• Youth football

Why Officials Choose a Flexfit Hat

A Flexfit officials hat provides a clean fitted appearance without the loose strap or opening found on many adjustable caps. The stretch construction helps the hat remain comfortable and secure while football referees and lacrosse officials move across the field.

Many experienced officials maintain more than one hat so they have a clean backup available for tournaments, wet-weather games, consecutive assignments, and postseason contests.
