Great, lightweight hat providing protection from the sun. There is a flap at the back that perfectly protects the neck. The color is neutral enough that it doesn't stand out during play in the forest. I definitely recommend it.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.

I bought the hat on sale and it is worth its price even without a discount. The company is trustworthy. Comfortable, wide brim, dries quickly, very light and comfortable to wear – doesn't overheat your head, so you can wear it all day.

The hat itself is fine, but I mostly appreciate the neck protection. When shooting with the sun behind you, such a flap is indispensable. Recommend!

The Helikon Boonie Hat is a classic – comfortable and available in good sizes. Nothing gets tight even after long wear. The material is decent, has molle, a cord with a stopper, and a neck guard. I recommend it.

I chose this hat because of the great Molle system, which performs well in the field. The detachable neck protector is very practical for rain and sun. The adjustable cord secures the hat from being lost. After impregnation, it will serve for many years. I highly recommend it!

It's the perfect choice for those who appreciate comfort, functionality, and style. It's durable, provides good ventilation, and effective sun protection. The Olive Green color is great for outdoor looks, making the hat universal and natural-looking. It's light and comfortable, perfect for trips, walks, or everyday outings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a practical, stylish hat!

Great hat, made with good material and stiff enough so that it holds its shape well. I bought it to protect myself from the sun in the city – it worked great during heat waves reaching 35 degrees Celsius.
-
I chose a looser size – I have M/L and it fits my head well. The brim protects the neck from the sun. Big plus for the ventilation mesh, which keeps the head from sweating, and the polyester addition makes it resistant to rain.
-
Excellent quality hat, perfect for outdoor trips. The strong material provides effective protection against sun and rain. It is light, comfortable, and fits well. The classic look goes hand in hand with practicality. Fully worth its price!
