I have never used either in a race but our club is putting an order in and I am not sure which one I will purchase and use more. So I figured I would see what the masses use and why they like it.

I would prefer a visor, but my bald head requires the hat.

Visor-need the heat to escape my head but the band of the visor to soak up all the sweat.  Plus, I can get the natural sun-kissed highlights in my hair!

is this a poll? 

I have both and use both depends on the weather and my hair condition.  I like headsweats a lot.

Visor for most races.  The only reason I would change to a hat is for the really hot races, you can put ice in the hat and put it on your head.  Works as a good cooling method, otherwise I prefer the open top of a visor.

x2, or..umm, how many of us baldies have responded by now?

I'm rather light complected and lacking natural coverage on the top of my head, so I almost always run with my head covered, even on some overcast days.

Personally I don't really prefer either... I'm not a fan of running with anything on my head.  However, when it will be raining or if it is super hot out I'll wear a VISOR.

In the rain it keeps most of the water out of my eyes, and on the hot days (typically in races) I tuck wet sponges in there to try to keep cool.

I don't own any visors, so I'm going with hat. Shaved head needs sun protection.

Wish I could wear a visor; short haircut with bangs requires a hat. A visor looks ridiculous on me.
