Condor Tactical Cap
Condor Tactical Gear is a company that specializes in tactical vests, plate carriers, modular pouches, packs...etc.
Their equipment is a marvel of engineering and worth checking out.
Of course I love techie type equipment anyway, and I like the various Condor pieces of equipment that I have acquired over time.
One of the Condor pieces that I own is this tactical Kryptek Typhon cap.
This cap has 3 hook & loop panels for patches, and this is one of the reasons that I was attracted to this hat the first time I looked at it.
I realized that there were various items that I could easily attach to the cap, and change them out as easily.
One of these options is my Black Diamond headlamp that you possibly also own, as they are extremely popular due to how handy they are.
Whether your using it for going down the trail while hiking at night, or around the campsite, or in your tent, around the house when the power goes out, or looking up under the dash of your vehicle, or while working under the hood, or reading a book, or....well you get it, I don't leave home without my headlamp that has both a variable output white light, as well as a variable red light, both of which may be used as strobes.
I realized this light was the perfect accessory for my cap, and after removing the strap, and then cutting a piece of Velcro to size, and sticking it in place on the bracket that allows for adjustment of the light as to the angle required for the job at hand, I was good to go.
When I need the option of a headllamp, it takes a second with one free hand to install it in place on the cap that is already on my head, and the light is just as easily removed.
You can also place one of the tiny red LED lights that are readily available on the rear panel as well for the times your doing public service work, and your possibly out directing traffic and want to keep yourself safe.
The Velcro patches on this cap are also a great place to display your callsign badge when required.
