TRU-SPEC Poly / Cotton Ripstop Wide Brim Boonie Hat Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

Good product, in near perfect condition after about six months.

One thing i don't like personally is the super wide brim, but that's not a real issue, and depends on the wearer's preference.

It seems to run big (I got a Propper 7.5 boonie and it was much smaller than the 7.5 Tru-Spec boonie) so you might consider going down a size.

One more note: it's not MARPAT! This is AOR-1, which is similar, but not the same. So if you're an airsofter like me and looking to complete a load out, this won't perfectly match up. However, it's by and large the easiest USMC style boonie to get and good quality. Would buy again.

Shipped within a day and a half, arrived in two more days. Faster than the prime order I made that same day. Kudos to TG!

1) the webbing is attached a full inch above the brim, which is unusual for a boonie hat and I don't like that. And the webbing is a bit crooked, which doesn't matter in the field, but it still annoys me.

2) the brim falls short of 3", I measured it at 2 7/8". IMHO, wider brims are better on boonies because they shield you against more rain and sun and they look better that way.

3) it came with a plastic, spring loaded cord lock on the chin strap, instead of the leather one in the picture, and I like it better this way because it has a stronger grip on the cord. But it'll slide right off while you're adjusting it if you're not careful, whereas a leather one wouldn't.

Overall, the quality of this hat is a step below my USMC boonie.

I bought this tru-spec boonie because I like the tru-spec product and I bought this one for the wide brim for protection from the Sun out here in Arizona. I prefer the old style with the leather cinching on the chin strap instead of the plastic one which comes off and I don't like it. Only true spec Boonies have the map pocket inside the Hat which is handy and provides another layer of protection

I am normally a 6 7/8 hat size and this hat at size 7 was a little tight.

This is a well constructed hat. The fabric is of good quality and it fits very well. The pattern blend in well for the environment that in using it in and I would recommend this product to anyone.

Tru-Spec has made a great hate. The wide brim helps when a contractor cap isn't enough. I also wear a skull cap or an bandana for excess sweating. This fits over them perfectly.

Hat does it’s job out in the sun, is made with a real high quality material, and looks good. The size was a little small, ordered the larger size, but it’s still a little tight.

Have bought two other Tru-Spec boonie hats. They fit me great and provide the protection I was looking for. Great price and great service.

Tru-Spec makes great boonie hats and the wide brim versions are my favorite. This site is a great place to buy from.

Hat is what I was looking for, do wish the strap had a leather pull, rather than the plastic!
