Previously only available via pre-order, the Forager Cap is now in stock in both Ranger Green and Manatee Grey which joins Coyote, Black and MultiCam.
The Forager Cap has a slightly longer brim than other caps which gives extra shade and has a preformed fold in that makes storing it in your pocket flat and easy. The front of the cap has a light weight breathable low nap pile from Velcro that will let you put a FS Cell Tag, PVC Patch or leave the FS Embroidered Logo present. Additionally, eye glass channels on the front and back keep your eye pro in place.
Ventilation, and wicking properties with the ultra light weight mesh liner and a generous amount of adjustment on the back hook strap coupled with a small amount of stretch make for a great comfortable fit.
Below are the new color options, Manatee Grey first and then Ranger Green.
Here is a sizing chart.

I’d be all over the Multicam variant if it didn’t have the gigantic Velcro patch on the front. Hell, I might still get it if the Velcro can be cut off without ruining the hat. Anyone know if the loop is just attached to the front, or if it’s an integral part of the hat itself?
Another option for you could be the OR Research radar hat in multicam, doesn’t have all the bing of this hat but it folds up and is only 15 dollars.
Integral part of hat.
That’s what’s kept me from buying one as well. Plain front MC and I’d be in.
First Spear should consider selling it with a “Cover up” piece made from the same material. That way the huge Velcro piece can be covered up when not in use or the wearer doesn’t want the look of exposed Velcro.
Or better yet, offer some with out the Velcro at all as an option.
Just bought the UF Pro Boonie…this will be the next hat.
Heads up (pun intended)! I bought one of these hats and the design and attention to detail that went into it are awesome. Unfortunately, they run small; with the band disconnected it still wouldn’t fit on my head. If you have a big cranium then look somewhere else or hopefully First Spear can make bigger sizes.
Did you order the standard or low-pro size? Low-Pro size is definitely smaller and shorter crown for average person.
Standard size…
Yeah, i got the standard and it’s still tight unbuckled. i wear a 7 3/4-7 5/8 in new eras.
But does it come in Feldgrau?
You plan on dying on the Eastern Front my friend?
These are pretty slick hats. It has become my and my son’s adventure hat. I size it down for him on backpacking trips and wear it at work when I am away. I did a video review of them here if it helps anyone visually… https://kitbadger.com/forager-cap/
I’m normally a coyote brown/tan person but I’m liking the looks of their Ranger Green, that’s assuming that the colors in the pics are representative of what they look like in real life. I like that it’s almost a (European) khaki and not an overly green shade of green; this hat has been on my wishlist for a while now and I could never decide if I like MC or coyote but now with their Ranger Green I know what color I’m going to get one in.
