RothcoCamo Boonie Hat Bucket Hat Military Hat

Hat is exactly as described. Very comfortable.

I like this hat because I can wear on my boat and get it wet without the brim sagging down over my eyes like most of the wider brim hats out there. It seems to be a thicker grade of canvas fabric that just feels durable. I also has the chin strap to keep it from blowing off my head at some speed or in a stiff wind. I would buy this again.

I wanted a Boonie hat similar to the one I wore in the Army, but in Olive Drab instead of Desert Tan. This hat was just what I had in mind. It's pretty authentic in look and feel, and fits as expected. I just went ahead and ordered the size I wore in the military and it fit just fine. The drawstring seems a little shorter, but I can't remember how long the U.S. issued ones were. Either way, the draw string is long enough to fit anyone's head, I'm sure. The only other difference that I can tell, is that this has the loops, as pictured. The one I was issued did not have loops, but that didn't matter to me in the slightest when I decided to make the purchase. I've had this hat now for about 3 years, and put it through a lot since then, including plenty of hiking, camping and 2 years worth of landscaping...so namely, lots of exposure to sweat and the elements, and tons of washings. The hat has held up great and is still in good shape. One note about maintenance: I always hang dry the hat rather than drying it, because that's just what I did in the military and it works just fine for me.

depending on what your looking for this is a good hat.if your looking for a boonie hat strictly to beat the heat this isnt the best for that as it doesnt breathe as well due to the poly cotton blend.also there is no map pocket which leaves a single layer protecting the top of your head from the sun.if your looking for a boonie to deal with rain its surprisingly good at repelling water for short periods and even long periods when soaked still holds up great and doesnt droop(water proof boonies are too hot).i got the 7 3/4 and was a little loose at first but shrunk naturally ( never dried or washed mine,followed the tag ) one thing i noticed and most people wont care is there is a yellow tint to the color and it keeps it from matching real ucp ACUs and gear. for comparison one pic has the rothco on the left and the tru spec on the right

It fit great and I used it for Land Surveying.

This Rothco product is made better, and appears to be of a higher quality, than their M65 jacket (which I returned). I don't like the foliage loops around the hat, but the strip is a darker OD, so it blends in well. I found it to fit a little big. I washed in warm water and dried it, but it only shrunk a bit; it did not fade. We'll see how hit holds up after repeated washings, but overall I like it and think it is a good value for the price.

Correct in the size. It does take a day or two to get it into shape. Packaged in a tight little ball. Great look and feel.

My first new boonie in forty-five years! My old Type II in Woodland camo has finally begun to unravel, and has been retired to a place of honor. Type IIs are tough to find - almost every store I've looked in sells only Type Is, and I think the brim on these is too narrow. I gave up on an original 'Nam-era hat - I could stomach the astronomical prices, but no one seems to have a 7 3/4 for my watermelon head. So I bought this instead. It seems well-made, the vents are still brass (though smaller than the original), and the brim is stiffer than my old one (which I like). The crown doesn't feel as deep as the old one. Maybe the oldie stretched somewhat - don't know. I feel very "today" in the ACU Digital camo, but I long for Old New Stock in that old-fashioned Woodland pattern.

I have a large head, but hat fits well. Chin strap keeps it firmly fitted while travelling from fishing spot to fishing spot. Well made!

Perfect

Good quality. Bill is somewhat large but perfect for sun shade

Good fit and nice look. Exactly what I was looking for.

despite being only a quarter of an inch bigger than the other one I have It feels larger, but makes it more comfortable
