Lightweight
& breathable

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

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 focus and achieve peak performance with a secure headset fit that won’t budge during intense shooting maneuvers. For competitive shooters, the cap features a removable Velcro strap for added headset stability during rigorous activities.

The benefits are obvious, better ear cup contact translates into better noise cancelling and improved audio clarity. The improved contact evenly distributes the pressure around the ear cups for greater comfort during prolonged use. It goes without saying, our hats are top button free for increased headset wearing comfort.

What They Are Saying

"I first noticed the difference during taxi. My plane has no muffler and my David Clark ANR worked better to filter out the engine noise. In flight the results were the same, it’s well made product, very comfortable."
George Barrett
GA Pilot
"My Bose A20 ANR headset is more comfortable with the V1 hat on than without it. I have not worn a hat for the past 30 years when flying, the V1 hat is changing that. The increased comfort is remarkable."
Mike Walton
Retired Cessna Demo Pilot
"Definitely reduces engine and wind noise in my Bose ANR headset. Improves headset comfort in both short and long flights. I was skeptical and then I tried it, get one you won’t be disappointed."
Steve Cook

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!
