Helikon-Tex CPU PolyCotton Rip-Stop Hat - Shadow Grey

Shadow Grey military hat featuring a unique cut and a narrow brim, drawing inspiration from British and Australian bush hats. Crafted from PolyCotton Rip-Stop, a fabric combining polyester and cotton fibers. Enhanced with a Rip-Stop weave, the material offers increased resistance to wear and tearing. The hat's ergonomic design and high-performance fiber blend make it ideal for a wide range of outdoor pursuits, delivering effective protection from strong sunlight as well as rain.

PolyCotton Rip-Stop fabric

Crafted from premium PolyCotton Rip-Stop (60% cotton, 40% polyester), this material ensures exceptional resistance to abrasion and damage, while remaining lighter in weight and drying more quickly compared to pure cotton fabrics.

adjustable circumference and chin strap length, Velcro panel, accessory tapes

Featuring an easily adjustable circumference via a drawcord, the hat ensures a tailored fit to the wearer’s head. A Velcro panel is integrated at the crown, providing a space for attaching various patches or emblems, including national flags, team insignia, or morale patches. Positioned just above the brim, a tape band is stitched in place, ideal for securing small essentials such as insect repellent or camouflage accessories.

ventilation opening

Ventilation channels integrated into the hat serve as hidden mesh passages that reach the upper part, delivering vastly superior airflow compared to traditional vent holes. Forehead sweatband increases wearing comfort by effectively absorbing perspiration and preventing sweat accumulation.

    The hat works great. The size matches the description. It stays on the head very well. It does not feel tight. In my case, the narrow brim is an amazing advantage. It is sufficiently stiff and has the right size. It shields the eyes from the sun while at the same time not getting in my way when taking photos with a camera. An incredible advantage compared to a baseball cap is that the hat can be squeezed into a pocket and then unfolded again without damaging the brim.

    A classic military hat with a characteristic, narrower brim, designed for maximum utility in the field. The CPU (Combat Patrol Hat) cut provides great protection from the sun and rain, while not restricting visibility as much as traditional wide-brimmed hats.

    This is what I expect from the brand: solid workmanship, and now the price has become an added advantage as well. Besides that, when I buy from this brand, I do so for the quality and functionality, and the hat delivers on both. I recommend it.

    There are many varieties of boonie hats available, and the choice largely depends on individual preference. I particularly like the Helikon CPU model. It is clearly a variant inspired by the Australian-British style, which is why it has a shorter brim than some other boonie hats. Instead of the classic metal eyelets, a different ventilation system is used here: slits in the outer material with mesh lining underneath. It is hard for me to say definitively whether this works better or worse in practice, but I believe the hat performs well in hot weather, and the sweatband does its job properly. With baseball caps, I often get visible sweat marks on the brim, whereas with the CPU this problem does not occur. I also appreciate the classic chin strap with a cord lock and the additional cord lock above the brim, which is useful in stronger wind. I will add that I had previously owned and worn a Helikon CPU in Polish desert camouflage in size XL. I wondered whether size M might be better. After measuring my head circumference, I got 57 inches. In the end, I concluded that the CPU in coyote color in size M was a bit too tight compared with the XL, so I passed it on to my wife, who liked it very much. If your head circumference is 57 inches or more, I would most likely recommend size XL.

    The hat is very comfortable and doesn’t cause chafing anywhere. You can add some camouflage to it. It’s a pity that Helikon doesn’t make other camouflage patterns as well.

    A very good hat — it fits great and looks good. The ventilation holes proved effective during six days of camping, at times in temperatures clearly exceeding 30°C. I have only one minor remark: the hook-and-loop panel would fit better on the front than on the top, although this is probably due to its tactical use. I would buy it again without hesitation.

    The hat provides good protection from the sun, is airy and durable. A big advantage is air circulation; this is one of the best hats and, of course, at a good price. 5/5

    Helikon CPU PolyCotton Rip-Stop Hat - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland is a great hat. Comfortable, pleasant to the touch, and compresses easily. It also doesn't have a huge brim, which is very useful for camouflage in the forest.

    For a long time I used a hat from Deca. Since I got this one, I haven't touched the old one ;) It's very well made, works great with mosquito nets, I can only recommend it.

    The best hat in its class. A classic from Helikon. The ventilation holes in the hat are covered mesh tunnels. These tunnels widen up to the top part of the hat—this solution means the air circulation is much better compared to classic ventilation holes. Wearing comfort is increased by the sweatband on the forehead, which prevents sweat from accumulating. Perfect for summer.
