great Hat!!!

There comes a time when a man needs a tactical boonie. You may not know it now, but one day that time will be upon you.
Tiger stripe is, of course, the preferred option—the unofficial camouflage of Vietnam-era Special Forces. Do not hesitate. Own yours now.
Upon placing it on my head, I was immediately afforded a kind of confused respect from my fellow New York City inhabitants. I can see in their eyes a twinge of envy—nay, wonder—as I make my way along the wild city blocks, pushing my three-year-old son in his pram.
There is now a clear distinction between us. While other parents and pedestrians shuffle along with their naked heads exposed to the elements, I adorn my crown with the superior ability to blend seamlessly into any available foliage.
Am I expecting an imminent requirement for jungle concealment in lower Manhattan? No.
Am I prepared for one?
Absolutely.
Always ready. Always faithful.
By sea. By land.

Use it for work love the material and breathable fabric.

Amazing quality fast shipping. Just awesome. Thank u so much for easy ordering and the fast shipping. Another quality piece to add to my loadout.

I absolutely love this boonie. Super lightweight and breathable for a simple boonie. Allows you to tie in lots of vegetation without over complication.

I bought the recon boonie with the boonie veil. I couldn't be happier. I think the hat and veil came out awesome. I would highly recommend this hat. It's a very light material and soft to the touch. I love it!

Aside from mishap on original order fantastic quality flannel daddy approved boonie company made it right !! Would recommend

Awesome hat! Fits just right… looks good…might buy one with the frayed edge!

Amazing design and quality. Just ordered a second one.

True to size and a great product… delivery to the uk from Canada was quite quick , ordered another this time in tiger stripe ..!

Great lid, I got size 1 with a melon measurement of 22 and 3/4 inches, fits good but nervous about shrinking. Washed it but did not run it through the dryer, kept its size. If I get another (Looking at the jungle OCP), I think I would try a size 2. The fit is good, but close. I do recommend, good looking hat, cropped the way I had my ACU Boonie cut in AFG.

The sizing is awesome! I purchased the two sizes, size 1 and size 2 and they fit great. I purchased size 2 for a friend and he had nothing but great things to say.

With the addition of the garnishpack the quality was amazing. The variety made for a full compact unit with the ability to utilize multiple environments in a simple one time package. Being in the rockies there is a wide variety of colours and the boonie with the garnish pack did the job! I would happily recommend these products and you will not be disappointed!!

These are the badass boonies you have been looking for! I have now purchased a jungle boonie as well to go with my Recon boonie. I may order a third. Im a country boy that wears tactical gear as my everyday wardrobe.

I’ve always wanted a smaller brimmed bush hat, SSM aggressively suggested against tailoring our issued ones for some reason

I got desert tiger stripe because digital anything is far too common. I recall seeing some desert tiger stripe in Afghanistan and always was fond of it. It’s different looking than the typical cam stuff that you would see, it also isn’t as “desert” as any of the issued arid stuff. I’d consider it to be more versatile than just arid surroundings.

For real though Carcajou, if you pay Canada post at all you’re getting ripped off for shipping. Over a week from Gatineau to Orillia, ON. Ridiculous. Future orders will be picked up in person I think. lol

I’ve been wearing in on my hikes since it arrived. It’s very lite weight, comfortable, and the brim is at a perfect length for my eye glasses! Has protected me for rain and sun! I’m going on the AT for an extended time and the boonie will be with me! Great purchase, beats the boonie hat I got down in Jungle training back in the day!!!

I love my hat. I can’t wait to get another one.

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.

Love it. Fits great

Hello All,
This item is the perfect pattern/colour for topping myself in the scrub on the marsh. When the tide is out I can wait for the perfect photo to appear.

Love the boonie, I especially love tigerstripe patterns . Its made with a lot of thought about concealment in mind.

Good

The larger size fits my head comfortably and I wear a XXL ops core helmet

Quality and fit are superb. An excellent addition to my kit.
