Duty-Ready Design

The 5.11 Tactical Uniform Hat - Adjustable, model 89260 (ABR), gives you lightweight comfort and superior durability in virtually any environment. It uses a poly-cotton twill fabric that resists fading, so your cap keeps a clean, uniform look through long shifts, regular washing, and harsh station lighting. The fabric in the photos appears smooth and tightly woven, which supports daily patrol, fireground support, and EMS work. A DWR finish, updated to be PFAS-free, helps repel light moisture, spills, and soil.

Professional Appearance

Buckram lining on the inside and buckram-lined front panels create a structured, secure fit that looks sharp at roll call and in front of the public. A traditional six-panel construction and curved brim match standard agency guidelines for patrol, station, and range wear. Integrated eyelets on the crown provide ventilation to keep you more comfortable during hot calls and training days.

Customizable Comfort

The fully adjustable hook-and-loop rear strap and open back let you dial in a one-size-fits-most fit quickly, even over short hair or under a hood. Blank front panels accept embroidery and silk screening, so you can add department logos, unit identifiers, or security company branding. Available in black, dark navy, and TDU green, this 5.11 Uniform Cap ties in with common law enforcement, fire, EMS, and security uniform color schemes.

Compatibility

This 5.11 Tactical Uniform Hat Adjustable cap coordinates with standard police, fire, EMS, and security uniforms in black, dark navy, and TDU green. It pairs well with duty shirts, job shirts, station wear, and outerwear that use similar colorways.

The blank front panels and structured design are compatible with most embroidery and silk-screen shops that work on caps with buckram-supported fronts. The adjustable hook-and-loop closure covers a broad range of head sizes, though users with very small or very large heads may prefer to test fit first.

The cap works best in patrol, station, range, and training environments where a professional, branded headwear option is needed. It is not intended to replace helmets, bump caps, or any kind of ballistic or impact protective headgear.

Intended Users

This cap is built for professionals who rely on a uniform to identify them instantly in the field. Police officers, sheriff’s deputies, corrections officers, probation officers, detectives, and security guards can wear it on patrol, at the range, or during community events. Armed security officers and bounty hunters or bail enforcement agents gain a durable, low-profile cap that takes embroidery cleanly for company logos or “Security” text.

EMTs and paramedics can match the hat to their agency’s station wear while still enjoying lightweight comfort and ventilation. Firefighters appreciate a cap that holds up at the station and during rehab while maintaining a clean, structured look. Search and rescue personnel can choose TDU green for field work where subdued colors matter. The one-size-fits-most fit makes bulk agency ordering simple for academies, training units, and security teams.

Frequently Asked Questions about Uniform Hat - Adjustable

Question 1: How does the one size fits most fit compare to other caps?

The 5.11 Uniform Cap uses a fully adjustable hook-and-loop rear strap, so it fits a wide range of adult head sizes similar to other adjustable duty caps. Most users who wear standard adjustable or flex-fit hats will find a comfortable setting, though extremely small or very large hat sizes may want to adjust and test fit before wearing on duty.

Question 2: Can I customize the front with my department logo or security branding?

Yes. The cap has blank, buckram-lined front panels designed to accept embroidery and silk screening. Your uniform shop can add department crests, rank, company names, or “Security” text while the cap maintains its structured, professional appearance.

Question 3: Is the finish really resistant to spills and stains?

The cap uses a durable water repellent finish that helps shed light rain and resist many common liquids, which makes cleanup easier after everyday incidents. It is not fully waterproof, but it will slow down saturation and help prevent permanent staining during routine patrol, EMS, or station use.

Question 4: Is this hat suitable for firefighters and EMS personnel?

Yes. The 5.11 Tactical Uniform Hat Adjustable cap works very well for EMS professionals and firefighters who need a durable, professional-looking cap for station wear, rehab, and community events. The lightweight build, ventilation eyelets, and structured look make it ideal for fire and EMS crews that also want agency branding on the front.

Question 5: What environments is this cap designed for?

The cap is designed for everyday duty use in virtually any environment, from city patrol streets to rural search and rescue operations. It performs best in typical weather ranges, with the DWR finish helping in light rain or mist. For severe weather, heavy precipitation, or high-impact activities, you should pair it with suitable rain gear or protective headwear as required by your agency.
