Sir I could not see properly. .did the USMC cover have a snap on feature to it?
You’re a very good presenter. I stopped at pacific dominance. I’m off to find it.
How do I buy USMC MARPAT Desert Digital in Vietnam?
You can pretty much make any hat water proof by spraying it with WD40, or animal fat, but it will make you more noticeable to animal smell.
Yo, could we see u in the hats? That would be nice.
HEY DICKWEED, ITS NOT A BASEBALL CAP, ITS THE STANDARD UTILITY COVER
thats not a baseball hat, thats a patrol cap.
You are going to hell for blending fabrics
also, the latest boonie hat i bought was made by tru-spec. i like it solely for the reason that it has a little storage pocket inside the crown-of-the head area.
So Tru Spec is now producing the Atlanco products….any changes since 2013?
next time wear them to see how they look on the head.
I got 2 same color as yours and a woodland camo
Not call a baseball cap … cover
the video doesnt show to well but is the R and B bonnie hat a little taller at the back? The hat has a slant forward on top .
And desert camo
Which boonie do you recommend? I plan on using it when I go to the beach and for kayak/kayak fishing trips. I also kind of want the twig loops to be tight to the hat so I could stitch/sew some big patches on it. Thanks Craig!
Found your Bonnie Hat comparison very useful! Thanks for taking the time to share!!
I like the brown ones because I feel like Indiana jones. : )
Nothing beats the South African army bush hat which was issued in the 1970-1988 period. It is unique to South Africa and we manipulated it in many ways. We stripped the thread in the brim and washed it in Sunlight soap to fade it – this gave it “Houding” (attitude). It gave good protection against the African sun.
i have so many marine corps covers haha they are great

Which one has the widest brim would you say? I can’t find the Frederick online. It seems to have widest brim. No?
The circumference of my head is exactly 22″ (that’s when it’s wrapped on my head tight) should I get a medium (22 5/8) or large (23 1/2)? HELP
For 4 bucks a piece
Can i have the link for the USMC MARPAT in Desert Digital ?? or something similar to this hat
Nope Crye or Platac. Propper is crap.
I have the Rothco and its a tough brute. Mine has done the whole number – bushwhacking, car-washing, beach duty, you name it – and it has saved my dome a number of times. It IS very sweat-stained now though. Bear in mind a hat is not only good for sun protection. If you are moving through thorny bush it can save your dome from nasty scrapes too, especially if you have more head than hair like me. I like boonies because they can be folded up and stashed in your bag for when you need ’em. Personally I think light weight is critical.

Wish you had talked about the Proper while you were holding it. Man, poor hat must have felt like a wallflower.
I use a 3 color usgi boonie… size 7.5 got it for $.99 as the high bidder plus shipping on flea bay. Less then $5.00 total. Serki (USMC USN) does make a great boonie.
I’ve been telling all of my photographer friends to buy boonie hats for protection from the sun. I get mine at a local surplus store but I’m I think I’m going to check out some of the ones you suggested here.
Good video. Should have had a Tru Sec in there for good measure. I recently picked up an R&B from a local Army Surplus shop. They are spot on. I like the shorter brim, but still not in bucket territory. I also have a Tilley, to be honest I think I prefer the R&B, it sits a bit lighter on the head. Plus you can buy 5 R&B for the price of a Tilley.
How is the rothco compared to the propper? which one has a deeper bucket? thanks
not baseball cap. 8 point cover.
Is the Atlanco by tru-spec USA made?
