Does anybody know if there is an ECWCS version of the boonie cap? The only one I could find was a truspec one that looks like it has a double size brim on it.
It seems like something like this should exist. Nikiwax on my nyco cap does not seem to do the trick. |
| Waterproof boonies are an awesome thing.....if you can find one. I far prefer them when its raining and I'm out training, etc... as it allows me to still hear around me, unlike a hood. A wide brim is necessary to keep the water off of you, and running onto your rain coat instead of down your neck, etc.. The problem, is actually finding one that works. I like the ones from Tru-Spec and actually have 3 of them. I did trim the brim down on them just a smidge, but that is easy enough to do. The problem is, after you've been out in a hard or steady rain for more than about 10-15 minutes, they start leaking around the threads around the crown. I've tried using seam sealer on one, but for every row of thread I seal, the water finds another to start to leak through. |

Cabela's Gore-Tex Boonies FTW.
Cabela's Gore-tex Boonie has performed flawlessly for 5+ years now. Mine is in the Realtree pattern and works good as a system with my M-65 Jacket for hunting and general outdoors stuff. |

Not quite a boonie hat but here is another option if you are looking for multicam. Its a bit spendy...
