UF PRO Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat - Tan
Crafted from 185 g/m2 Nyco Extreme fabric, this hat combines resilient Cordura fibers with breathable cotton. Enhanced by a Rip-Stop weave, the material resists tearing and fraying, even when subjected to local abrasion. Designed for those needing lightweight yet robust headgear, the hat performs reliably in demanding environments as well as in everyday use.
NyCo Extreme - durable Cordura and breathable cotton
The Cordura utilized in the manufacturing process boasts exceptional durability. Owing to its unique fiber composition, the material delivers outstanding resistance to mechanical wear, maintaining its integrity even under demanding and prolonged use.
Cotton ensures excellent moisture management and superior breathability, significantly reducing the likelihood of chafing or skin irritation. Such properties provide a high level of comfort throughout extended wear.
A denser Rip-Stop weave incorporates reinforced threads that create a grid structure, effectively strengthening the fabric and inhibiting the progression of any potential damage.
Adjustable circumference and brim, air cushion, ventilation holes
Hat circumference is effortlessly adjustable thanks to an elastic cord with a stopper. A built-in wire within the brim ensures a precise fit to the user’s head shape.
Enhanced comfort is provided by an internal air cushion, offering an extra layer of insulation to support optimal body temperature regulation. Providing effective protection, the hat remains exceptionally lightweight without notably increasing its weight.
Strategically placed mesh ventilation vents at both the back and front deliver unrestricted airflow.
Pocket for small items, durable loops, velcro panels
Over the brim, durable webbing with loops is securely stitched, making it possible to attach essential gear or add camouflage. The design also features a flat inner pocket ideal for keeping small necessities close at hand.
Velcro panels positioned on the hat offer a spot for attaching various patches or emblems, whether displaying a national flag, a unit insignia, or Morale Patches.

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: L
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
The boonie is characterized by high quality and an excellent fit. It provides great protection from the sun on hot days, is lightweight, breathable, and sits comfortably on the head. I recommend it to everyone.

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.

Great UF Pro hat, I opted for the MultiCam version, it provides excellent protection from the sun. I believe this is the best hat available on the market. I am eagerly waiting for the Woodland color to be available so I can buy a second one. I highly recommend this hat, it's amazing.
