I just bought a UFPro Strike 2 boonie and absolutely love it the silhouette is just on point. Quality is on point made in Sweden too not from China at least what the label said I could be bamboozled tho
Thanks for making this video, very helpful review. I recently lost my Magellan boonie hat with inside pocket, all the other hats at Academy didnt have the covert hidden pocket, I was looking into this exact boonie hat, but was hesitant, the 5.11 website didnt mention the hidden pocket so was hesitant to buy it, but this hat seems very well put together and def going to make this purchase ASAP
Thanks! I’ve been wearing this one a lot. Best made Boonie style hat I’ve owned, Almost as good as my Tilley...which the Tilley is not really a Boonie...more of an Aussie style hat.
Thanks for the review. I’ve been on the fence about that same hat for awhile. Wondering how it looks and if it’s worth getting. Now I know. Thanks again. Looking forward to ordering the black camo boonie/bucket hat from 5.11
Useful video. Theis style of hat is really popular here in Australia. I've seen them in my local surplus store and they seem similar to the Helikon CPU Hat - 3 of which I own. The Helikon-Tex hats are made in Poland and have a detachable chin strap. They also come in Polycotton and cotton versions with a wider range of colours and camo's
Thanks for the review and showing the hat worn. It’s like I thought, not a very wide brim as on a normal Boonie. I love 5.11 quality, it’s as dependable as a Toyota but as I mainly need one for sun protection I’m gonna have to go with another brand this time.. a bit disappointing that it’s not wider but thanks. I already have a Propper Boonie which is great quality but need another color for work..happy to buy Propper again..
I wear the multi cam of the exact same hat for work because I'm out in the heat in the sun. I also wear in cold weather too, just flip my hood up. It keeps a small micro climate about my head, and keeps the hood in place.
Sounds like a good had!! I have a couple of the older made in USA boonies around. Last time I looked though (I may have mentioned this in the video..can't remember), the quality of the US made ones I could find were terrible. I'm still on the hunt though! Thanks for watching!
I always try to read labels and feel fabric quality & stitching when finding boonies hats , & find🇺🇲 mfg. As much as possible Say,dad had same head size 7-7/8 you gotta search or have custom made, size semi hard to find on the rack,, we still have his HS football helmet from 55'.no face guard.
I can't.... it fits just a bit too tight for me. Now with that said, a person could probably wear the muffs over the hat itself, but the side would have to be folded up. thanks for watching!!
"made in China" nope! I have a 100% cotton rip stop tiger stripe ( tiger stripe products ) made by R&B inc in the USA. It has the shortened 2 inch "shooters brim". Couldn't be happier.
los 5.11 son extremadamente grandes, tienen un diseño que es muy grande, a mi no me gusta por que el M/L es para cabezas grandes no es para cabeza talle M verdadero..

I'll have to check that one out. Thanks for watching!!
Such a useful hat! Tilley hats are super cool. The boonie hats remind me of fly fishermen. Not a bad thing, I hear it’s a truly relaxing lifestyle.

Nice hat. I understand the problems of trying to film yourself. I screw up alot. At least you know how to edit. Great video.
thanks rob!!
5.11 may call it a Boonie hat it looks more like a modified bucket hat.
Agree 100%. It’s a boonie bucket hat. 😜 thanks for watching!
Very nice review, thanks a lot! :-)

I have alot of boonie hats love them all. My favorite best fitting and most comfortable is my stetson no fly zone realtree camo.
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the review! It looks more like a bucket hat than a boonie but very nicely made nonetheless.

What would be useful to put in the map pocket? Obviously you can put a map inside. Do you know of anything else?
I would maybe do some emergency cash, book of matches in a ziplock bag, flat section of Gorilla tape, maybe a fresnel lens? Thanks for watching!!
The hat is based more on a British military sun hat , the shorter brim gives you better perfrefeble vision.

Are you able to wear over ear muff protection?
I can't.... it fits just a bit too tight for me. Now with that said, a person could probably wear the muffs over the hat itself, but the side would have to be folded up. thanks for watching!!
This hat is approved to use at my job, so I've been using it at work everyday 👍
Thanks for watching!
A donde los compraste ,amigo? Me interesa uno así!
Thanks for watching!
Is it nir protected?
I don't see any claims about that at 5.11, so I'd guess no. Thanks for watching!!

@@HillbillyMusings the thing is ..I really like the 5.11, it looks nice, real good in fact. Came close to getting one.
los 5.11 son extremadamente grandes, tienen un diseño que es muy grande, a mi no me gusta por que el M/L es para cabezas grandes no es para cabeza talle M verdadero..
Thanks for watching!
@@HillbillyMusings no hay porque buen video,
How much cotton and polyester?
I just checked and surprisingly the tag doesn't list the breakout. It may have been on the original sales tag possibly. Thanks for watching!
