Overview of the 5.11 Tactical Fleece Watch Cap | 89250
Warmth that stays comfortable
The 5.11 Tactical Watch Cap fleece watch cap (MPN 89250) keeps you warm when cold air, drizzle, and shifting temps hit your shift or your weekend plans. You get a soft polyester fleece build that feels smooth, resists pilling, and stays light on your head. The cap has a low profile, with a tonal, embossed 5.11 logo on the side and simple seam lines that help it sit close without bulk.
Ready for work and off-hours
This cap helps when wind cuts through a hood or when wet weather makes heavier knits feel soggy. The fleece does not soak up water easily, and it keeps warmth even when conditions turn damp. Police, corrections, EMS, and security teams wear it on early calls and night posts. Hunters, hikers, and range regulars pack it as the “always in the bag” layer for quick warmth.
