cotton and polyester blend, Rip-Stop weave
The hat is made from a blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. The fabric features a Rip-Stop weave, which increases tear resistance and helps limit further damage to the fabric if it is torn locally. The ventilation system improves air circulation and helps reduce head overheating during extended use in warmer conditions.
velcro panel, pocket and MOLLE webbing
The hat features a velcro panel that allows the attachment of identification patches and markings. In addition, the model is equipped with a small pocket closed with velcro, designed for carrying small items of equipment. MOLLE webbing runs around the hat, allowing light accessories or camouflage elements to be attached.
Wide brim and adjustable cord
The wide brim helps shield the head and face from direct sunlight. The hat is also equipped with a cord allowing adjustment of the length under the chin, which helps keep it in place during movement and in stronger wind.
Vegetato camouflage
Vegetato is an Italian military camouflage introduced at the beginning of the 21st century as the standard camouflage of the Italian Armed Forces. The pattern is based on irregular, multilayered patches in shades of green, brown, beige and earthy red. Vegetato, also known as mimetico Vegetata or Italian Woodland, was created as a modern alternative to older woodland-type patterns. Thanks to its rich palette and well-thought-out arrangement of patches, this camouflage effectively breaks up the soldier's silhouette and works well in varied natural surroundings - especially in areas covered with low and medium vegetation. Due to its character and colour scheme, Vegetato adapts well to conditions found in many regions of Europe, including both Mediterranean and temperate climates.

The velcro panel is an area with sewn-on Velcro tape that allows easy attachment of various additional items, such as patches or pockets.
Rip-Stop weave protects the fabric from abrasions and tears. It is characterized by additional threads woven in at regular intervals, forming a mesh-like pattern. It provides high strength to the fabric, increases resistance to mechanical damage, especially tears.
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.
