When the air gets crisp and the woods turn quiet, hunters across the country know it’s time to gear up. At Outdoor Cap, hunting season isn't just a mark on the calendar; it’s a tradition. This season, we want to highlight our Camo + Blaze collection, which is as hearty as Jamie’s Elk Chili.
Whether you're heading into the backwoods, posted in a blind, or chasing whitetail through the open brush, this season is all about preparation and flavor.
New Season, Classic Gear
The Outdoor Cap Camo Collection is back and ready for whatever your hunt brings. Our lineup features field-tested styles like the 301IS multi-pattern cap for optimal concealment, and high-visibility options like the 201ISP Blaze cap.
These caps are made for long days outdoors, with comfortable fits, breathable mesh backs, and closures that hold up through early mornings and late nights. Each item in the Camo + Blaze collection embodies the values important to cap wearers: durability, functionality, and timeless style.
From Mississippi to Minnesota, this is the headwear that’s trusted by outfitters, sportsmen, and retailers who know what works in the wild.
