Tropical Camo Field Cap with Flap

Desert Field Cap

The Mil-Tec Tropical Camo Field Cap is a ball-cap style field cap with a fabric flap at the back that hangs down over your neck and the sides of your head. The flap keeps sun off skin that a standard cap leaves exposed, which matters on a range, a long hike or any day spent outside in strong light. It is printed in the German tropical pattern, so it matches desert-pattern uniforms and gear.

Features

• Attached Neck Flap — A long rear panel hangs from the back of the crown and covers the neck and the lower sides of the head against sun and wind.
• Tropical Camo Pattern — The three-colour print of sand, brown and green spots follows the German army's desert pattern, often called tropentarn.
• Ripstop Fabric — The cloth is woven with a reinforcing grid, visible as fine squares, so a small snag cannot run into a large tear.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — Cotton gives a soft feel against the skin, and polyester adds strength and helps the cap hold its shape.
• Ventilation Eyelets — Small stitched eyelets in the crown panels let heat escape from the top of the head.
• Curved Brim — A pre-curved peak shades the eyes and face and keeps glare down when looking downrange or across open ground.
• Paneled Crown — The crown is built from stitched panels for a rounded fit that sits close to the head.

Build And Materials

Mil-Tec is a German commercial maker of military-style clothing and kit, so this is a new-made cap in the pattern rather than government-issue surplus. The shell is a cotton and polyester ripstop with stitched seams along each crown panel, the brim and the edge of the flap. It pairs naturally with tropentarn shirts, trousers and field gear, and works on its own as a sun cap for outdoor work, shooting or travel.
