cotton and polyester blend, Rip-Stop weave
The hat is made from a blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. The fabric uses a Rip-Stop weave, which increases tear resistance and helps limit the spread of damage if the material is locally torn. The ventilation system supports air circulation and helps reduce head overheating during prolonged wear in higher temperatures.
velcro panel, pocket and MOLLE webbing
The hat features a velcro panel for attaching identification patches and markings. The model is also equipped with a small velcro-fastened pocket, suitable for carrying small items of equipment. MOLLE webbing runs around the hat, intended for attaching lightweight accessories or camouflage elements.
Wide brim and adjustable cord
The wide brim helps shield the head and face from direct sunlight. The design also includes a cord that allows adjustment of the fastening length under the neck, helping keep the hat in the proper position while moving and in stronger gusts of wind.
Vegetato camouflage
Vegetato is an Italian military camouflage introduced at the beginning of the 21st century as the standard camouflage pattern of the Italian Armed Forces. The pattern is based on irregular, multilayered patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and earthy red. Vegetato, also known as mimetico Vegetata or Italian Woodland, was developed as a more modern alternative to older woodland-type patterns. Its rich colour palette and carefully planned patch placement effectively break up the soldier's silhouette, making the camouflage effective in varied natural environments - especially in areas covered with low and medium-height vegetation. Due to its character and colour scheme, Vegetato adapts well to conditions found in many regions of Europe, including both Mediterranean and temperate climates.

MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.
