6 Color Desert Camo Boonie Hat

Desert Camo Boonie Hat

The Rothco 6 Color Desert Camo Boonie Hat is a wide-brim field hat built for sun, heat and open ground. The brim shades your face, ears and neck, and the crown is vented so your head doesn't cook under it. It's a good fit for hunters, hikers, airsoft players, reenactors and anyone who wants a traditional military-style boonie in a desert pattern.

Features

• Six-Color Desert Camo — Tan and brown blotches overlaid with black and white rock spots, the pattern many people know as chocolate chip camo.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — The blended fabric pairs the comfort of cotton with the extra durability polyester brings.
• Foliage Loop Band — A tan webbing band is stitched around the crown in sections, so you can tuck in grass or twigs to break up the hat's outline.
• Screened Side Vents — Two metal eyelets on each side of the crown, backed with fine mesh, let heat escape while keeping insects out.
• Wide Stitched Brim — Rows of concentric stitching help the brim keep its shape and give all-round shade.
• Adjustable Chin Strap — A cord with a sliding toggle cinches under the chin to hold the hat on in wind, or hangs loose when you don't need it.
• Rothco Construction — Made by Rothco, a long-running maker of military-style clothing and field gear.

Fabric And Fit

This is a commercially made hat, not issued surplus, cut in the familiar military boonie shape with a soft crown and a flexible brim. The six-color desert print is the pattern US forces wore during the 1991 Gulf War, which makes this hat a common choice for period kit and desert-themed loadouts. The cotton and polyester blend packs flat into a bag and recovers its shape once worn.
