TRU-SPEC Boonie

I bought two of these boonies in tiger stripe, one in jungle, one in desert. The pattern on the jungle tiger hat is spot on, while the pattern on the desert tiger hat is missing one color, but still very good. I doubt most people would even notice. They are both good to excellent build quality, with a map pocket in the crown, and the brim is a little wider than most boonie hats I have. A feature which I like very much as it does a much better job of keeping the sun off your face and neck. They also came with cord locks on the cord that holds the hat on your head in the wind instead of the cheap little leather toggle that doesn't do much of anything. One drawback is the the length of that cord is a little short in my book. I gave five stars as there is no option for four and a half as jungle tiger is excellent, but the desert tiger is just slightly off. Great boonie hats of good quality though.

Ordered a large, and I wear a 7.5 so it fits well, without being too tight. If you have a head like a pumpkin.... maybe the XL would be better. But i found the large to be very comfortable. Good quality, and the chin strap guarantees that even flying around at speed in a boat, you don't lose it. Also a map pocket in the crown if that makes a difference. When you get it, pitch it in the washer, then lay it out to air dry. Otherwise the dye will run when you either sweat or get rained on. Solid choice for the money.

This hat works just as a hat should!!! Just spent a week at scout camp with my two sons and the hat fit the bill. Mine was 100% cotton for the materials and did not show any signs of bad workmanship. Head was warm in the sun, but what do you expect in Texas during the summer. Had brief rain and the brim did not collapse into my face. I expect this hat to make many other scout camps. Could have been cooler if I had a light color, but I wanted to keep true to my Woodland Camo roots from the military!!!

First off, I ordered Khaki 7 1/2, due to reading reviews about shrinkage, even though I am 7 1/4. I washed this one in cold water (as instructed), and did not notice much shrinkage. So maybe they used warm water? The quality is decent, though the fabric is not quite as nice or thick as my Bernard Cap Company Boonie. I do like how this one flops, with a nice wide brim, and I pretty much forget it's on when I'm wearing it. If I bought it again I would get my actual size, though. Assembled in Honduras from materials made in USA.

Quality and comfort are top notch. Sun protection was perfect. I spent over 110 hours doing event security and Thought about how much more satisfied I was compared to the 5.11 brand hat that was quite similar from Big 5 for almost twice the cost. I returned the 5.11 hat to Big 5. I strongly recommend this product.

well worth $12. The hat is very well made. It helps if the hat fit loose is to have the chin strap (whatever you call it) on the back of your head and tighten it up by sliding the plastic piece on the chin strap until it tightens on the back of the head. The excess can be tuck under the hat if it gets in the way. That is how I wear it. It gets a good secure fit instead of having to keep the strap under your chin & it stays on better. It is 100% cotton which I like, it is hard to find bonnie hats that are 100% most of the time it is a blend.of poly and cotton This is very similar to the Vietnam Boonie hats that were 100% cotton. This has a inside pocket for keeping maps or for me my fishing license . The Vietnam bonnie's did not have this. Made me laugh to have the inside tag say" Made in Honduras from USA material" I guess the cotton came from the US and the hat was made in Honduras .,,, ;-) It is well made and I would buy again. I got olive drab , the picture from Amazon looks more like a Tan color but what I got is a military olive green This may help others to pick out their correct size. Mine turned out to be X large SMALL Size 6 3/4 - 6 7/8 21 1/8 " - 21 1/2 " MEDIUM Size 7 - 7 1/8 21 7/8 " - 22 1/4 " LARGE Size 7 1/4 - 7 3/8 22 5/8 " - 23 " X-LARGE Size 7 1/2 - 7 5/8 23 1/2 " - 23 7/8 Place measuring tape around your head about 1/8" above your ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head. Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. Basically you need to measure your head exactly where the hat will sit. If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.

Too small plus the pics showed it had the military item tag in it this one did not

The hat looks tactical. The material seems durable. It is extremely comfortable. I have no complain. The only downside is that the head size of the hat is not adjustable. Overall, it is a well made hat. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I like the fact that this hat actually fit the way it is supposed to. I wore it for 13 hours straight the first day I had and couldn’t tell I was wearing it. As it was forecast to rain, I sprayed it with water repellent and it didn’t affect the characteristics of the hat, it maintained its shape.

El mejor boonie, de todas las marcas, es éste modelo, es práctico, cómodo y ajustable. No es impermeable, pero te mantiene seco en una llovizna. y te cubre el sol en el verano intenso. Compraría de nuevo sin pensarlo, si lo llegara a perder, porque si no, no creo que compre uno en mucho tiempo.

A+

Buen producto

Siempre he comprado sombreros militares porque son muy útiles y prácticos y está marca en especial ofrece buena calidad, Durán mucho y no se deforman, solo que note que esta vez la cinta que forma los bukles donde se pone la hierva para el camuflaje venía colocada un poco más arriba de lo normal no se si ya los modificaron o si es un defecto de fabrica, pero es pasable al final deja más espacio para poder poner alguna botellita como aceite para lubricar el fusil o unas gotas para los ojos.
