The LaRue Tactical Cotton Ball Cap With Adjustable Strap (Khaki) is a purpose-built tactical range ball cap designed for shooting sports, tactical training, and hunting. Constructed from 100% cotton, this low-profile cap eliminates common pressure points and gear interference typical of standard headwear. It provides sun protection across outdoor environments while directly integrating with over-ear hearing protection, reverse-clip lights, and safety eyewear.

Key Features

• Buttonless Crown: Eliminates the standard metal top button and replaces it with a smooth crown, preventing painful pressure points under the headband of over-the-head earmuffs and electronic hearing protection.
• Light Integration Port: Features a dedicated cutout at the right base of the visor designed to mount compact reverse-retention flashlights directly to the brim without obstructing the user's line of sight.
• Eyewear Retention Loops: Includes two sewn-in side utility loops to anchor the frame arms of sunglasses or ballistic safety glasses, preventing them from shifting or interfering with hearing protection ear cups.
• Anti-Chafing Ventilation: Replaces traditional metal or brass grommets with sewn-in thread reinforcements to maintain airflow without creating hot spots.

Who is the LaRue Tactical Cotton Ball Cap for?

• Range shooters using active electronic earmuffs — Built from 100% cotton with a completely buttonless crown, this tactical range ball cap eliminates pressure points when wearing over-the-ear headband headsets during extended shooting sessions.
