I bought the cap as a set with the trousers and, as always, Helikon doesn’t disappoint. The material is lightweight, thin, with ripstop – perfect for summer. Very comfortable fit. I highly recommend it; a product worthy of praise.

Camouflage US Desert (3 Color Desert)
US Desert, also known as 3 Color Desert, is a desert camouflage pattern developed as a successor to 6 Color Desert Pattern. It was created in 1990 and officially introduced in 1992 for operations in the Middle East. The pattern is based on three colors: beige, pale green, and brown, which allowed for a simplification of the micro-pattern and a reduction in contrast compared to its predecessor. This color scheme proved to be more effective in arid, sandy environments, while also better at dealing with the problem of fabric overheating. This camouflage was widely used by the US armed forces, including during the Desert Storm operation, as well as in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The cap fully meets my expectations – it’s made of high-quality material which effectively protects my head from the sun and provides comfort on hot days. The colour, cut, and the breathability of the fabric additionally increase its functionality. I definitely recommend it!

Well made from breathable material. Goes well with trousers of the same camouflage pattern. In summer it works great, the peak shields well from the sun, and extra holes provide better ventilation.

Great, classic cap – I've had it for two years already and nothing has happened to it, the colour hasn't faded even after washing, and the material doesn't pill. I can honestly recommend it.
