HAZARD 4SunTac: Cotton Boonie Hat w/MOLLE

Was a bit too tight / small for my head (I wear a 7 1/4 - 7 5/8 fitted baseball cap / 210 Flexfit for reference) so I gave it to my mom and it fits her much better. It's a nice hat for a woman's head.

I bought 6 khaki color boonie hats so here is my review of them, in order of my preference:Hazard 4 SunTac: best of them all for me, due to it being the lightest in color which is what I wanted, plus it is excellent in construction and materials. It also had the stiffest brim and holds the rolled shape I like the best. The Molle straps were a bonus but I would have rather had it with the traditional band rather than Velcro. I cut the stitches off the Velcro on the top of the crown and it came off cleanly. I would have rather had the vents in khaki color rather than black, but not a big deal. It has snaps to hold the sides up sort of like a cowboy hat but the brim holds the shape without those (but as it wears in the snaps might be a good thing). This was my favorite of the 6 I bought from Amazon and it is better than genuine military issue.Rothko 5815: like a carbon copy of the military issue one I got from my uncle. Great choice as well. It is a darker khaki, more of a medium tan as opposed to the beige of the Hazard 4. I wanted a lighter color so am returning the Rothko. Pics on Amazon make it hard to tell the exact color. The vents are black. No snaps for the sides of the brim.AimTrend: the tag on it said Fox Outdoor Extreme Endurance. It is also a darker Khaki. It is maybe a little thinner material but not by much. Khaki colored vents and no snaps. It is a little looser fit and my head is exactly 7-1/2". The color is lighter than the Rothko but still a fair amount darker than the Hazard 4. Seems like a solid choice too.The Hat Depot: the label says "Newhattan New a fashions of New York". It is NOT rip stop material. Dark grey shiny metal vents and no snaps. a little lighter color than the AimTrend hat, and it has a bit more grey in the color but still a decent khaki color. Despite the "Newhattan fashion" label it seems like a sturdy enough hat but...Prikinder: dark grey and pre-faded. Very flimsy and seems like something you would get at a beach t-shirt shop. The mesh "band" is a nice idea tho. My least favorite.The Hazard and Rothko are great, with the AimTrend not far behind. The others aren't bad just not as good.

Great boonie hat, true to size, very well made and comfortable. The mesh on the vents is a good touch; keeps out any stray bugs that might want to get through. One observation (not a complaint) though: the crown of the hat is made of what appears to be a rip-stop kind of fabric, not truly a cotton twill as shown in the picture.

This hat is outstanding and offers a lot of versatility in how it can be used. I have always liked Hazard 4 gear and this hat does not disappoint in any way. The materials are great as is the styling. I would like to see a more heavy duty design for the chin strap but that is my personal preference. Overall, another great piece of gear from H4. How about a black-colored version...Thank you.

Had this with me in the Far East. Absolutely love it. Size up if you want to wear something under,like a bandana etc.Size large fits my large head somewhat loose. Since it's cotton(haven't washed it yet,so can't comment on shrinkage), size up a bit of you can.
