Legendary Boonie Hat

The boonie hat has been the go-to warm climate hat for military forces all over the world since the Vietnam War. This iconic hat combines practical features with comfort: protecting you from the elements while weighing hardly anything. Particularly favored by special forces, the boonie hat comes typically patterned in camouflage, although it is also available in single-color versions such as black and olive green.

You can find both new boonie hats and genuine surplus versions in our selection. The Varusteleka M05 boonie hat is well known to many from the Finnish Defence Forces. Its unique feature is the rotating band which allows you to attach camo scrim, setting it apart from the standard Finnish military boonie hat. If camouflage isn’t your thing, you can find the same hats in less militaristic colors via the link.

A hat for almost every season

You don’t have to travel all the way to Vietnam to wear a boonie hat—despite its military roots, it’s an excellent choice for spring, summer, and fall. The brim protects you from the sun and falling raindrops but many models also feature holes for improved ventilation.

If summer really decides to go all-in, you can use an old South African border war trick—wet your boonie hat to help cool your head.

Boonie Hat in black or Multicam?

If you need a camouflaged boonie hat, we offer headwear in Multicam patterns, including the Finnish M05, and in single-color schemes as well. South African boonie hats are available in nutria brown, and from our military surplus section, you can also find headwear in the color schemes of various other nations' armies.

Versatile Boonie Hat

The boonie hat has been prominently used in many wars as head cover, yet it has become popular in the civilian market as well. The band encircling the hat is designed for attaching a range of camouflage accessories or other small items.

You can customize your boonie with the chin strap to suit your needs in different situations. The same strap also keeps your hat firmly in place during rough conditions, preventing it from being blown away by the wind. In several models, the hat’s tightness can be adjusted so that, if needed, an ultra-thin cap can even be worn underneath.

Although the term "boonie hat men’s" is often used due to its popularity among men, our boonie hat is a unisex design that offers the same benefits and style for everyone.

So, consider your needs. Whether you require a tactical camouflage boonie hat for military duty or a single-colored version for summer adventures, we've got you covered!
