The Versatile Boonie Hat

The boonie hat, also known as a boonie cover, sun hat, or jungle hat, is a wide-brimmed, lightweight cover originally designed for military use in hot climates. Favored by the US military, including the Marine Corps, this durable hat offers protection from the sun and rain. 

Quality boonies feature branch loops for camouflage and storage, plus a chin strap for a secure fit. Evolved from military gear, the boonie hat is now popular for fishing, hunting, hiking, and backpacking due to its versatility and adaptability to outdoor conditions. Its design, including a vented crown and flexible brim, makes it ideal for hot weather and adventurous activities. Boonies have been widely adopted in both military and civilian contexts.

About Navy Blueberry Camouflage

Featuring a distinctive blue and grey camouflage pattern, the uniform was designed for utility and durability. It was originally intended for shipboard use. It was retired in 2019.
