This is yet another hat of this type that I’ve bought; this time I chose the coyote shade. I was satisfied with my previous purchases of this model – especially the wide brim and good cut are definite advantages. The cap is shallow, so there’s no problem with comfort when wearing headphones. The product is definitely worth recommending, everything is as it should be.
Helikon-Tex Mesh Cap with Peak and Velcro - US Woodland
Breathable cap with a mesh construction and a profiled visor in US Woodland camouflage, made from 100% polyester and complemented with 3 velcro panels, which allow you to attach any patches and emblems. A hook-and-loop strap at the back allows the size to be adjusted to the head circumference, and the Helikon-Tex logo is on the front. The velcro panels let you personalise the cap and give it an individual character.
Mesh construction
The cap features a mesh panel construction that ensures high breathability. It is made from 100% polyester, which is lightweight, durable, and resistant to intensive use. The material performs well during outdoor activities, especially in warmer conditions.
3 velcro panels, adjustable circumference
A hook-and-loop strap is placed at the back of the cap, allowing the size to be adjusted to the head circumference. The model is equipped with 3 velcro panels, allowing any patches and emblems to be attached and giving it an individual character. The front panel measures 9 x 5 cm, the top panel 6 x 5.5 cm, and the rear panel 4.5 x 4 cm. An additional velcro panel measuring 8 x 2.5 cm is located on the adjustment strap. A chameleon, the symbol of Helikon-Tex, is embroidered on the front velcro panel.
Woodland camouflage
Woodland, also referred to as US Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage introduced into the US armed forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL pattern. For more than twenty years, it was the standard camouflage used by the US Army, until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is distinguished by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good concealment and shape-disrupting properties, especially in forest terrain. Thanks to its high effectiveness and global recognisability, it has seen many variants that were adopted by more than 60 uniformed formations around the world. This pattern also had a strong influence on pop culture, moving from military use into everyday fashion.

The hat I bought for trips on hot, scorching days has been performing flawlessly so far. It sits well on the head, is breathable, and effectively wicks away heat and moisture.
-
This is a very good option for sport and intense physical activity. It provides excellent ventilation, so sweat will not build up. Unfortunately, the mesh construction does not provide effective protection for the head against strong sun, which is a major drawback and makes it unsuitable for exceptionally hot, sunny days.
-
I would like to draw the attention of the people who carry out the final check of the order before it is dispatched: after opening the parcel and taking out the cap, I had to use a lighter to burn off the threads sticking out where the seams ended, but otherwise the cap is nice.
-
I bought this cap for a competition because I knew I’d need headwear for many hours, and at the same time it was important to me that it was breathable and dried quickly. It fully met my expectations.
-
This cap is great for warm days and physical activity. It absorbs sweat efficiently, and thanks to the mesh panels, it's very breathable. It differs from other caps in that it is the shallowest of all the ones I own.
-
The cap is very comfortable and has a well-thought-out design. It doesn't get too warm in the summer, and your head dries faster. Personally, I would prefer if it were a little deeper, but even so, it's more comfortable than traditional full caps.
-
Great, well-made cap. I was looking for something very breathable for hot, summer walks to protect my head from the sun. This model worked perfectly. I have a fairly small head and was worried it might be too big, but the option for gentle adjustment with velcro at the back solved the problem.
-
I have long hair so when in bobble hats struggle to fit. This is nice and deep, cool in the summer very breathable. Very very light. Will bug another.
-
I am not satisfied – the cap is made from exceptionally rough material and is shallow, even though the photo suggests otherwise. It's better to buy the original New Era for a similar price.
-
The cap is great and I have been using it for years, but it has one flaw. If someone is bald, the seams of the cap do not get tanned, so stripes appear on your head like on a pizza 😂. A thin lining would be useful. Other than that, it's fantastic.
-
My head sweats a lot and I always get salt marks at the front of all my caps. Here, the mesh provides good ventilation, but more importantly, even when the internal band gets sweaty, there are no visible salt marks. The only downside is that the mesh has no reinforcement at all – so the top of the cap doesn’t hold its shape (it’s a bit flat at the top as a result). Overall, I’m definitely satisfied; it’s practical and looks like it will withstand rougher handling – I can recommend it.
-
I am very satisfied Good quality Durable Sturdy material Not a mass product I think women can wear it too Airy summer version I have already ordered a cat-eye stitch for it
-
Standard quality as expected from Helikon products, it works great on hot days thanks to the very breathable mesh, which is also sturdy. Contrary to some opinions about it sitting shallow, for me the cap fits perfectly – neither too shallow nor too deep. The visor is large and effectively protects from the sun.
-
The Helikon-Tex Mesh cap in Olive Green is an excellent choice both for everyday use and for outdoor trips. It is breathable, lightweight, and remains comfortable even after prolonged wear.
