Super. I listened to the suggestions of other customers and chose a larger size – it fits perfectly :-) There’s no reason to hesitate, definitely money well spent for satisfaction.
UF PRO Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat - Brown/Grey
The hat is sewn from 185 g/m2 Nyco Extreme fabric, combining durable Cordura and breathable cotton. Thanks to the Rip-Stop weave reinforcement, the fabric does not ripple or fray, even in case of localized damage. An ideal choice for those looking for lightweight and durable head protection, both in rugged terrain and for everyday use.
NyCo Extreme - resistant Cordura and breathable cotton
The Cordura used is distinguished by its high resistance. Thanks to the unique fiber structure, it perfectly protects against mechanical damage, even during intensive use.
Cotton is responsible for excellent moisture wicking, while providing breathability and reducing the risk of chafing or irritation of the skin, which significantly increases the comfort of wearing the hat.
Thicker threads in Rip-Stop weaves create an additional mesh, reinforcing the material and preventing damage from spreading to a larger area.
Adjustable brim and circumference, air cushion, mesh holes
Adjustment of the hat's circumference is possible thanks to an elastic cord with a stopper. An integrated wire is used in the brim, allowing for a precise fit to the shape of the head.
For even greater comfort, the model features an internal air cushion that provides additional thermal insulation to help maintain optimal body temperature. Despite the added protection, the cushion remains lightweight and does not affect the weight of the hat.
There are mesh ventilation holes on the front and back to allow air to flow freely.
Accessory pocket, loops, Velcro
A webbing with loops has been sewn onto the hat to carry useful accessories or attach a camouflage net. Inside there is a flat pocket for storing small items.
Thanks to velcro panels, it is possible to attach any patches or emblems, such as a flag, unit emblem or so-called Morale Patches.

I am very satisfied with the purchase of this hat. It protects the head well in both hot, sunny days and during cooler, cloudy ones. The hat is light, airy and carefully made – definitely worth its price.
-
The hat proved itself the very next day after purchase during a mountain hike – it is very lightweight and breathes brilliantly. The flexible brim allows you to shape the edge however you wish, which I consider a big plus. The quality of workmanship is excellent – this is already my third hat from UF PRO and I have to say that my previous two boonie hats from Helikon can now be retired. I definitely recommend it.

Size: XXL
So far, I’ve only had the chance to use it for a short time, but my first impressions are positive; compared with the previous Boonie I wore before, the difference is like night and day. A good-quality product.
-
The hat from UF Pro is an excellent choice for hot summer days, for example during mountain hikes. It provides better protection for the ears and neck than a traditional baseball cap. The ventilation holes effectively allow air to flow.
-
This is the second hat I’ve bought, I had already bought the previous one in MultiCam colour. I’m glad the Woodland colour is back in stock and I am very satisfied with this purchase. I recommend it.
-
I usually wear caps but I wanted something which would offer better ventilation during the summer months and additionally I liked the idea of the cooling pad. I am not a massive fan of this style of hat but I will admit that I am very impressed with how comfortable it is and how much cooler it was to wear in comparison to my usual cap.
-
The quality of the Boonie is very good. The fit is also very good. It's excellent as sun protection in summer. It's airy, light, and fits very well on the head.
-
Excellent UF Pro hat, I got it in MultiCam colour and it protects very well from the sun. In my opinion, this hat is the best on the market. I can't wait for the Woodland colour to be back in stock so I can buy that one too. I recommend this hat, it's excellent.
-
I love this UF Pro hat, it's the first item I've ordered from this brand and I'm not at all disappointed by the innovation or the quality of this hat. I used it in very hot, sunny weather and it protected me well. I can't wait to see it in Woodland colour – I need to wait until it's back in stock. I highly recommend this hat, which in my opinion is the best on the market.
-
After a year of use, I can say that the hat is excellent in military conditions. It is lightweight, comfortable, and effectively protects against the sun during prolonged outdoor activities. Another advantage is its good ventilation and solid workmanship. The materials are durable, and the hat sits securely on the head without interfering with daily tasks. After extended use, I believe it is worth its price. I recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable head covering for outdoor activities.
-
The hat is very soft and lacks a neck flap. The size adjustment does not work very well. Overall, I think it's a poor choice – I don't discourage it, but also don't recommend it, as it depends on your needs. As always, the order handling was flawless!
-
I had my eye on this hat for a long time – it receives very good reviews both online and among friends. When UF Pro released the woodland version, I immediately decided to buy it. High-quality material, practical vents, a well-fitted cut and the ability to shape the brim (which previously required DIY modifications) – I definitely recommend it.
-
Very good hat, the flexible brim allows you to adjust it to your own needs, and the breathability works well on hot days. I definitely recommend it.
-
My first impressions are very positive. This premium product stands out with its quality and design compared to other Boonie Hats in my collection. I opted for a larger size, following online reviews, and it was the right decision. The hat is slightly loose, but you can adjust it with the drawstring. It is very comfortable and well-ventilated. The price is a bit higher, but it really impresses when unpacked.
