Think of the time you’ve spent perfecting different components of a ghillie suit. Cutting, stitching, seasoning, shoe gooing, prepping veg ties, and almost certainly questioning every one of your life decisions while doing so. This hat, from the package, cuts 90% of the tedious work out. Hat is sturdy, well stitched, and comes out of the plastic ready to tie on 550 and smush in the mud. The top mesh is sturdy, not too thin, not too thick. Frayed edges are done right, and the hat isn’t going to unravel on you further. The netting on top is affixed in a way that gives plenty of space to tie on your bands or 550 with ease without tearing material and/or making you want to hurl a wrench through a window. My only complaint is I didn’t come up with this idea myself a decade ago. 10/10 recommend.
