Helikon-Tex Boonie Mk2 PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop Hat - ERDL

Lightweight hat 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.

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.

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.

The ERDL camouflage, developed by an American research lab in 1948, gained popularity primarily during the Vietnam War in the 1960s, especially among special and reconnaissance units. It served as the foundation for subsequent designs like the globally recognized Woodland and M81. The green-brown color scheme of this camouflage is highly effective in dense vegetation, European deciduous forests, thickets, and mixed woodlands.
