Engineered for Extreme Heat

Overheating and discomfort can compromise your focus, but the Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat keeps you cool and mission-ready with superior breathability. Made from advanced NyCo Extreme Ripstop fabric, it delivers exceptional tear resistance, quick-drying performance, and reliable protection for high-intensity activities in extreme heat, all while meeting rigorous No-Melt/No-Drip requirements.

Enhanced Ventilation

Strategically placed mesh vents on the front and back, combined with breathable fabrics, allow cool air to circulate while expelling heat. The hat’s moisture-wicking properties rapidly draw away sweat, keeping you dry, comfortable, and focused when it matters most.

AIR/PAC® Cooling Technology

Excessive heat and sweat can impair focus in the field. The hat’s integrated air/pac® system improves airflow and wicks away moisture, ensuring you stay cool and dry even in the most intense conditions.

Direct Sun Protection

Direct sun exposure can compromise focus and slow reaction times. The Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat features the air/pac® padding system, which creates a barrier protecting your head from direct heat, allowing you to remain cool, comfortable, and mission-ready.

Airflow Power-Up

The air/pac® insert works in conjunction with the ventilation openings to enhance airflow, allowing heat to escape and cool air to circulate. This keeps your temperature regulated, ensuring you stay focused and comfortable, even in the most extreme conditions.

Active Dry Control

The Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat’s air/pac® system actively wicks away moisture, preventing build-up and keeping you cool, dry, and comfortable throughout the day.

Make It Yours

Overheating and discomfort can compromise your performance and focus. The Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat keeps you cool and action-ready with unbeatable breathability and customizable camouflage, helping you stay in top form and blend into your environment, whether you’re at the range or deep in the field.

Flexible Brim

The front and back of the brim are reinforced with an extended wire, giving you greater flexibility to adjust it just right for optimal eye and neck shading.

3-Level Cord Adjustment

The adjustable cord ensures a secure fit, keeping the boonie hat locked in place, even in strong winds or during intense action. Plus, with three levels of fit to choose from, you can easily dial in the perfect fit for any situation.

Adapts to Surroundings

For additional camouflage, you can attach foliage around and on top of the boonie, allowing you to seamlessly blend into your surroundings and remain concealed when necessary. This feature makes the Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat perfect for stealth operations in various environments.

FAQ

What are the main differences between the Striker Gen.2 and Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat?

The Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat features several key updates compared to the Gen.2 model. It boasts a redesigned brim with a longer wire and improved shape for enhanced sun protection. The Velcro patches have been updated with new shapes, while the ventilation mesh has been repositioned for optimal airflow. Additionally, Gen.3 now includes an air/pac® insert, ensuring your head stays cool even in the warmest conditions.

Is the air/pac® insert compatible with the previous version of the Boonie Hat?

No, the air/pac® insert is not compatible with the previous version. The older model does not have a dedicated pocket for the insert, and the Striker Gen.3 Boonie Hat has been slightly redesigned for a more precise fit, making the insert specific to this generation.

What is the purpose of the brim?

The brim is designed to offer sun protection from all angles, ensuring maximum coverage. It can also be shaped into curves, which is crucial for camouflage in natural environments. Since flat surfaces are rare in nature, curved shapes help enhance concealment, making the hat more effective in tactical contexts.
