V1 Hats

The first hat designed for headset use

Scientific Proof: Uncompromised Performance.

The "Original" Headset Headwear

A recent study revealed that standard baseball-style hats can reduce the effectiveness of Active Noise Reduction (ANR) headsets by an average of 18%.

V1 Hats are engineered differently. Our design ensures zero compromise – maintaining the same ANR performance as wearing no hat at all. Get the clarity and quiet you paid for.

Lightweight
& breathable

The high-tech materials used on V1 hats ensures breathability, preventing sweat build-up and keeps you cool during long flights, competitive shooting events, gaming sessions and much more.

Get the most out of your active noise reduction (ANR) and passive headsets, earmuffs, and headphones.

The function driven design of our patent-pending Headset Headwear Cap maximizes the noise-canceling capabilities. This is accomplished through the micro-thin breathable fabric, which promotes and optimal seal at head and ear cup intersection.

This optimal contact reduces the sweat band bulge from a standard 4.5 to 5.5 Millimeter thickness, to less than 1/2 a millimeter thickness, a factor of over 10X! 

Achieve Peak
Performance

Beat the Competition

Maintain a Clear Head, Achieve Peak Performance.

Your precision depends on your gear working flawlessly. V1 Hats are purpose-built to eliminate the common pressure points and headset interference caused by traditional headwear. 

Our top-button-free design and custom fit ensure your headset sits securely and comfortably, providing a perfect seal for maximum noise reduction and audio clarity. Forget about headset discomfort and stay locked in on your target.

Hey, I’m Ralph “Hetch” Hoetger the imagineer of the V1 hat. I recognized an overlooked area of the aviation, shooting and gaming community. Common headwear does not promote audio clarity, long wear comfort and external noise elimination when wearing a headset or other hearing protection.

I put my thinking cap on (pun intended) and went to work. The results speak for themselves. The ultra-thin side inserts replacing the thick sweatbands around the ears–just works!
