BACKGROUND: First introduced in 1941 as the “Daisy Mae hat’, It was originally intended to issue these to all troops except for armored vehicle personnel, who were to be issued the HBT cap instead. However, the caps were more popular with everyone which led to the Daisey Mae being declared limited standard in 1943 and gradually phased out. It wasnt until 1967 that the U.S. Army began issuing the modern “boonie hats”, made of cotton and wind-resistant poplin, in olive drab, tigerstripe, and ERDL pattern(Very close to M81 Woodland). It was meant to supplement and replace the patrol and baseball caps that had been in service since World War II. As the U.S. military evolved away from a garrison mentality, the boonie hat found a permanent place as part of the uniform of all services. The boonie hat has changed little through the decades since the Vietnam War and was used in the Iraq War and still in the War in Afghanistan as an alternative to the patrol cap. The U.S. military boonie hat has come in a variety of camouflage patterns, of which we are expanding upon the patterns and offering a few more! 65% polyester & 35% Cotton Rip-stop material. Highly comfortable. Head size [ 7 1/2″ ] or [ 59-60cm ] (1-2cm variation range is nominal). Air vents on both sides of hat. Adjustable strap will tighten onto chin or lower back of the head. Reinforced brim. Built with 100% rip-stop material, (all except for desert marpat, which is built of standard fabric and is still extremely high quality).
