Magpul Merino Waffle Watch Cap - Amber

Merino Waffle Watch Cap

The Magpul Merino Waffle Watch Cap is a close-fitting knit cap for cold mornings at the range, in the field, or around town. A watch cap is the snug, cuffed knit hat sailors wore while standing watch, and the shape has stayed in use because it covers the head and ears without bulk. This one is knit from a merino wool and acrylic blend in a waffle texture, finished in Amber with a Magpul patch on the cuff.

Features

• Merino Wool Blend — The yarn combines merino wool, a fine and soft grade of wool, with acrylic.
• Waffle Knit Texture — The fabric is knit in a grid of small raised squares that gives the cap its textured surface.
• Fold-Up Cuff — A deep turned-up band puts a double layer of knit across the forehead and over the ears.
• Classic Watch Cap Profile — The cap sits close to the head with a gathered, tapered crown rather than a slouch or a pom-pom.
• Magpul Logo Patch — A brown patch with a black Magpul wordmark is stitched to the front of the cuff.
• Amber Colorway — The warm mustard-gold shade stands out from the usual black, coyote and olive tones of tactical headwear.

Build and Materials

Magpul pairs merino wool with acrylic in this cap, so you get wool in the knit along with a synthetic fiber in the blend. The waffle stitch runs through both the crown and the cuff, and the cuff can be worn folded up or pulled down depending on how much coverage you want. The patch is small and placed low on the cuff, which keeps the branding understated.
