Anyone know where to get "real" boonie hats?
Boonie or Sun Hats as they are officially known.
I mean a REAL one contracted in the USA that we would otherwise be issued out of CIF. I have looked high and low, and am only finding non USA made knock offs. They don't have them on-line via the Exchange

I swear to you, Quicksilver made the best Boonie hat for years, but they outsourced it to China and it went to S*&i7%T. I lost mine boating. It blew off and I never got it back. My wife still has hers.
There's a killin' to be made with a real booney hat.

When I try to find the actual boonie only small ones are out there on ebay or surplus. I think we all know what we want. Rip Proof material (same as blouse and pant material, then with the slight slant on the top. I admit, I "could" go to a clothing and sales and see if they have them, but it's not worth it to go on post with CV-19 conditions, etc... Ironically, I probably wouldn't otherwise "care", but I met a guy once at a range. He drove up in a Mclaren. I'm of course holding in my car envy. Anyway, he had a boonie too, and he asked me where I got mine, and I told him I got it for free when I deployed. Then showed him the inner label, which wasn't anything like his inner label. Then he actually showed that look of envy. It was quite funny. Anyway............ without that experience I probably wouldn't be so hard up on trying to find an actual government contract made one, and just get something close.

Get deployed and order from Kyloc by your 9th month in country you should have a stack... or at least I do since it's all use or lose allowance. NTC used to have them at clothing sales, but that was back when UCP was a thing.
