Stay Cool Under Pressure: Top Hats for 12-Hour Security Shifts

One of those ways has to do with the gear worn on duty. More specifically, hats. Like someone said sometime from some universe in the vast expanses of the cosmos, “A great hat begets a calm mind." Don’t ask us who.

But if the hat is awesome enough, the wearer won’t have sweat trickling down their forehead often. The head stays comfy, and the mind stays calm. CapBargain’s wholesale hat collection might just have that kind of hat for you if you are in the security sector. We have quite a lot of hats that can help security personnel stay sharp and comfortable throughout their long shifts.

Yes, it does sound a little weird when you say that out loud. But hear us out. Professional security work requires peak physical and mental performance, and hats contribute to that in a way.

How?

And to top it all off, they come in matching colors of any workwear uniform (not that security professionals will be wearing hoodies, but you get the idea). 

These hats are made of fabric technologies and have many useful features. Breathable security hats may have perforated panels for better airflow. They dry quickly. They likely have advanced sweatbands made of antimicrobial, odor-resistant material that’s still soft to the touch. The UV protection from these hats can potentially block over 90% of ultraviolet radiation from the sun when patrolling outdoors. They are typically lightweight, too.

There are 12 hours of mandatory headwear, but the cap is too loose or too tight. This distracts from the job, and eventually, the wearer will get irritated. It will show at some point. What security professionals need and don’t need depends on the situation and the nature of their duties.

So essentially, they need lightweight, breathable, adjustable, snug-fitting, flexible, and comfortable hats.

CapBargain’s got them covered.

We carefully curated this list of styles that meet all the criteria. There are only a few on this list. You can explore our collection for potential alternatives and variants.

97% polyester for durability and softness. 3% spandex for stretchability. This structured performance cap also doesn’t come with a buckle on the front panel. So it won’t feel stiff but will feel comfortable, conforming to the shape of the head. The 19-1253 is also among the best moisture-wicking caps in our collection. The distinctive feature is its Cool Comfort performance sweatband from OTTO CAP. The sweatband is anti-odor and anti-bacterial. The fabric also has a UPF 50 rating, offering excellent sun protection. It does come with a hook and loop closure, though. But a special “Quick Release” hook and loop that certainly won’t make the wearer feel embarrassed when fastening in total silence.

Part of our bestselling “OTTO FLEX” lineup. These hats are engineered to deliver superior flexibility and amazing comfort. The 11-1162 doesn’t have a closure at the back. It’s flexible and fits snugly on any head size. For shape, this one comes with a buckram. The stretchable performance sweatband offers moisture-wicking and a cool-but-not-wet sensation when worn for long hours.

Unlike the 19-1253, this one is 100% polyester. It’s low-fitting and firm, if that’s preferable. The 19-1319 also features the brand’s Cool Comfort performance sweatband, which gives it all the features of the 19-1253 except the flexibility. Due to its low per-unit pricing and considerable discount when bought in bulk, the 19-1319 baseball cap is another customer favorite in our wholesale snapback caps collection.

The 19-1284 is part of OTTO CAP’s “COMFY FIT” series, which features hats engineered to deliver maximum comfort with zero compromises on quality and style. The structured cap is made with 100% high-grade polyester and comes with OTTO CAP’s unique Stretchable Comfy Fit Sweatband. The sweatband is just one factor that makes this cap and others in this lineup extremely comfortable to wear. Additionally, it wicks moisture, fights odor, and is antibacterial. This cap also has a Quick Release hook-and-loop closure.

Yes, it’s a running hat. But we've got customers in the security sector buying this one. Possibly due to the reflective properties. The hat is unstructured but has a soft crown lining that makes it very pleasant to wear and take off and do it again. Its superb quality and once again the Cool Comfort performance sweatband make it a viable headwear for security professionals. The quality, reflective property, comfort, and overall style put the 133-1252 on one of our pricier lists. But it’s worth the price.

Lastly, a 6-panel trucker hat for the everyday security professional. The 83-1239 comes in over 110 colors and color combinations, including corduroy variants. The popular style got a little makeover recently and is now even more comfortable and snug fitting than it used to be. If it’s a casual outdoor hat you need for your security team, the 83-1239 delivers a good enough performance. The moisture-wicking is standard and does not come close to performance hats. The pricing and color variety are where the value is. Explore our wholesale trucker hat collection for more trucker hat styles that might suit your purpose.
