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 - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
Military hat in wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage, featuring a unique silhouette and a narrow brim inspired by both British and Australian headgear. Constructed from PolyCotton Rip-Stop fabric—a durable blend of cotton and polyester—the hat benefits from a Rip-Stop weave that enhances resistance to tearing and abrasion. With a carefully designed fit and optimal fiber combination, the hat is ideal for a range of outdoor pursuits, providing effective protection against harsh sunlight as well as rainfall.
PolyCotton Rip-Stop fabric
Constructed from premium PolyCotton Rip-Stop (60% cotton, 40% polyester), delivering outstanding resistance to abrasion and tears, while offering a lighter weight and faster drying performance compared to fabrics made from 100% cotton.
adjustable circumference and length of the neck strap, Velcro panel, accessory straps
The hat’s circumference can be conveniently tailored using a drawstring, ensuring a secure fit to the user’s head shape. A Velcro panel is integrated on the crown, making it easy to attach patches or emblems, such as a national flag, unit badge, or Morale Patch. Positioned above the brim, a strap is stitched on for affixing essential gear like insect repellent or camouflage elements.
ventilation openings
Ventilation openings on the hat are designed as mesh-covered channels. These channels run up to the crown, providing significantly improved airflow compared to standard vent openings. Enhanced wearing comfort is ensured by a sweatband on the forehead, which helps to prevent sweat buildup.
Helikon-Tex PL Woodland camouflage

Irregular patches of black, brown, and green, set against a gray-green base, offer effective concealment in both open fields and forested environments found in Poland as well as other Central European regions.

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.
