Trying out like 15 hats. Not done testing but this is definitely a keeper, even fits my huge head.
Great hat. I'm trying out a bunch of hats looking for the perfect travel hiking hat, I'm not sure about the rest, but this one's definitely a keeper.Starting with size, I have a huge noggin. like 24.5 Inches around, a 7 3/4 I believe? I've never found a "one size" that fits, it's so bad it's like a joke to go to a store and try on hats. I look Ridiculous in most caps, etc. This hat actually fits, not just Fits, but I cinch the strap down just a little. Mind you, cinched down more on a normal human head, like my female friend's, it scrunches down better on top, but you do what you can when you have a basketball for a head.Material. It's a thin ripstop 65/35 cotton/poly. I've included a pic of the label for proof. Should be thin and breathable, but pretty durable (more so than the noggin it's sitting on!)The brim is fairly firm, the pic I included is the hat as I took it out of being packaged, no flattening or ironing or anything. It did Not come folded up though, so that may put some folds in it if it's folded tightly, but I don't Think so, I just rolled it up and stomped on it and it seems the same.The coyote color is nice too, no yellow, what I'd call a nice medium khaki.The stitching all seems well done, no loose threads or missed stitching. The brim outer wrap overlaps nicely and is open, so you can feed a thin wire around the brim for more stiffness and a memory bend effect, I will probably check it out (be sure to use stainless or aluminum nothing that can rust).If you're looking for a nice boonie type hat, you should definitely check this one out, especially for the ridiculously low price. Price isn't even in my considerations and this rates as well as the ones 8x as much.

Nice boonie.
Easily fits my 22.5” head. Adjusts if necessary. Nice quality and materials. Nice dark navy. I like it.

great hat
Good fit, large brim, and rivals some of the mil gear I had in DoD. Used it on a hunt - no complaints and worked great with my over-ear hearing protection.

Multicam boonie hat.
Arrived on time. Fabric feels durable, and the pattern appears to be a good match for 5.11 and Tru-Spec items. Hat brim is 2 1/4" but when adjustable size feature is drawn tight the brim width increases to 3". The adjustment strap is too slick to provide a good grip in the locking Toggle, causing it to slip and not stay properly adjusted. Para cord might grip better, but may prove difficult to lace through the grommets in the hat. Adjustability concept is nice, but not perfected. Still worth the price. Purchase with confidence.

Military hat
Best fishing style military hats made, super durable, and last a long time, have several in different colors for different outdoor services. Have bought in the past and will continue to buy true spec.

Very nice boonie.
This hat is very well made and the adjustable sizing is great for that perfect fit. The digital camo pattern is awesome. Small top pocket inside of hat (about the size of a calculator.) This is not a shallow hat. It rides perfect for me. 7"3/4 -7"5/8. plenty of head room. The adjustable tie down strap is a great feature and allows you to secure up/down cowboy/Aussie style. If your looking for a well made boonie with good protection and at a great price, then look no further! Side note: It can be a little warm on very hot days. This hat shines in Spring, Fall, winter.

My new daily hat
I have a Tilly that is wearing out and needed to get something quick for travel. This fills the bill nicely. Easy to adjust for fit, good sun protection and is water-repellent for a while in moderate rain. (NOT waterproof, just repels for a while. In a heavy rain you want an umbrella.) I like this well enough, I might not replace the Tilly, lighter and repels rain for a while without having to use Scotchgard or something similar.The single flaw is that I lost the chin strap slide in about a day. Luckily, replacements are easy to find and are cheap; not the hat's fault that I lost the slide, but it is easy to lose.Is it fashionable? Do not know and do not care. I wore it in London for a little over a week, keeping occasional rain off without soaking through (yes it rains in London), and no one commented on it good or bad, at least that I was aware of. Maybe Americans get a free pass on what we wear while abroad.

Superb hat
Pretty solid Boonie hat. It's well made and I love that it's adjustable. I would say that the Tru-Spec is better made than the Rothco Boonie. I own both. The only takeaway is that it doesn't have the the loops around the top for sticks and bush vegetation.

Muy util
Gorro super util. Cubre perfecto la cara y cuello del sol. Es muy resistente. Se puede lavar y secar en máquina y no se deforma ni encoge.Se puede usar para meterse al mar o alberca porque trae cordón para que se detenga y no se cae.
