PolyCotton Stretch Ripstop Bush Hat - PL Woodland - Helikon

The Boonie Mk2 by Helikon in PL Woodland is a bush hat designed for outdoor activities, bushcraft and field use. This second modernised version retains the spirit of the classic boonie, but with a lighter, more compact construction better suited to active use.

Lightweight, compact and easy to carry

One of the great assets of the Boonie Mk2 is its lightweight and easily foldable design. The consulted product sheets indicate that it has been redesigned with fewer layers of material, which improves comfort and makes it easier to pack in a pocket or bag.

Quick-drying for active outdoor use

The model is described as quick-drying, meaning it dries quickly, making it practical for hiking, survival or everyday outdoor use. The PolyCotton Stretch Ripstop fabric combines comfort, structure and good moisture management after rain or perspiration.

Ventilation eyelets for better comfort

The hat features mesh ventilation eyelets, designed to improve air circulation. This increases comfort in warm conditions or during prolonged effort, by limiting heat build-up under the hat.

Reflective interior useful in case of emergency

Helikon also highlights a reflective material on the interior, useful for signalling your position or increasing visibility in an emergency. This is a discreet but highly relevant detail for field equipment. Sources also mention a special loop allowing the hat to be attached to a compatible Raid shirt.
