Description
This is the boonie cap issued within the US Army. The boonie cap has a floppy brim that goes all the way around. This kind of brim is great for keeping the sun of the wearers neck and ears when out in the open. The brim measures about 2.5?.
It is also nice for when it’s raining by helping keep it off the ears and neck more so than a regular hat. There are wire mesh vents in the top to help keep the wears head cool. Around the cap is loose webbing loops. These can be used for attaching small items to the hat, typically used to attach local vegetation for increased camo. There is a simple draw string for securing the cap to the wearers head.
These hats do not stretch at all so you will need exact or very close sizing.

Great hat but these run a little small so order at least a size up. I wear a size 73/8 and I have to wear a 75/8. The hat tag says wear loose so I would suggest following their advice. This is a excellent seller and worked with me on a problem in sizing which wadn’t their fault. Buy two in case one gets stolen by a jealous neighbor.

Great hat, arrived in perfect condition and in a very timely manner. Fabric heavy wearing and durable, love the chin strap and the compact size when rolled up. Like the first review, runs smaller than expected, but if you just order up the fit will be fine. Besides the hat, I also appreciated the customer service (personalized note and follow up from owner) with regards to my purchase. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for gear. Great hat and great experience!
