Important Fitting Notes
- Wired Brim: This specific boonie features a wire-reinforced brim. This allows you to shape the brim for better visibility or maximum sun protection, but it does not affect the internal head sizing.
- Boonie Fit Preference: Unlike structured field caps, boonie hats are often preferred with a slightly looser fit for better airflow in hot desert conditions.
- Measurement Tip: If your head circumference is exactly 61cm, moving up to a 62 can provide a more comfortable, breathable fit, especially since these issued polycotton items may have shrunk slightly during previous military laundering.
- Neck Flap: As seen in the image, this model typically includes a neck flap for additional protection from sun and sand.
