The Boonie Hat originally became well known as a tropical hat for the US Army. Back then and today, the tropical brimmed hat was mainly used in warmer regions, for example in the jungle. With its wide brim, it reliably protects the head and face from the sun's rays. The high-quality ripstop design of the Boonie Hat is tear-resistant, kind to the skin and hard-wearing. Its stability is increased by a 10-fold quilted brim and even rain is successfully repelled to a certain extent. The 2-in-1 Boonie Hat "Junglescout" has a long neck protector zipped in, which also successfully protects the neck from the sun's rays. This can be removed at any time and stowed separately in a trouser pocket. On both sides of the hat, there are two horizontally arranged fly mesh eyelets for pleasant ventilation of the wearer's head and to ward off insects. There are 12 Molle loops attached to the hat band, which are initially only used as an accessory, but can also be used to attach any camouflage material or other lightweight items. Even the wind in an open off-road vehicle cannot blow the bush hat off your head as soon as the cord stopper of the chin strap is pulled closer to your chin. When the hat is no longer needed, it is easy to fold it up and stow it in the bag.
