The patrol cap is a type of headgear distinguished by a stiffened, rounded visor. It originated in the 1940s, among units of the US armed forces fighting in the Korean War. Patrol caps are dedicated to munitions personnel, but also to all outdoor enthusiasts.
When spending time outdoors, patrol caps protect the head from sunstroke and other weather conditions. In addition, they also help keep hair out of your face during physical activities. They are characterized by high resistance to tears and abrasions, as they are made of cotton and polyester, among other materials. Some models are equipped with velcro strips that allow you to attach patches of your choice, which gives the cap an individual character. In addition, on the sides, the manufacturer has equipped the caps with ventilation holes, which allow air to flow freely. Patrol caps are available in camouflages such as PL Woodland, MAPA, or Mandrake. MAPA camouflage is a particularly distinctive type of camouflage, as it reproduces the colors found in the forests of Central Europe from late spring to early autumn. This ensures staying safe and unnoticed during military operations or hunting expeditions in similar environments.
In our store you will find patrol caps from manufacturers such as Condor, Helikon, Maskpol, Mil-tec, and Texar. They will perform well in the rain and heat, and are great headgear for the military, outdoor fans, or uniformed and police classes.
