Colors and Fit --
I now have two of these Flexfit Multicam operators, one in woodland colors and one in multicam black. I collect military inspired caps, and these ops from Notch are some of my favorites. Not only are they low-profile, but they keep their shape because of the structured front panels. Both caps are sturdy, well-made, and I like the comfortable closed back of the Flexfit. If you wear your caps backwards, you’ll notice that the sweatband being more comfortable on your forehead than the plastic on a snapBack. My Woodland Multicam cap has received more compliments than any other cap I’ve worn.
Hook and Loop Ready --
These operator-style caps feature two hook and loop regions , one 1 7/8” x 3” on the front and a 1” x 1” square on the top center of the cap instead of a button. This flat area not only holds a patch but also feels more comfortable if you’re wearing headphones or shooter’s earmuffs over the hat’s crown.
Notch vs Notchless --
What about the notches? The idea is to find a way to that the hat’s brim not to press down on your glasses. Myself, I go notchless, because I couldn’t find a solution that fit with my glasses. But many other customers report being quite satisfied! And for me, these two notchless hats are among my best. As for the notches, Notch Gear offers two different designs, which feature the cutouts at two offset-distances from the cap’s crown. Plus, the company will work with you to create a custom notch setting. I appreciate the customer service there, but for myself, I have begun to look for lower-profile eyewear instead.
Conclusion --
Even though my Notch-gear hats are notchless, I still feel that these are the most comfortable and best looking operator-style caps I’ve seen. I plan to order more colorways and keep up as Notch Gear offers new designs.
