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.
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 does its job, protects me from the sun, the ventilation holes do the trick, although it doesn't work on very hot days. Top-notch quality, strong and tear-resistant. I recommend it.

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.
-
The hat works well. I used it in the mountains, on the training ground, and at the sea. It protects against the sun and is fairly airy. In insect areas, combined with a mosquito net, it protects against bites. The material is durable, workmanship good. Recommended.
-
Good quality product, airy, durable. Can definitely be recommended. Advantages are the drawstring and mesh so that nothing gets inside. It's definitely ok.
-
The hat passed the test on a mountain trip. Nice and sturdy. Protects well from sun and insects. The material survived pushing through bushes and dries very quickly.
-
The hat is comfortable and adjustable, plus the molle palls on the outside give you the option to attach something. The hat works great with a mosquito net.
-
A very versatile headgear :) Great for fishing, airsoft games with friends, or a walk. The sun won't burn your ears, it works well with a mosquito net, especially for fishing ;)
-
The hat is very well made, from thicker material. It works great combined with a mosquito net because thanks to the brim, the net is a bit away from your neck and nothing bites you.
-
The hat fits perfectly for a 59 cm head circumference in XL size. Besides that, it can be adjusted. The material it is made of dries quickly and protects the head well. Made to a high standard, it will surely last a long time. A product worth recommending.
