UF PRO Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat - MultiCam
Constructed from Nyco Extreme fabric with a 185 g/m2 grammage, this hat combines rugged Cordura fibers with breathable cotton for superior comfort and durability. Enhanced with a Rip-Stop weave, the material is engineered to resist tearing or fraying, even if punctured or damaged in specific spots. Essential gear for anyone seeking lightweight yet resilient head protection, reliable for demanding off-road adventures as well as daily use.
NyCo Extreme - durable Cordura and breathable cotton
The Cordura incorporated in the design features exceptional durability. Owing to its unique fibre structure, it delivers outstanding resistance to mechanical damage, even under demanding and prolonged use.
Cotton delivers excellent moisture management and breathability, significantly reducing the possibility of chafing or skin irritation for superior comfort during extended wear.
The robust Rip-Stop weave integrates thicker threads into a grid pattern, strengthening the fabric and limiting the spread of any damage.
Adjustable circumference and brim, air cushion, vents
The circumference of the hat can be quickly customized using an elastic cord with a stopper. The brim incorporates an integrated wire, enabling it to conform precisely to the wearer’s head shape.
Enhanced comfort is ensured by an internal air cushion, which forms an extra insulating layer to assist in regulating body temperature. Offering effective protection, the cushion remains exceptionally lightweight and does not substantially add to the hat’s overall mass.
Mesh vents placed at both the front and rear provide optimal airflow and promote effective ventilation.
Small utility pocket, durable loops, velcro panels
A durable webbing equipped with loops is stitched above the brim for carrying additional gear and for attaching camouflage. The design also includes an internal flat pocket for organizing essential items.
Velcro panels on the cap enable the attachment of various patches and insignia, such as national flags, unit badges, or Morale Patches.

Camouflage MultiCam
MultiCam represents an advanced camouflage pattern, engineered in 2002 by the US-based Crye Precision in collaboration with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs), as part of the Objective Force Warrior initiative. Designed to deliver exceptional versatility, the pattern excels across a range of terrains and fluctuating environmental conditions. Employing seven distinct colors, the MultiCam design features gradient transitions among greens, browns, and beiges, enabling seamless adaptation to diverse backgrounds—shifting toward green hues in woodland settings and blending into tans and browns in arid landscapes. In the varied terrains of Central and Eastern Europe, it proves especially effective during autumn and amid dried vegetation. The global military community recognizes MultiCam for its outstanding performance, leading to widespread adoption among military forces and special operations units. In 2010, the US Army officially selected this camouflage for troops deployed in Afghanistan, replacing the former Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). Widely accessible to civilians, the pattern remains a top pick for outdoor enthusiasts, military hobbyists, and airsoft players alike.

I am definitely satisfied with the purchase of this hat. It protects the head well on hot days when the sun is blazing, but it also works well on cloudy - cooler days. The hat is light and airy, very well made - definitely worth its price.
-
The hat was tested the next day after picking it up in a mountain area and I have to admit that it is really airy and very light. The flexible brim allows you to configure practically the whole circumference, which is a big plus. The workmanship is of the highest level, this is my third hat, this time from UF PRO, and I have to admit that my two Helikon boonie hats can now retire. I recommend it with a clear conscience.

Size: XL
An excellent hat, made with great attention to detail, which I used during mountain expeditions. The Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat by UF PRO stands out for its solid workmanship, comfort, and very good fit. It is lightweight, provides good protection from the sun, and remains comfortable even during long hikes. Its design has been carefully thought out, and the MultiCam camouflage gives it a distinctive look. It is high-class gear that performs excellently on the trails and is definitely worth recommending.

Ufpro once again shows its class — it has accompanied me many times already and effectively protected me from insects. 👍👍👍👍👍 I would buy Boonies again without hesitation, because quite simply they are second to none. ☺️

Size: XL
This is already my second UFPRO Boonie hat. In my opinion, it is exceptionally comfortable to wear, and although I usually choose baseball caps for everyday use, I was looking for something better ventilated for summer, and at the same time I really liked the concept of the cooling insert. I recommend it to everyone.

Size: L
This is the best boonie hat I’ve had so far. It’s obviously nothing extraordinary, but its big advantage is the better ventilation, which helps keep you cool during long hikes. What I appreciate most, though, is the metal wire sewn into the brim, which lets you shape it properly so it doesn’t look like a limp rag. UF PRO also offers an optional cooling insert, although I haven’t tested it yet; I sweat enough that in a way it works on its own. The only thing I could nitpick is the Velcro layout — a rear ID panel would be useful, but that’s a minor detail, because if needed I can sew one on myself.

Size: L
I wholeheartedly recommend this purchase. I measured my head circumference at 58–59 cm, so I chose size L, which fits perfectly. The ventilation works very well. Thanks to the flexible drawstring, the boonie can be securely adjusted at the back of the head, so it does not fall off even while riding a quad bike. I am very satisfied with this product and plan to buy another one.

Size: XXL
So far I have only used it for a short time, but my first impressions are very good; compared with the earlier Boonie that I had been using until now, it is a huge difference. It is a high-quality product.
-
The hat from UF PRO is a great choice for hot summer days, such as during mountain hikes. It provides better protection for the ears and neck than a baseball cap. The ventilation holes do their job by allowing air to pass through.
-
This is already my second hat that I have bought – the first one was in the MultiCam shade. I am very glad that the Woodland version was available again, and this purchase brought me a lot of joy. I definitely recommend this product.
-
On a daily basis, I choose baseball caps, but I was looking for something more breathable for the summer and was intrigued by the cooling insert feature. I’m not usually a fan of these types of hats, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by its comfort and how much cooler it was compared to a classic cap.
