Helikon Boonie Hat Cotton Rip-Stop - US Desert

Very well-made hat. The light colour is excellent for sunny days. Indispensable for trips, it has a practical detachable neck cover. I recommend it.

Great hat, it served me all summer while working in the garden. Despite pushing it through various bushes and branches, it stayed clean and undamaged. It's very durable – at this price, you shouldn't hesitate.

The hat is very good. It protects much better from the sun than a cap, as it also covers the sides of the face and neck. It breathes well, although during effort on hot days the head might sweat a little – as with any cap. The product has a nice colour, is carefully made and seems durable.

The hat was bought for my wife and used during mountain trips. The recipient is very pleased, did not suffer any sunburn. She says the hat is airy, her head doesn't sweat, and it is well made. Unfortunately, there’s no adjustment or drawstring, so the size must be well matched. Still, at this price, we sincerely recommend it.

Nice colour, light hat with very functional ventilation holes. The only downside is the asymmetrically placed poppers, which cause the neck cover to sit unevenly – about a 2 cm difference on the right side, which surprised me from Helikon. Other than that, everything is fine. The hat, especially in this colour, is superb for hot weather – it protects the face, ears and neck perfectly. It's a pity hats aren't more popular in Poland, especially in summer, though elsewhere they're a standard part of the wardrobe.

The hat is well stitched. The rear detachable part works well during longer trips, when the sun is behind you. The safety cord keeps the hat in place during strong gusts of wind.

The product description matches reality well. The hat has refined details and is solidly finished, the material is thin and airy. The brim is rigid enough to shape easily as you like. The only reservation I have is about the neck regulation – the oval leather piece with holes could be better made. As for sizes, it seems the manufacturer uses imperial units (inches). After converting measurements to centimetres, the circumferences are almost as per the table (about 1cm difference), though for some people this could matter.

Solidly made, with a stiff brim – big plus. I bought it for my girlfriend for a trip to Namibia, it looked good and provided protection from the sun. It survived the journey in a suitcase with no problem.

The hat is very well made, provides perfect protection from the sun, is lightweight and looks nice. The detachable neck cover is a plus. The product is really worth recommending. Super-fast delivery!

The hat is perfect for hot walks. The cord stops it slipping off your head even in strong winds, and the detachable neck cover is a big plus.

I used this hat all summer: in the city, forest, mountains, and seaside. It survived sun, rain and wind, I had no chafing, my head didn’t sweat, my neck stayed untouched even without the cover. The hat holds up well to water and still looks like new after a long time. Highly recommend, I plan to buy more colours.

The hat is very well made, from good material. It's airy, so your head doesn't sweat even after extended time in the sun. The detachable neck cover is a great solution. I recommend it – I am very satisfied.

Very well-made item, airy hat from good material. Your head doesn't sweat even with prolonged sun exposure. The detachable neck cover is a great addition. I ordered for myself and my husband – we are both very satisfied.

It would be great if a sand-coloured version was also available and the cape was a bit wider, as it currently only covers the neck, but could also go over the shoulders.

Comfortable hat, great quality, lightweight with a detachable neck cover - perfect for the upcoming heatwaves.
