Size: XL

A very nice hat. I thought size XL would be too big for me, but it actually fits well. The soft material on the forehead prevents sweat from running into the eyes. The hat size is perfect, and because it is soft and flexible, it can be put into a uniform pocket.

At first, I wasn’t convinced about this type of hat, but over time I changed my mind. Compared to a regular cap, it masks the silhouette much better, and it’s also compatible with head nets against mosquitoes. This particular one is quite shallow, but well made. It’s comfortable and fits well on the head.

Very well-made hat, looks great in person. It's nice that Helikon makes the tape around the hat also in camouflage, unlike the older versions. Comfortable, well thought out, the brim is perfect. Not too wide, not too narrow. Sizing is accurate; you should measure your head's circumference about 1 cm above the eyebrows. If your measurement falls between two sizes, I definitely recommend choosing the larger one. The smaller one will be too tight.

Pay special attention to choosing the right size – it's best to measure your head circumference with a tailor's tape and select according to the size chart (or use the possibility to try it on if there are Helikon-authorized dealers in your city). My head circumference is 61 cm and I wear size XL, even though I am not a big person. Different models might fit differently, so before buying, check the table and measure your head precisely. This is already my third panama hat, I am very satisfied. The hat breathes well, is solidly sewn and durable. I recommend watching the official instructional video. The product can be folded into a pocket, and inside there is an orange lining to make it visible among greenery so you won't lose your hat.

A very good hat from a respected manufacturer that clearly knows its materials. As with other products from this brand, I was not disappointed this time either — it must be admitted that they really got this product right.

Great choice — for us, Panama hats are a must ;))) For me, they are definitely better than baseball caps. I picked this model specifically for my windbreaker, and I’m adding a photo. It’s worth remembering that it’s better to order a Panama hat slightly larger, because you can always adjust or tailor it, rather than have to send back one that’s too small later. Of course, it’s best to follow the size chart, because everything is well described there.

The hat is really well made and very comfortable. It withstands washing well, does not lose much color, and nothing comes undone. I can honestly recommend it.

The quality is okay, but the brim is definitely too small for the tropics or sub-Saharan climates. Obviously, the hat was originally intended for a different purpose. Still, it's a pity, because it is nicely made and looks quite good on the head. Also a very good fit.

It is well made and fits great. The only minor drawback is the Velcro panel, which would be better placed at the front instead of on top. Other than that, I would buy it again without hesitation. Thanks to the cord, it can be worn securely even in strong wind. When it is not needed, it can be rolled up and put into a bag, and after taking it out, it quickly regains its shape.

Head circumference 60 - size XL fits perfectly. Wz93 so it's just right for the training ground. Inside there is a breathable mesh and a pleasant material so that sweat does not run down your face.

Review for model:

In recent months, I purchased three Helikon-Tex Mk2 boonie hats: one black, one in multicam, and one in woodland camo. I can wholeheartedly recommend them. They are solidly made, very comfortable, and high quality. The sizing is precise—my head circumference is 61 cm and size XL fits perfectly. As I mentioned previously in reviews, I also have boonies from other companies, including military models from the United Kingdom, but those from Helikon-Tex definitely stand out in a positive way. I definitely recommend them.

Black is my favorite color! According to the size chart, the cap fits the head perfectly if you measure correctly. This model is very comfortable and I definitely recommend it. It works not only in the rain, but also during heat waves. It's also easy to fold into a small case. Everything is perfectly designed, thank you very much militaria!

The hat is great. I already have 4 of them in different colors. It works elegantly during heatwaves (anyone who's ever gotten their ears sunburned knows what I mean). The hat breathes well, is well made, and you can easily put it in your pocket. Highly recommended!
