The Marine Corps issue boonie hat is one of the best and most comfortable options to protect your head and eyes from the sun. With its 360° brim, the sun can't get into your eyes from the side either, as it would with a baseball cap. Maybe you can get similar protection with a 10-gallon cowboy hat, but ask yourself, 'Am I a cowboy?', you aren't and the hat wouldn't look right on you. The Genuine Issue US Marine Woodland Marpat boonie hat is made from a military grade 50/50 nylon / cotton blend with a twill weave, which makes it incredibly durable, no matter what exactly you plan on putting it through. The soft top of the hat makes it very easy to crush and put in your pocket or backpack as you go through the day, available the second you need it. On the side of the hat are metal screen vents to allow for air circulation, keeping your head cool. If it's really hot, try soaking the top of the hat in water, and let it evaporate while you wear it, taking the heat with it. The most environmentally conscious and easily accessible air conditioning you can find. This hat may not be quite the look you need to go with your tux to a wedding or state dinner, but when that isn't the look you're going for, this hat is pretty much the way to go.

MY NEW FAVORITE COVER
Loved this hat instantly! I soak it in water and wear it frequently. The XL 7.75" size fits slightly loose(perfect). MY NEW FAVORITE HAT! If you do not like the felt, cut it out, but it does not bother me any more than any of the other tactical headgear I have in the Texas heat. No more sunscreen for the ears! Best boonie I have worn yet. The desert MARPAT works well in central Texas, and besides, no way am I wearing a dark colored hat in the Texas heat. Item is the genuine article USMC gear and recommend this vendor highly. OORAH and good day!

Quality built hat. I would definitely buy another
Very comfortable hat. Like that it covers the face from sun better than a regular baseball type cap. Solid materials used. I personally cut the rim to make it to my liking.

Nice cover, not really mil-spec
It keeps the sun off when I need it to. It's not exactly the same as what I remember in the Marines, but it's close enough. The brim is a bit wider than I'd expected. Overall a nice cover.

Fast service
Fells well made but sized a little small

Not authentic MARPAT
Contrary to pictures shown and answers to questions asked, the MARPAT desert boonie I ordered and just received does not have an EGA or the lining inside. Wanted a replacement for my well worn issued boonie. The material looks of decent quality, but it is not authentic MARPAT or USMC issue. I feel misled by the information associated with this product. Buyer beware.

and fits nicely on my big noggin
I don't have a Marine Corps uniform shop nearby, so Amazon to the rescue! Yes, this is gen-u-wine USMC issue, and fits nicely on my big noggin.
