Ultralight hat created from a combination of polyester, cotton, and elastane, known for quick-drying and lightweight properties, features four ventilation holes equipped with mesh protecting against insects. The wide brim offers excellent protection against the sun and rain. The Mk2 model has been enhanced with a cord that allows length adjustment, which can be fastened under the chin.

Above the brim, a tape is placed, allowing the attachment of small items (such as insect repellent or camouflage elements). The interior of the hat contains a reflective layer, which in emergency situations allows for user marking or position signalling. The hat is also equipped with a special loop for attaching to a Helikon-Tex Raid shirt.

The use of a material blend and a comfortable fit make the hat ideal for both everyday use and various activities or outdoor and survival expeditions.

Camouflage Rhodesian Camo

Rhodesian Camo is a classic camouflage pattern developed in the 1960s for the Rhodesian Armed Forces (today's Zimbabwe). Created for warfare during conflicts in the region, especially the so-called Bush War (1964-1979), it was adapted to the conditions of southern Africa - dry bushland, grassy plains and low vegetation. The pattern is distinguished by its unique hand-painted appearance reminiscent of brushstrokes. It consists of irregular horizontal shapes in shades of green and brown, placed on a light green or sandy background. With a three-color contrasting palette and an arrangement that resembles natural elements of the environment - such as leaves, branches and grasses - the camouflage effectively diffuses the outline of the silhouette and makes it difficult to detect in the densely vegetated landscape.

    The hat is very well made and looks great in person. I appreciate that Helikon used a camouflage band around the hat – it’s an improvement compared to older models. The headgear is comfortable, well designed, and the brim has the perfect width – not too narrow, not too wide. The sizing is accurate; it’s worth measuring the circumference of your head about 1cm above the eyebrows. If your measurement is between two sizes, it’s better to choose the larger one, as the smaller may be too tight.

    Be careful with the size: I recommend measuring your head with a tailor’s tape measure and choosing according to the size chart (or measuring if there are official Helikon dealers in your city). For me, it's 61cm, that's XL, although I’m not a large person. Different models may fit differently, so check the chart carefully and measure your head. This is already my third boonie hat, very cool. There’s ventilation, quality tailoring, and it's durable. It's best to watch the official video. It folds into a pocket, and there’s an orange fabric inside so you can signal in the 'greenery' and avoid losing it.

    Head circumference 60 cm – size XL fits perfectly. Wz93, so it works great on the training ground. Inside there is a breathable mesh and a soft-to-the-touch material that prevents sweat from running down your face.

    In the past few months I've bought three Helikon-Tex Mk2 boonie hats, black, multicam & woodland camo. I really rate them. They are well made, good quality and very comfortable to wear. The size guide is spot on. My head is size 61cm and the XL fits perfectly. As I've said in previous reviews I own boonie hats made by other manufacturers and also some from the British Army & the Helikon-Tex hats are the best by far. Recommended

    Great hat in Polish wz.93 camouflage. Durable material and very good finish. The well-chosen size fits perfectly. Works excellently in the field. I definitely recommend it.

    Black is the coolest colour!! The size chart matches exactly as per the table if you measure correctly. These models are comfortable, I recommend them. Sometimes it's handy in the rain, sometimes in the heat. It also folds easily into a compact pouch. Everything is well thought out, thank you military.eu.

    Great hat. I already own four in different colours. It works perfectly on hot days (if anyone has ever sunburned their ears, they’ll know what I mean). The hat is airy, well-made, and easily fits in your pocket. I definitely recommend it!

    The hat is excellent and fully met my expectations. The material is very good, it has survived many rainy days – the hat got soaked, but then dried without any problems and still wears great. Importantly, my head stayed dry, so it really protects well against rain. It works well in rain, sun, in the forest, or during tactical activities. An extra plus is the Velcro at the back, which allows you to attach a flag.
