Good Shooting Caps for Ear Muffs

[geeollie]

When I wear muffs I always wear a "ball cap". The little button at the top of the cap gets pushed down and bothers me.
I went looking for caps that do not have that button AND is made in USA. Red White Blue Apparel is what now wear.

I've never had a problem with the top of a ball cap being pressed down by ear muffs. It never even occurred to me. Interesting!!!

Nice long bill also.

I always like the KUHL brand if hats. The Renegade or Uberkuhl style.

I just swing the headband of the muffs down to the back of my head.

I use custom made ear plugs, so no problems. A utility cover (hat) will work.

I had the problem of the button on top of the hats, so I used a pair of side cutters (wire cutter), slid them under the buttons and pried them off. Takes about a minute.

This is what I do as well

Never been a big fan of baseball caps, didn't like the baseball cap they gave us in the Army either. I did however like the field cap with ear flaps. When I was stationed in Germany I never wore the issued baseball cap and only wore the field cap. Nobody ever gave me any grief, I had the odd Seargeant ask me where my baseball cap was I told him that I kept it in the locker with my bat and glove. I still have one of those caps around somewhere but most often prefer to wear a proper hat when the weather gets cooler. I prefer the "driver's cap" to the baseball cap and just never caught on, a proper hat will keep the weather off more than just your glasses.

Are there still quality ear muffs made that fit around the back of the head? When I wear a hat I would rather wear my Indiana Jones fedora for better protection from the sun.

My problem with mail-order hats is "one size fits all" or "most." When you have a size 8 head you best try 'em on first. Any thoughts on how big these hats run? Once in a great while I'll find a "one size fits most" that is pretty close to adequate.

For that very reason I bought this:

For full protection of your face, eyes ears and head from flying brass at the range

Flat cap. No button.

I do have one set of behind the head shooting muffs, they are made by 3M Peltior. I like them because they are electronic and work to enhance what little hearing I have left when I have them on. I believe they call them tactical models because most of the type that wear them need a headcover like a ball cap, might be just what your looking for. I just use plugs in my ears anymore.

Shooting or running any of the loud power equipment I own, the hearing muff/cap button dilemma only lasts as long as it takes me to rotate the head-strap back or forward about an inch.

Love these. Inexpensive but really work well.
