Super. I took the advice of other customers and chose a larger size – it fits perfectly :-) There’s nothing to think about, the money spent definitely brings satisfaction.
UF PRO Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat - MultiCam Black
The hat is crafted from 185 g/m2 Nyco Extreme fabric, which combines robust Cordura with breathable cotton. With its reinforced Rip-Stop weave, the fabric remains smooth and resistant to fraying, even when subjected to localized damage. This makes it an excellent option for those seeking lightweight and durable headgear, both for challenging environments and daily wear.
NyCo Extreme - resistant Cordura and breathable cotton
The Cordura fabric is recognized for its exceptional durability. The unique fiber structure offers outstanding protection against mechanical damage, even during heavy use.
Cotton ensures excellent moisture management while providing breathability and minimizing the risk of chafing or skin irritation, greatly enhancing the comfort of wearing the hat.
The thicker threads in Rip-Stop weaves establish an extra mesh that strengthens the material and prevents damage from extending further.
Adjustable brim and circumference, air cushion, mesh holes
The circumference of the hat can be adjusted using an elastic cord with a stopper. The brim incorporates an integrated wire, ensuring a customized fit to the head's shape.
To enhance comfort, this model includes an internal air cushion that offers added thermal insulation, supporting optimal body temperature maintenance. Even with this extra protection, the cushion remains lightweight and does not increase the hat's weight.
Mesh ventilation holes are located at the front and back, allowing for free airflow.
Accessory pocket, loops, Velcro
A webbing with loops is sewn onto the hat, allowing the attachment of essential accessories or a camouflage net. Inside, there is a flat pocket to store small essentials.
With the help of velcro panels, you can attach various patches or emblems, like a flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches.

I am very satisfied with the purchase of this hat. It protects the head well both on hot, sunny days and during cooler, cloudy ones. The hat is lightweight, breathable, and carefully made – definitely worth its price.
-
The hat was useful right away the next day after purchase during a mountain hike – it is very light and breathes great. The flexible brim allows you to shape the rim any way you want, which I consider a big plus. The quality of workmanship is excellent – this is already my third hat from UF PRO and I must say that the previous two boonie hats from Helikon can already be put aside. I definitely recommend it.

Once again a masterpiece from ufpro, it has accompanied me many times already and protected me from insects.👍👍👍👍👍 I would buy the Boonies again and again because there simply aren’t any better ones.☺️

Size: XL
The Boonie stands out for its very good quality and excellent fit. It provides great protection from the sun on hot days while being lightweight, breathable, and comfortable to wear. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Size: XL
This is already my second UFPRO Boonie hat. I think it is extremely comfortable to wear, and even though I usually reach for baseball caps more often in everyday life, I was looking for something more breathable for the summer. I also really liked the idea of the cooling insert. I recommend it to everyone.
-
Size: L
Best boonie I have owned, that said it is not exactly magical - it shines with additional airflow to help you cool down on long marches. But by far my favorite element about this is that it has a metal wire inside the outer edge to allow for molding the shape just right, no more looking like a wet towel. It does have a cooling pad option from UF PRO but I have not tried that yet, I sweat hard enough to do the job myself. One thing I am not too thrilled about is the velcro locations.. would have loved an identification bar in the back but that is a small down side, can always stitch that on myself.

Size: XL
This is my second UFPRO Boonie I find them extremely comfortable to wear and while usually I wear caps but I wanted something which would offer better ventilation during the summer months and additionally I liked the idea of the cooling pad.
-
Size: L
I absolutely recommend buying this. I measured my head circumference (58–59), so I ordered size L. It fits perfectly. The ventilation is excellent. Thanks to the elastic drawstring, the boonie can be secured at the back of the head so it doesn’t fly off even when riding a quad bike. I’m thrilled with the product. I’m going to get a second one as well.
-
Size: XXL
So far, I’ve only had the chance to use it for a short time, but my first impressions are positive; compared with the previous Boonie I wore before, the difference is like night and day. A good-quality product.
-
The UF Pro hat is an excellent choice for hot summer days, for example during mountain hikes. It provides better protection for the ears and neck than a traditional baseball cap. The ventilation holes effectively allow for airflow.
-
This is the second hat I have bought, I had already bought the previous one in MultiCam color. I'm glad that Woodland color is back in stock and I'm very satisfied with this purchase, I recommend it.
-
I usually wear caps but I wanted something which would offer better ventilation during the summer months and additionally I liked the idea of the cooling pad. I am not a massive fan of this style of hat but I will admit that I am very impressed with how comfortable it is and how much cooler it was to wear in comparison to my usual cap.
-
The quality of the boonie is very good. The fit is also very good. It is great as sun protection in the summer. It is airy and light and fits very well on the head.
-
Excellent UF Pro hat, I got it in MultiCam color and it protects very well from the sun. In my opinion, this hat is the best on the market. I can't wait for the Woodland color to be back in stock so I can buy that one too. I highly recommend this hat, it's excellent.
