Overview of the 5.11 Tactical Flag Bearer Cap tactical cap | 89406

Everyday comfort with a tactical look

You want a cap that feels good all day and still looks professional. The 5.11 Tactical Flag Bearer Cap tactical cap, model 89406, gives you a stylish and comfortable alternative to everyday headwear that fits right in on duty, at the range, or off the clock. Built from 100 percent cotton canvas and enzyme washed, it feels broken in from the first wear while staying tough for daily use. The soft crown, traditional six panel configuration, and Buckram front linings keep the shape clean and structured without feeling stiff.

Custom front loop field and 5.11 branding

Across the front panel, a large loop field lets you attach hook backed flag and morale patches in seconds. You can swap identifiers as your role, unit, or assignment changes. Subtle 5.11 logos appear at the back adjustment, on the center front patch area, at the top of the crown, and along the center seam binding, so the cap stays branded without looking busy. Law enforcement, EMS, military, and security users appreciate how easily it blends with uniforms and plate carriers.

Built for heat, weather, and long shifts

This premium cap is designed for all weather performance with lightweight comfort. An integrated wicking jersey sweatband at the forehead, backed by a foam insert, helps keep you cool and dry on hot days and during active work. Embroidered eyelets at the crown add ventilation, while the high curve brim cuts glare in bright conditions. Eight rows of stitching on the bill support long term shape retention. With a one size fits most adjustable fit and color options in Kangaroo tan, Ranger Green, Black, and Dark Navy, it drops into almost any duty or casual kit.

Compatibility

The 5.11 Tactical Flag Bearer Cap is designed as a one size fits most tactical cap with an adjustable rear closure. It fits most adult head sizes and hair styles for patrol, training, and off duty wear. Users at the extreme high or low end of standard hat sizing may want to confirm fit, but the adjustment range suits most people comfortably.

The front loop field accepts common hook backed flag and morale patches that many law enforcement, EMS, military, and shooting users already own. While exact loop dimensions are not listed, it is designed to fit standard rectangular flag patches and similar identifiers (assumed based on typical 5.11 design).

Ideal environments include daily patrol, station wear, range days, firearms training, outdoor events, and casual use. The cap is not ballistic rated, not flame resistant, and does not replace required PPE. For agencies or units with strict uniform regulations, always confirm approved colors, logo placement, and patch style before wearing it on duty.

Intended Users

This cap is made for people who work and train in demanding environments and want gear that matches their pace.

• Law enforcement officers who need a professional cap that accepts flag or agency patches while standing up to long shifts and changing weather.

• EMS and fire personnel who wear caps around the station, during training, and off duty while keeping a clean, uniform friendly look.

• Military members, security contractors, and protective details who use hook and loop patches to match units, flags, or mission identifiers.

• Firearms instructors, competitive shooters, and range staff who spend hours in the sun and need a reliable cap with a high curve brim and good ventilation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Flag Bearer Cap

Question 1: Does the 5.11 Tactical Flag Bearer Cap include a flag patch?

No. The cap arrives with a large loop field on the front, but it does not typically include a separate removable flag patch. You can add your own hook backed flag, morale, or unit patch so the cap matches your uniform and assignment.

Question 2: Is the Flag Bearer Cap comfortable for all day wear in hot weather?

Yes. The enzyme washed cotton canvas feels soft from the start, and the wicking jersey sweatband with foam insert helps manage sweat at the forehead. Embroidered eyelets in the crown improve airflow so the cap remains comfortable during long shifts, training days, or range sessions in warm conditions.

Question 3: How structured is the front of the cap with Buckram linings?

The Flag Bearer Cap uses a six panel soft crown fit combined with Buckram front linings. The Buckram gives the front panels enough structure to support patches and hold shape, while the soft crown keeps the cap from feeling overly rigid. It strikes a balance between a floppy unstructured cap and a stiff dress cover.

Question 4: What head sizes will the one size fits most design cover?

The adjustable rear closure gives you a wide fit range that works for most adult head sizes. If you usually wear standard medium through large hats, this cap should fit well once adjusted. If your head size is unusually small or large, comparing measurements to a favorite hat or trying one on locally is the safest approach.

Question 5: Which color should I choose for duty use?

For law enforcement and many security roles, Dark Navy or Black are often the safest choices to match uniforms. Kangaroo tan and Ranger Green pair well with tactical outerwear, plate carriers, and range clothing. Always check your department or unit policy before selecting a color for on duty use. You can then add an approved patch to the front loop field to complete the setup.
