Tru-Spec Black RipStop Boonie

Black Ripstop Boonie

The Tru-Spec Black Ripstop Boonie is a wide-brimmed field hat that keeps sun and rain off your face, ears and neck. A boonie is the soft, packable bush hat soldiers have worn in hot climates for decades. This one is built in cotton ripstop and finished in plain black, so it works for range days, hiking, fishing, airsoft and everyday wear.

Features

• Cotton Ripstop Fabric — The cotton is woven with a reinforcing grid, so a small snag or tear stays small instead of running across the hat.
• All-Around Brim — A full brim circles the crown and shades the face, ears and back of the neck.
• Stitched Brim — Rows of concentric stitching give the brim enough body to hold its shape while staying soft enough to fold or roll.
• Webbing Crown Band — A band of webbing around the crown is stitched down into loops, which can hold foliage for camouflage or small items such as a pen.
• Vent Eyelets — Metal eyelets set into the sides of the crown let heat and moisture escape from the top of the hat.
• Adjustable Chin Cord — A thin chin cord with a sliding cord lock keeps the hat on in wind and lets it hang down your back when you take it off.
• Black Colorway — Solid black suits uniform, security and casual wear where a camouflage pattern would look out of place.
• Packable Soft Crown — The unstructured crown folds flat, so the hat fits into a cargo pocket or pack lid.

Construction And Fit

Tru-Spec is a commercial maker of tactical and military-style clothing, and this boonie follows the traditional field pattern: a soft cotton ripstop crown, a stitched wide brim, a loop band and side vents. The chin cord sits low enough to stay out of the way until you need it. The hat comes in several sizes, so check the size options before ordering.
