A good cap both in the sun and in the rain. The adjustment is a big advantage.

Helikon CPU Hat NyCo Rip-Stop - PenCott Badlands
A military hat featuring a distinctive fit and narrow brim, inspired by British and Australian models. The model has a adjustable circumference with a drawstring, making it much easier to fit to the head.
ventilation system
Ventilation holes in the hat are concealed mesh tunnels. These tunnels extend all the way to the top of the hat, resulting in better air circulation compared to standard ventilation holes. The sweatband on the forehead increases wearing comfort and prevents sweat from accumulating on the forehead. It is ideal for use in forest environments, making it a key element in head camouflage.
velcro panel, accessory tape
On the top of the hat, there is a velcro panel allowing for the attachment of identification patches. Around the hat, there is a tape allowing for the attachment of handy items, such as insect repellent or camouflage elements.

Camouflage PenCott BadLands
PenCott is an advanced second-generation system of modern digital camouflage patterns developed by the British company Hyde Definition. Its distinctive feature is a multi-layered pattern structure that includes micro, meso, and macro elements.
PenCott BadLands is a camouflage variant designed for use in dry, semi-open areas such as steppes, scrublands, grassy terrain, and hilly transitional zones. It was developed with environments dominated by faded vegetation, dry soil, and variable lighting in mind. The pattern shares the same structure as other PenCott camouflages—combining realistic color noise, a dense micropattern, and contrasting elements that distort the silhouette. The BadLands color palette includes shades of beige, olive, brown, and light green, creating a pattern that blends naturally into transitional and dry landscapes.

Very well made product.

The hat is fine. It has a narrow brim, which is an advantage. I recommend taking size XL, as it is easy to adjust and you can easily put a balaclava underneath. The sweatband and ventilation holes work moderately well. I miss a small pocket that, for example, UF PRO hats have.
-
The best hat I have seen so far, and I also really like the camouflage. Unfortunately, I had to return it because size L was not available.
-
Helikon, as always, maintains high quality. This is the best-fitting style of hat I have ever worn. I always choose XL and in winter there is still room for a thin hat. The Badlands pattern really works great in buildings, in autumn, and during snowless winters.
-
Great camouflage and cut, narrow brim. The hat is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, size XL turned out to be too small – it should rather be marked as M.
-
Great camouflage, solid workmanship, interesting method of ventilation. Unfortunately, size XL is too small and I have to return it.
-
This is my favourite hat. The Badlands pattern camouflages perfectly for most of the year in Poland – the colours blend ideally with the surroundings of the forest, tree bark, soil or reeds. The brim is smaller, which for me is a huge plus – I had a version with a large brim and it was more visible and less comfortable. This boonie hat fulfils its role excellently and is more discreet.
-
It is an interesting alternative to classic boonie hats with a wide brim. It somewhat refers to British models. The ventilation is solved in an unusual way, there is a sewn-in sweatband and very good Badlands camouflage.
