Helikon-Tex Boonie Mk2 PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop Hat - Desert Night Camo
The lightweight hat is made of 220 g/m2 grammage fabric, reinforced with Rip-Stop weave, which ensures that the fabric will not rip or fray even after local damage. Thanks to the mix of materials and comfortable cut, the hat is ideal for everyday use, as well as for outdoor or survival expeditions.
Rip-Stop weave, Reflective layer
The hat is made from a blend of polyester, cotton and elastane for quick drying and lightweight performance. Thicker Rip-Stop weave threads create a reinforcing mesh that prevents damage from spreading to a larger area.
The inside of the hat is equipped with a reflective layer, which in emergency situations can be used to mark the wearer or signal his position.
Wide brim, ventilation holes, adjustment
The hat has four ventilation holes with a grille to protect against insects. The wide brim provides excellent protection from the sun and rain.
The Mk2 model features a length adjustment cord, which allows the hat to be clipped under the neck, as well as a special loop to attach it to a Helikon-Tex Raid sweatshirt.

Camouflage Desert Night Camo
Desert Night Camo (DNC) is a specialized camouflage pattern developed by the US Army in the 1980s for night operations in desert areas. Designed to be layered over other uniforms, it was mainly used during Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf. The pattern consists of a grid-like arrangement of dark green squares and crosses on an olive-green background. Its main purpose was to disrupt early generations of enemy night vision devices. While it proved moderately effective in practice at suppressing images in night vision devices, it was an innovative approach to night camouflage.
