Helikon Boonie Hat Cotton Rip-Stop - US Desert

Very well-made hat. The light color works great on sunny days. It's indispensable for trips and has a practical detachable neck cover. I recommend it.

Great hat, it served me all summer while working in the garden. Even though I pushed it into various bushes and branches, it stayed clean and intact. It is very durable – for this price, it's a no-brainer.

The hat is very good. It protects from the sun much better than a cap because it also covers the sides of the face and the neck. It breathes well, although during exertion on hot days your head may sweat a bit – as with any cap. The product has a nice color, is carefully made, and seems durable.

Hat bought for my wife, used during mountain trips. The recipient is very happy, hasn't suffered from sunburn. She says the hat is breathable, doesn't make her head sweat, and is solidly made. Unfortunately, it lacks adjustment and a drawstring, so you need to get the size right. Despite this, we sincerely recommend it at this price.

Nice color, light hat with very functional ventilation holes. The only downside is the asymmetrically placed snaps, causing uneven fit of the neck protector – about 2 cm difference can be seen on the right side, which really surprised me from Helikon. Other than that, everything is fine. The hat, especially in this color, is excellent for heat – perfectly protects the face, ears, and neck. It's a shame hats aren’t more popular in Poland, especially in summer, though elsewhere they are standard wardrobe items.

The hat is well sewn. The rear detachable part works great on longer routes, when the sun shines on your back. The safety string holds the hat in place even in stronger gusts of wind.

The product description reflects reality well. The hat has refined details and is solidly finished, the material is thin and breathable. The brim is stiff enough to easily shape it as you like. My only complaint is about the neck cord adjustment – the oval leather piece with holes could be made better. Regarding the sizes, it seems the manufacturer uses imperial units (inches). After converting to centimeters, the circumferences are almost in line with the chart (a difference of about 1 cm), though for some people that difference may matter.

Well made, with a stiff brim – big plus. I bought it for my girlfriend for a trip to Namibia, it looked good and provided protection from the sun. Survived the journey in a suitcase without any problems.

The hat is very well made, perfectly protects against the sun, light and nice. The advantage is a detachable neck cover. Really recommendable product. Fast shipping!

The hat is perfect for hot hikes. The string prevents it from falling off your head even in strong winds, and the detachable neck cover is a big advantage.

I used this hat all summer: in the city, forest, mountains and by the sea. It endured sun, rain and wind, I didn't have any chafing, my head didn’t sweat, and my neck remained untouched even without the cover. The hat handles water great and after a long time still looks like new. Highly recommend, I plan to buy more colors.

The hat is very well made, from good material. It is breathable, so your head doesn't sweat even when you stay in the sun for a long time. The detachable neck protector is a great solution. I recommend it – I'm very satisfied.

Very well-made item, breathable hat from decent material. Your head doesn’t sweat even during longer sunlight exposure. The detachable neck protector is a great bonus. I ordered it both for myself and my husband – we are very satisfied.

It would be great if there was also a version in sand color, and if the cape were a little wider, because currently it covers only the neck but could also cover the shoulders.

Comfortable hat, great quality, lightweight and attachable neck protector - perfect for the upcoming heat.
