Helikon-Tex Baseball Cap Ripstop — Olive Green

The Helikon-Tex Baseball Cap Ripstop is an adjustable tactical cap in lightweight ripstop fabric, designed for those who operate or train in hot conditions and want to keep their head free of bulky gear. Weighing 85 g, it adds nothing meaningful to your loadout and fits comfortably under most protective systems and helmets used in LE and military contexts, thanks to its medium-depth profile that clears the rear retention cradle without interference.

The front, top and rear panels are lined with loop velcro: they can carry ID patches, morale patches or other compatible accessories. The front panel measures 7x4 cm, the top panel 6x5.5 cm, the rear panel 4.5x4 cm, and the adjustment strap offers an additional usable surface of 8x2.5 cm. This setup lets you swap configurations without any sewing or extra velcro, though it is worth noting that loop velcro holds patches reliably under normal conditions, but under heavy physical exertion or in dense vegetation it can catch unintentionally on surrounding materials — a trade-off worth considering compared to a cap without panels.

Ripstop construction provides better tear resistance than plain cotton while keeping weight down and allowing airflow in warm conditions. The cap has no water-repellent or waterproof treatment: it is optimised for heat and ventilation, not rain.
