adidas Originals Snapback Flatbrim Cap is available in a variety of colors and designs to suit your style, so if you want to be bold and stand out, you’re in good hands, and if you just need a simple hat to complete the look, they’ve got you covered, too.

The adjustable closure is reliable and will suit all head sizes, while the internal moisture wicking headband keeps your head cool in the sun. While breathable, it’s also made from thick and durable material to ensure longevity. The contrasting underbrim proves its authenticity and allows you to step out with confidence every time.

Another classic choice and the go-to for baseball fans all over the US, the New Era MLB Snapback Cap allows you to look good and represent your team at the same time. It’s more lightweight than the Adidas Originals, but you won’t get the variety of styles and colors, with a consistent heather graphite hat with varying brim colors with the team logo placed proudly on the front.

This isn’t a bad thing, though, and it may actually benefit it, making it ideal for anyone who needs a hat without wanting to attract too much attention to themselves. The adjustable design is great for those who thought they can’t wear hats at all, and the perforated vent holes around the top keep your head cool at the bottom of the ninth.

If you’ve ever played golf in your life, you’ll immediately understand how useful the Puma Golf P Snapback Hat can be. While other hats we’ve chosen fit a purely aesthetic purpose, this goes above and beyond that, looking great while still maintaining the spirit of the game but also being practical for easy visibility.

Unlike other snaps, the pre-curved bill protects your eyes better from the sun, and the ergonomic fabrics ensure complete comfort from the first tee to the 18th hole. It’s breathable, and the moisture-wicking sweatband keeps your focus on the pin and not the trickling of sweat down your forehead, while the adjustable back means it can fit everybody. 

If you’re not interested in snap backs that show off your favorite sports team, the Brixton JOLT Snapback is one of the best snap backs you can focus your money towards.

With a variety of modest colors, it’s great for chilling in the park, taking a stroll, or  attending gigs (just don’t lose it in the mosh pit). The structured crown helps it fit comfortably on your head, while adjustable closure gives you the ability to personalize it to suit your head size or even your hairstyle.

For something with better breathability, the Columbia Mesh Snap Back Hat is the perfect summer hat for unrivaled comfort all day long. The mesh back gives your head some respite from the beating sun while you make your way along the trail.

It’s designed to take a beating, too, with study construction and materials to give you a hat you can rely on through the most arduous trails around.

If you are or if you know someone who loves all things mountain biking, the New Era Troy Lee Designs KTM Team Snapback is a perfect gift.

Of course, we’ll hope you wear this under your helmet.

The mesh back delivers excellent breathability and comfort, which is excellent for more intense mountain trails, but there’s not as much variety color-wise, with only black or gray available. However, there are so many patches that this isn’t an issue, and these add a splash of personality and lets everyone know what you love and how much you love it.

The Coal The Hauler Mesh Trucker Snapback is a classic all-American option that is just as suitable for the backyard relaxing with a drink as it would be hurtling down the highway with just the sun and the horizon for company.

It fits well too, and it neither too loose nor too tight even on the lowest closure, making it ideal for those with buzz cuts or thicker hairstyles without messing up your hair too much.

For something a little simpler but no less fantastic, the Nike AeroBill is a classic design that goes with pretty much anything. The soft snap back closure is secure and provides a comfortable and easily adjustable fit suitable for all head sizes.

The lightweight construction boasts special AeroBill technology that provides moisture wicking properties to keep your head cool and dry, and while the laser perforated holes around the side panels ensure a breathable experience ideal for all-day wear.

Much like our MLB pick is an excellent choice for baseball fans, the New Era NFL Snapback is perfect for those who live, breathe, sleep, and eat football.

The authentic design ensures high quality construction to provide durability and longevity, and the adjustable closure provides optimal comfort. The colors are bold, but be aware they may not entirely match the pictures because of photo quality and other differences. This is a minor issue though, and shouldn’t take much away from what is a spectacular hat perfect for football lovers.
