Flecktarn Cotton RipStop Boonie Hat

Flecktarn Ripstop Boonie

A boonie is a soft, wide-brimmed field hat that keeps sun and rain off your face, ears and neck when a cap would leave them exposed. Mil-Tec cuts this one in 100% cotton ripstop and prints it in Flecktarn, the dappled five-color pattern developed for the German Bundeswehr. It suits hunters, hikers, campers and anyone matching a Flecktarn uniform who wants a hat that packs flat and holds its shape in the field.

Features

• 100% Cotton Ripstop — The cotton is woven with a reinforcing grid so a small snag or tear cannot run across the fabric.
• Flecktarn Camouflage — The German army's woodland pattern mixes greens, browns, gray and black in small blotches that break up your outline in forest and brush.
• Wide Stitched Brim — Multiple rows of stitching stiffen the brim so it shades your face and neck without flopping into your eyes.
• Screened Vent Eyelets — Metal eyelets with mesh inserts on both sides of the crown let heat escape while keeping insects out.
• Foliage Loop Band — An olive nylon webbing band around the crown is stitched down into loops that hold grass, leaves or twigs for extra concealment.
• Adjustable Chin Cord — A braided cord with a sliding stopper cinches under the chin so wind cannot take the hat.
• Deep Crown Cut — The tall crown follows the classic Vietnam-era jungle hat pattern and sits low for full head coverage.
• Packable Construction — The soft, unstructured body rolls or folds into a pack or cargo pocket and shakes back into shape.

Fabric and Fit

Cotton ripstop breathes well and stays comfortable against the skin in warm weather, and the ripstop weave holds up to brush better than plain cotton twill. The hat comes in several head sizes up to 2XL, so measure around your head just above the ears before choosing. The cord and stopper take up any slack, and the olive drab webbing and cord match the pattern's base tones.
