Helikon-Tex Boonie Mk2 PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop Hat - Tiger Stripe
A 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 fit, 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, vents, adjustable
The hat has four vents with a grille to protect against insects. The wide brim provides excellent protection from the sun and rain.

Camouflage Tiger Stripe
Tiger Stripe is a collection of camouflage designs originating from Southeast Asia, with the most well-known version coming from the Republic of Vietnam. The pattern is inspired by the French Lizard design, tailored for tropical environments. Tiger Stripe features irregular brush-like stripes in green and brown hues, with broader, grayish lines on an olive or khaki background. This configuration is particularly effective in dense jungles and tropical forests, where it conceals the silhouette amidst low and medium vegetation. The camouflage hinders detection at close proximity, allowing for seamless integration into the dynamic, shaded vegetative landscape. The term "Tiger Stripe" references the tiger's coat, mimicking the animal's natural striping to efficiently disrupt outlines in thick greenery.
