Guinea-Bissau Field Cap
This is a field cap issued to the army of Guinea-Bissau, the small West African nation on the Atlantic coast between Senegal and Guinea. It is a soft patrol-style cap with a short bill, cut in a digital woodland camouflage of green, brown, tan and black. Collectors of African military kit, reenactors and anyone who wants a light cotton cap for hot-weather outdoor use will find it a practical and uncommon piece.
Features
- Genuine Army Issue — This cap was made for the Guinea-Bissau Army, so you are buying government-issued kit rather than a commercial copy.
- Digital Woodland Camouflage — The pixelated pattern breaks up the wearer's outline with blocks of green, brown, tan and black, a color mix suited to forest and scrub.
- Cotton Construction — Cotton fabric breathes well and stays comfortable in heat, which suits a cap meant for a tropical climate.
- Ripstop Weave — A visible reinforcing grid runs through the cloth so that a small snag or tear is less likely to spread.
- Metal Ventilation Eyelets — Two metal-ringed holes on each side of the crown let warm air escape from the top of the head.
- Short Stitched Bill — The brim is rows-stitched to hold its shape and shades the eyes without catching on brush or a rifle stock.
- Patrol Cap Profile — The soft, structured crown sits close to the head and folds easily into a pocket or pack.
West African Provenance
Kit from Guinea-Bissau seldom reaches the surplus market, which makes this cap a good addition to a collection of African or Lusophone military headgear. It follows the plain, functional pattern of a tropical field cap: cotton body, camouflage print, a short bill and side eyelets for airflow. It also works as an everyday cap for hiking, range days or camp wear.

Cool Unique Camo Pattern Love ItThis cap is legit, the camo pattern looks like MARPAT but its actually the Guinea-Bissau army pattern which is pretty cool if your into collecting military surplus stuff from different countries. Ive been wearing it on hikes and to the range and it breathes really well since the material is that ripstop poly cotton blend. Only thing is the brim is a little stiff right out of the package so you gotta break it in a bit. The adjuster strap in the back works great and its nice and lightweight for warm weather. If your a military gear nerd like me this is a must have.
Unique camo pattern you wont see anyone else wearing, Lightweight and breathable for warm weather
Not many people will know what country its from if that matters to you

MARPAT-ish Pattern is SweetGuinea-Bissau isn't exactly a powerhouse nation you see surplus from everyday, right? But this cap exceeded my expectations. The woodland pattern is basically a MARPAT derivative (which the Camopedia folks have documented), and the ripstop fabric feels legit military-grade. Mine arrived unissued as described. Construction is solid, stitching is clean. I collect obscure camouflage patterns and this fills a nice gap between my Portuguese vertical lizard and USMC digital. Size 2XL fits my 7 3/4 head perfectly with room to spare. Compared to the digital savana version GoMilitar sells, this woodland variant feels more versatile for actual woods use. If you're into milsurp authenticity, grab one before they dry up.
Authentic military issue, not a repro

I like it alotHat came on new condition. Never issued. Durable material. It has a weird floppy bill but it looks like it was made to possibly protect the neck from sun. I love the hat so much I bought another.
Durable, cool, cost effective.
Floppy bill may not please some.
