A hat with increased resistance to lift includes a crown forming a generally hemispherical portion configured to cover a head of a person. A visor extends outwardly from the crown in a generally horizontal direction and is configured to provide shade. The visor includes an aperture and a mesh material arranged in the aperture and attached to the visor at edges of the aperture. Alternately, the visor includes a visor board and N holes passing through the visor board, where N is an integer in a range from 4 to 100. The mesh material and/or the N holes equalize pressure on a bottom surface relative to a top surface of the visor by allowing air to pass from the bottom surface through the mesh material to the top surface.
