This is an excellent hat. I wear it all the darn time - people even recognize me at parties because of it. The little leather piece is getting a little loose, but it's nothing a wood bead can't replace.

It's a good hat, I really like mine but the only thing I didn't like was the way it was shipped. It came rolled up in a little tube & the brim of the hat was all bent but it took some work & it straightened out. Now one of my favorite hats.

Great for blocking the sun

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2013

I sun burn very easily and decided that I either need to wear a full brimmed hat or get skin cancer so I chose this hat. Although I thought it looked silly at first, I now love it. It is comfortable, light weight, and most importantly blocks the sun. It is machine washable which is a huge plus for getting all the bug spray out of it.

Rothco mil-type-j-44320 OD Green Made in China

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2012

The issue with the size is the depth of the hat, not circumference for me. I like a snug fit with my boonies so it stays put without having to cinch up with the strap cutting off circulation to my brain. That being said, this hat has a very shallow bucket to it, meaning it sits high on your head. I have worn military issue field boonies in the past made by Bernard Cap Company INC and the sizing and fit plus depth allows the hat to sit very comfortably and a gust of wind or two will not knock your hat off. This hat however; a gust will take it off. It fits like a dress hat, high and tight. I almost made a video review but it started downpouring after the initial windstorm and me grabbing a camera and tripod. I will eventually do a video review and post it on youtube.

The material is 55% cotton & 45% polyester. It is made overseas by the owner's of the United States. The brim is not too short and throws a decent shadow. The position of the chin strap where it connects to the hat is properly located. This is a big deal for me as I have had many boonie style hats in the past have this off set. I am not sure if I just got a decent one or not. The color is dark and deep for OD Green so it will pull in heat in the winter. There are a few threads running on the hat that I will snip and hit with superglue so it doesn't unravel. I like tying up loose ends.

Authentic military surplus gear is the way to go. If you have access to a military surplus store within 20 miles, go with them first...if you don't, wait until a gun and knife show hits town...if you can't wait, shop around and spend the $15 on a boonie from amazon. It's not BOSS but it's not terrible for the price point. Not every hat is made the same. Being able to try them on will make a big difference, hence my first and second suggestions. Hope this helps.

Quality hat

Great hat, solid stitching, keeps the sun off my bald head, keeps that head dry when it is raining lightly.
It is 100% cotton, but I have found that the Polyester hats tend to be cooler and evaporate moisture more quickly, so something to think about before you purchase.

Buena calidad y precio.

Reviewed in Mexico on November 20, 2022

Es un buen producto, buena calidad, hay una pequeña diferencia respecto de la cinta de camuflaje en cuanto al color, pero no es importante, la talla es la correcta y se ajusta bien con la correa de la barbilla. El ala es medianamente rígida lo que hace que no pueda moldearse a modo fácilmente lo cual es bueno en cierto modo. El material dice 100% algodón ripstop, no soy experto en tipos de tela, se que hay algodón y mezcla de poliester algodón, me parece que si es algodón. Me agradó esta boonie mucho más por el material con respecto a otros de la misma marca, es ligero y cómodo.
