I’ve got boonies in every Camo pattern and a desert sand color I bought 30 years ago. They are all short brim though. This one is more like the old Marine wide brim type. Love the coyote brown. Thanks for the introduction Gabriel.
Loving my one size fits all Tru Spec boonie hats since I can wear ear protection / hearing protection under the boonie hat for sun protection. It’s a step up from decades of specific sized boonie hats! Peace Be The Journey!
Not a bad price point on that hat. Looks to be very warm. Around here it would be fall or spring. Nice wide brim keeps the sun off the neck. And waterproof. I'm not sure about that drawstring sizing deal. I like one that fits. Thanks for posting.
At first, I wasn't too sure about the drawstring either. I cut about 8" off of it and put a barrel lock on it instead of having to untie and tie it each time I needed to adjust. I developed a new appreciation for it after realizing I could fit my beanie or balaclava under the hat.
Great review Gabriel! I wonder if it will fit a med-larg bald guys head? lol Maybe some spray waterproofing on the stitched seams might fix the problem. Thanks again and keep 'em coming!! vr, Shannon
Great video. Semper Fi. USMC 78 to 81. Just wondering in your Alice pack mod video you have an old sleep system bag. I can’t find one anywhere. Do you all have a surplus store near you that has lots of old school stuff. Hard to find good surplus anymore. Thank you

I really enjoy that wide brim!
It's nice to have you guys back posting great content and reviews.

I hope you like yours as well as I do mine!
A good hat is invaluable. 👍
Indeed!
is that the tru-spec Gen ii from amazon ? That was a great video . I will watch fo more in the fall and winter . Thanks , Bob
It is the Tru-spec from Amazon: amzn.to/3OxBQex
Citizen Promaster watch would be my guess..nice if that's correct.
It appears that you are a man of taste, correct you are sir!
Ah ha.
The boonie is nice as well. I wear the cotton rip stop tiger stripe.
Simple yet effective.
And ---a Promaster !!
Seems we're both men of taste.

I have a pretty big head, most of the USGI XL boonies are a little tight on me.
Was that the 16 dollar hat from amazon? thanks , Bob😊
It used to be, now it's 23$
Well thank you , I will be looking into that my friend. Have a really great day and fun with your next project . Best to you and dad and every one.

Thank you for your service, AJP! Sadly, all of our local surplus stores have closed down. The closest to me is is about and hour and half away.
