One of the better hats. The wide brim provides complete protection from the sun. A large proportion of the material is polyester, and you can feel it, but that's the trade-off. It works well in the tropics.

Military cap crafted from PolyCotton RipStop fabric (65% cotton, 35% polyester), known for excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing, while remaining lighter and quicker to dry than pure cotton. A removable cover shields the neck from sunlight, and an adjustable cord with stopper ensures an optimal fit for the wearer.
A special tape stitched around the brim creates a loop system for attaching camouflage or small accessories. Additional details include side ventilation holes with mesh lining to keep insects out.

A hat not only for missions in the Guiana region, but also for vacations in the mountains or anywhere you need better protection from the sun. The neck flap is removable. Quality is ok.

I chose the model in olive color and size S. The size matches the description and the craftsmanship is of high quality. Very comfortable to wear, and the neck protector can be easily tucked away by sliding it in. I would definitely buy it again!

Well made, comfortable, practical neck cover that protects from sunburn, sizing matches what is listed by the store, an ideal solution for people looking for head and neck protection from the sun.

The quality-to-price ratio is generally fine, but it's worth knowing that the hat does not have a sweat-absorbing band. The place where the brim is sewn to the main part of the hat presses against my forehead, which makes it uncomfortable after wearing it for a longer time. Even cheaper hats from Decathlon have layers of material overlapping each other. To ensure comfort, I have to wear a merino wool band under it.

For this price, it's hard to complain about anything. I took it on safari and it worked well. I suspect it should also be fine for the backyard in summer. The only downside is the size issue—something didn't go right for the manufacturer here.

Nice hat, the brim doesn’t deform even after being kept in a backpack where it could get squashed. Breathable, provides good protection from the sun. The only thing I’d change is instead of Velcro for attaching the neck cover, I’d use snaps on the brim of the hat for better air ventilation. Despite this, I recommend it.
-
Good price and protection as well. However, if you’re looking for something identical to the picture and in size XXL, it won’t be exactly the same. The XXL size was supposed to be 2 cm bigger than XL, but it’s only 1 cm larger when stretched. There are also no ventilation holes like in the picture and on the XL size. Generally, I’d return it for non-conformity but I’ve already removed the tag, so I’ll just keep it. It’s a pity I got a different (worse) product for the same price as someone with a head circumference 2 cm smaller :(

I am satisfied. I am used to buying size S, but it turned out to be too small. I gave it to my son and bought M for myself. I am satisfied, my son is too. It works great, even in the strongest sun. I have the Coyote color and it is really nice.

The hat matches the description. Its advantage is the attachable neck cover, which can literally save your skin. The hat doesn't have side fasteners, but you can secure the sides using the chin cord. I recommend it.
-
The hat is made of solid material, comfortable to wear, and the size matches the size chart. High quality workmanship. Great choice for this price. The detachable neck cover will come in handy in the summer. I recommend it.

I give 5 because I have nothing to complain about. Good quality material, good stitching and decent finishing. Good fit, I wore it on a kayaking trip and even strong wind didn’t blow it off my head, and if it did, there’s a chin strap. My head doesn’t sweat. The neck protector is made of the same material as the hat, so it’s a bit stiff, sometimes that’s a disadvantage, but in other situations it’s an advantage. The price is very reasonable.

The Mil-Tec British R/S Boonie hat with a neck cover in Olive color is a great choice! It provides excellent protection against the sun and rain, and the additional neck cover ensures full protection. High quality workmanship and a comfortable fit. I recommend it!

Overall, the hat is fantastic, it fits me perfectly. Useful in a hot climate – the Arabian Peninsula. The only inconvenience is that mine arrived without the neck protector.
