To set the review in context, this was used for airsoft purposes, not anything more serious.
That said, I used this for a 60 hour event, covering 3 nights and was paired with a Crye Nightcap, used in thick woodland with a lot of low branches and thick brush. Not seen any damage to the hat from this use.
The boonie itself is a well made product and was straight forward to install the shroud/night cap into the boonie and wear. The mounting holes lined up well with the ops core shroud that I was using.
Not a short coming of the product as it’s principally designed to be used with the NVG skull harness, but for those planing to pair with the Crye Nightcap, you should be aware that if you’re using the Crye counter weight pouch, it’ll interfere with the back of the boonie. If you can find some very thin weights this issue may not exist.
