Kombat UK Operators Cap

Kombat UK Operators Cap - Ripstop Baseball Cap

This Kombat UK Operators Cap features polycotton ripstop construction that won't tear when snagged on branches during bushcraft activities. The adjustable rear strap fits heads from 56-62cm, while Velcro patches let you customize identification. From our Men's Headwear collection, available exclusively to UK customers.

Ripstop Construction Benefits

Unlike standard cotton caps that tear easily, this polycotton ripstop fabric stops small tears from spreading. Essential when pushing through dense British woodland or scrambling over rocky terrain in the Lake District. The weave pattern distributes stress across the fabric, maintaining cap integrity during rough outdoor use.

Velcro Patch System

Front panel features loop Velcro for attaching identification patches, group badges, or personal markers. Useful for group camping trips where everyone needs to identify their gear quickly. The Kombat embroidery provides a base design, but you can cover it with your own patches as needed.

Practical Fit Details

Adjustable rear strap accommodates different head sizes without the pressure points of fitted caps. The baseball cap design provides sun protection for face and neck during long hiking days. Lightweight at just 200g, it packs flat in your rucksack without taking up valuable space.

Colour Applications

Black: Doesn't show dirt, practical for extended camping trips without washing facilities.
Olive Green: Blends with British vegetation during wildlife observation and photography.

Practical Questions

Will the ripstop fabric actually prevent tears during bushcraft activities?

Yes, the ripstop weave stops small snags from becoming large tears when the cap catches on thorns or branches during woodland activities.

What size Velcro patches fit on the front panel?

The front loop panel accommodates standard military-style patches up to approximately 8cm x 5cm, perfect for identification or group badges.

How does the adjustment system work for different head sizes?

The rear strap uses traditional baseball cap adjustment with multiple holes, allowing fine-tuning for heads between 56-62cm circumference.

Is the polycotton ripstop breathable enough for active hiking?

The polycotton blend provides better breathability than pure synthetic materials while maintaining the tear-resistance benefits of ripstop construction.

Which colour works best for wildlife photography in UK woodlands?

Olive Green blends most effectively with British vegetation, helping you remain inconspicuous during wildlife observation and photography sessions.
