A winter boonie hat for the cold season

A winter boonie hat is for those who need a brim in the cold: it shields the eyes from snow and drizzle, which an ordinary beanie does not. An insulated boonie hat suits service, hunting, fishing and long hours outdoors, when your head must stay warm.

How the insulation works

The outer layer is softshell: it keeps the brim's shape and blocks the wind. Inside is a fleece lining that retains warmth and feels soft on the skin. Quilting across the crown and brim keeps the layers from shifting, so the hat keeps its look for a long time.

The downside of this design is that it gets hot on a warm day and cannot be packed down small like a cotton one. For spring and summer, keep a separate lightweight model, for example one of the tactical boonie hats for warm weather.

How to choose size and color

A tactical insulated boonie hat fits more snugly than a summer one, because the lining takes up some of the inner volume. If your head circumference falls between sizes 56, 58 or 60, take the larger one: the hat won't squeeze and will fit over a thin balaclava.

Choose the color to match your uniform and task. Multicam and MM-14 pixel suit field conditions, olive pairs with most gear, and a black boonie hat is handy in the city and wherever camouflage isn't needed.
