The TRU-SPEC Poly / Cotton Ripstop Contractor Boonie Hat is made from a durable polyester/cotton ripstop material that protects wearers from excessive sun exposure and adds a layer of camouflage to a tactical outfit. The wide brim blocks sunlight from your eyes and the material keeps you cool on hot days. This model features a unique map pocket that allows for discreet map storage when hiking or working in an unfamiliar locale. There are brass screen vents on the crown, which expel excess heat from the hat and promote a comfortable, breathable interior. The adjustable chin cord lets the hat be taken off and carried around the neck. Soft, durable and ultra-protective, this boonie hat is an ideal choice for anyone seeking reliable sun protection in any climate.

OK hat for what it does. I'm not a fan of all the Velcro sewn on the sides. I used a seam ripper to remove the Velcro and it's better now. I like the wider brim. If it didn't have all the Velcro and Logos, I would purchase more of these in the other colors they offer. I'll stick with regular "boonie hats" in the future, though.

Great quality item, as advertised. The brim is not too wide. Both front and back valcro system is very convenient. I work mostly outside in the open, and because of my uniform code I had to purchase the one in black. Hopefully it won't fade soon.

I like it-a lot! I do wish the brim was wider than average, but i did my usual folding it up triangularly to make it more formless like i like for concealment. Adjusting the size was a breeze with the rear pull cord. Wish it had my old Woodland camo like my days in the Corps! I got OD to match my old green slant pocket tropical fatigues. Very comfortable. If you REALLY need a super wide brim-check the Hornady Boonies on the market. I'm happy with mine and the IR tab velcro spot on top and other patch velcro. Thanks, TG!

The hat is very well made except the draw string to tighten the hat on your head is almost unusable. The string is made of a ribbon that slips though the device meant to hold it. I wouldn't buy this hat again because it does not stay tight on my head.

I bought this hat to replace an expensive breathable membrane hat which I think is very hot in sunny weather. And it works great! The adjustable band cinches up easy... I added little stick-on Velcro patches to the sides to hold the brims up... nice touch. Works great in all weather. Keeps the sun off my scalp, but not too hot. Good for light rain as well. I would buy again in another color!

Not what it was advertised to be! This hat was supposed have a extra wide floppy brim, it is anything but and not true to size! Sorry I made such a stupid purchase! Don't be fooled like I was!

Tru Spec hit a homerun with this boonie. The adjustable pull string is perfect fit every time. Great material and workmanship. Bought both coyote and od green.

I've had plenty of boonie hats. This one is great quality, function and price. I didn't know adjustable head band and pocket inside. Very satisfied. Arrived quickly too.

Love the hat. A true "one size fits most". I have a fat head and this hat fits.
