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 - Woodland
A hat made from Nyco Extreme, a 185 g/m2 material that combines tough Cordura with breathable cotton. With its Rip-Stop weave reinforcement, the fabric remains stable and does not fray, even when localized damage occurs. Ideal for those seeking lightweight and durable head protection, both for rugged off-road conditions and everyday use.
NyCo Extreme - resistant Cordura and breathable cotton
The Cordura fabric is notable for its exceptional durability. Its unique fiber composition ensures superior protection against mechanical wear and tear, even with heavy use.
Cotton plays a key role in wicking away moisture while maintaining breathability, which minimizes the chances of chafing or skin irritation, thereby greatly enhancing the hat's comfort.
The thicker threads in Rip-Stop weaves form an extra mesh, which strengthens the fabric and stops damage from spreading further.
Adjustable brim and circumference, air cushion, mesh vents
The hat's circumference can be easily adjusted with an elastic cord and stopper. The brim includes an integrated wire for a precise fit to the head's contours.
To enhance comfort, this model is equipped with an internal air cushion that offers additional thermal insulation to maintain an ideal body temperature. Even though it provides extra protection, the cushion remains lightweight, not adding to the hat's weight.
Strategically placed mesh vents at the front and back facilitate free airflow.
Accessory pocket, loops, Velcro
Webbing with loops is stitched onto the hat, allowing for the attachment of useful accessories or a camouflage net. Within, there's a flat pocket designed for holding small items.
Velcro panels enable the attachment of various patches or emblems, such as flags, unit symbols, or Morale Patches.

Woodland Camouflage
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 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.

I love this UF Pro hat, it's the first item I've ordered from this brand, and I'm not at all disappointed with the innovation of this hat and its quality. I used it in very hot weather under the sun and it protected me well. I can't wait to see it in Woodland color—I have to wait until it's back in stock. I highly recommend this hat; in my opinion, it's the best on the market.

After a year of use, I can say that the hat works perfectly in military conditions. It is lightweight, comfortable, and effectively protects against the sun during prolonged outdoor activities. A plus is also good ventilation and solid workmanship. The materials are durable, and the hat fits securely on the head and does not hinder everyday activities. After an extended period of use, I believe it is worth its price. I recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable head covering for outdoor activities.

The hat is very soft and lacks a neck cover. The size adjustment doesn't work very well. Overall, I think it's a weak choice – I don't discourage it, but I also can't recommend it, as it depends on your needs. As always, the order handling was flawless!

I had my eye on this hat for a long time – it gets very good reviews both online and among my friends. When UF PRO released the woodland version, I immediately decided to buy it. High-quality material, practical vents, well-fitted cut, and the ability to shape the brim (which previously required personal modifications) – I definitely recommend it.

Very good hat, the flexible brim allows you to adjust it to your needs, and the breathability works great on hot days. I definitely recommend it.

My first impressions are very positive. This premium product stands out in quality and design compared to other Boonie Hats in my collection. I chose a larger size based on online reviews, and it was the right decision. The hat is slightly loose, but can be adjusted with the drawstring. It's very comfortable and well-ventilated. The price is a bit higher, but it really makes an impression once unboxed.
