ZAPTBoonie Hat Military Camo Cap Hunter Sniper Ghillie Bucket Hats Adjustable Jungle Bush Hat

Amazing quality!!! Better than military issue!! The size adjustment string works great!! Not too big, not too small!!! One of the best items I’ve purchased off Amazon!!!

After a few weeks of deliberating, I decided to take the plunge on this hat and ordered one earlier this week. It arrived this evening and here are my thoughts...First, it's typically Russian. The small brim and somewhat odd fit reminded me of the Panamanka (Панамка) hat, or officially the "M-38/88 Field Hat," the Soviets wore from the 1930s onward. Solid, durable and primitive as an AK-47!Personally, I prefer the shorter brim on this hat; but the shock cord strap to tighten it doesn't work as well as it should (it bunches up the excess at the back). It also feels "shallow" in the sense that even though it doesn't sit high on the head, it feels like it does. Another oddity is that while the material feels thin, overall it's heavy.But on the plus side, the stitching on mine is neater than the one pictured (which looks like it was sewn by a blind person, not that there's anything wrong with that!). Also, where I normally wear a 7½-7¾ sized hats (usually a 60-61cm in Russian/European sizes); it's plenty large.I also like the "floppiness" of it. The brim is angled downward, and not outward like Western boonies (which appear more like cowboy hats). While I doubt many true snipers will use these, this design does allow the addition of branches and grasses to the loops for camouflage. The bungee chin strap is odd but doesn't bother me a bit.Overall, for twenty bucks this one's a keeper. It's not true multicam or Scorpion OCP, but it's close enough to match for everyone but the most eagle-eyed Command Sergeant Majors! As a true boonie this will get use out of me, the true test will be how well it stays on in the open Jeep. As long as it remains attached to my oversized cranium, I'll consider it a 'win.' How well it holds up under rugged use will need to be seen, but I believe the single stitching is sufficient to hold it together for at least several years. If it makes it that long, I'll be a happy camper!

Love it. If you're an outdoorsman. This is a must buy. Fits perfectly and the webbing on top work excellent. Will be buying a couple more soon.

Hat looks great and is nice material. It has good adjustment for retention. The brim of the hat is rather short and seems to want to sit downwards or flipped up like a fishermans hat rather than a traditional boonie. It seems like the outer trim of the brim is tighter than the brim itself which makes it want to pull up or down rather than out.So if you're looking for something to ghillie up its pretty ideal. However if you're looking for something to keep the sun off of your neck look elsewhere.

If you're looking for a hat for camouflage and concealment you've found it! Not like those fashion hats everyone wears in civilian environment. This hat is a real military hat for field use!

Great hat! Lightweight and comfortable. Great for fishing for sun protection.

The hat itself is good quality and the pattern matches my crye combat outfit but it’s a bucket hat and not a boonie hat the brim ether curls up or down and can not be shaped like most military boonie style hats it is over priced you can find a better and cheaper priced boonie if you look

This is a Russian style bush/boonie hat, probably made in China (and therefore less expensive than the Russian ones). It's of superb quality, no bad stitching anywhere, and would fit up to a US size 8 (I wear a Euro 61 and I had to adjust it tighter to fit). The camo pattern is good/true. Durable cotton-poly blend ripstop fabric, with many features, such as: Adjustable chin strap, vegetation mounts (top and sides), exterior elastic size adjuster, a chinstrap, interior top pocket, slit vents, and short brim.I think this is my new favorite hat, and I may even buy another.
