The BEST.
I got a Boonie in Ranger Green and the day after I got it, I took it to Colorado for an 8 day fishing trip, I had a lot of people ask me where I got it, because it immediately stands out over all other boonies. It looks Great and pperformed well in rain and HEAT. It was hot this year ! It has since been to the range and I might even get the nerve to just wear it just any old time, not just when Im outdoors. tomorrow Ill put it up against POLO driven storms in Texas. I went back and bought 2 more, 1 as a gift and the other for myself in another color. I love it and its just yet another great product from Patrick and Co. Keep it up, guys, this was a welcome surprise on my 2026 Bingo card!

I have one in each color...
The Apex Boonie Hat is an excellent, modern version of the beloved Boonie hat. I find the adjustable head band lets me dial in a perfect fit. The ventilation works pretty well. The shortened brim makes the hat all that more flexible and functional. I liked the first one so much, I bought one in each color.
