Let customers speak for us
After nine years serving in the U.S. Army Infantry, including a deployment to Afghanistan, I learned that the difference between good gear and great gear is rarely how impressive it looks. It’s how thoughtfully it was designed.
That’s why the Recon Boonie Hat caught my attention.
To most people, it’s just a hat. To an infantryman, headgear is part of a system that needs to work through long days outdoors, changing weather, and demanding conditions. The camouflage pattern, coverage, brim design, and overall profile all matter.
What I appreciate about the Recon Boonie Hat is its purposeful design. It embraces the practical, field-oriented appearance of traditional military headgear without unnecessary flash.
After leaving the military, my appreciation for quality equipment never disappeared. Whether I’m spending time outdoors, working at the range, or passing along lessons about preparedness to my children, I still look at gear through the eyes of an infantryman.
The best equipment doesn’t need to scream tactical. It needs to make sense.
Nine years in uniform taught me to respect equipment designed with intention. A lifetime outdoors has taught me that the simplest pieces of gear are often the ones we appreciate most.
Because at the end of the day, great gear isn’t about looking the part.
It’s about understanding the purpose behind every detail.
Warm and waterproof, clips to pomchos. Great tool when your on an OP, only nice thing in the bag.
Awesome boots!!!
Super light despite their size.
Amazing fit as per usual for Salomon.
Couldn’t be more happy with them.
The Bonnie hat is fantastic; I truly enjoy the texture and appreciate the quality of the materials.
High quality storage. I use the 9x3 pouch for my Nalgene and there is still room for additional items inside. While the pouch takes up 3 rows of molle, the pouch itself has molle on the sides so you can expand off of it.
Great for expanding a smaller rig. I used these on my smaller recce rig and it allows just enough additional storage space while keeping the rig low profile.
This placard is a great base for any rig. With the elastic mag inserts it saves so much space instead of using it up on mag pouches.
I had ordered the scrim, and requested a refund because I didn't think I wanted it. It arrived at my door the next day and I loved it! I contacted them and they were nice enough to let me keep it. Great company, highly recommend!
