Not the same as the 1st gen hat
"Purchased one years ago in black (GR TAC). Much more robust and sturdy, not to mention much better fit, this one has an odd crown. Glad I still have my old one. Just not the same."

Estamos comprometidos a hacer las cosas bien, no por el camino fácil. Por eso diseñamos y fabricamos nuestros tejidos desde cero y personalizamos los ajustes para que coincidan. El enfoque estándar, el que casi todos adoptan, es estampar un logotipo en una gorra ya existente. Los vertederos del mundo están llenos de gorras hechas de esta manera. Rechazamos eso rotundamente. Así no es como se construyen las cosas.
Invertimos el tiempo, el esfuerzo y la energía necesarios para hacerlo a nuestra manera. Nos enorgullecemos de cada puntada y nos obsesionamos con cada detalle para que cumpla con nuestros estándares.
Todo lo que hacemos está diseñado para nuestro estilo de vida, y cada pieza viene con nuestra

"Purchased one years ago in black (GR TAC). Much more robust and sturdy, not to mention much better fit, this one has an odd crown. Glad I still have my old one. Just not the same."
"This is a great, nice and light hat. Its well built and fits nice. When its hot outside it doesnt feel like your head is in an oven. Highly recommend for a summertime hat, especially when working out sweating from rucking or other outdoor activities."
"I lost track of my Tac hat during a move and wanted to get another. This time I upgraded to the Cadre and love it! Yes, I’ll get another tac hat for range use, but Cadre is my happy daily driver now :-)!"
"When I saw this make a comeback I was excited. Years of hunting the second hand marker for an overpriced replacement I thought I won the lottery. I had an original tac hat from GoRuck and the thing lasted nearly a decade. The material was significantly thicker, the crown of cap was lower profile which was great for ear pro. This hat has a much thinner material. GORUCK makes solid products but this was definitely a major flop it’s basically the Temu version of the OG tac hat. Sad to see the quality go down the drain for 35$ hat."
"I wear this hat everyday. Could not be happier with it."
"The ranger green Cadre Cap is long lasting man! Awesome strap design on the back as well."
"I look the fact that the patch is interchangeable. It is unfortunate that the edges of the patch stick out off the hat so it can look like it is coming off."
"This is my new favorite hat. But. . . I'm pretty sure I had the 1st gen TAC hat. And the 2nd gen as well. I did not like the 2nd gen as much as 1st; it seemed as though the fit had changed and maybe the materials as well. This recent purchase seems to be different too, the fit and also the material. This newest version felt like less substantial codura. (Or I'm just crazy/old and can't really remember details that far back!) The design is slightly different with the adjustable closure and elastic. Not sure what I think of that yet, but I do think it fits nicer. However, the craftsmanship is still as premium as ever. And I like the new color option. A high-quality product. Thanks."
"The cordura on this run of hats is thinner than the original hats which makes it a better more comfortable hat. I’d wear it to bed but the dog would chew it."
"Nice hat. A crease across the crown when it was delivered due to being shipped in a shipping envelope. I think as it is worn, the crease may work itself out. Overall, pleased with the purchase."
