Boonie Hat Mk2 - Polycotton Stretch Ripstop - Desert Night Camouflage - Helikon

The Boonie Mk2 by Helikon in Desert Night Camouflage / Desert Night Camo is a bush hat designed for outdoor activities, bushcraft and field use. This modernised version retains the spirit of the classic boonie, but with a lighter, more compact construction better suited to active use. The Desert Night Camo variant is indeed offered in the official range.

Lightweight, compact and easy to carry

One of the great assets of the Boonie Mk2 is its lightweight and compact design when folded. Helikon indicates that the model has been redesigned with fewer layers of material and an improved design, making it more comfortable to wear and easier to pack in a pocket or bag.

Quick-drying for active outdoor use

The official product sheet specifies that the hat dries quickly, making it practical for hiking, bushcraft or outings in changeable weather. This feature improves comfort during prolonged use, especially after light rain or perspiration.

Ventilation eyelets for better comfort

The Boonie Mk2 features mesh ventilation eyelets, designed to improve air circulation. This detail allows for better heat dissipation than a more enclosed boonie, making it more comfortable in mild or warm weather.

Reflective interior useful in case of emergency

Helikon also highlights a reflective material on the interior, designed to improve visibility in an emergency. This is a discreet but useful detail on outdoor equipment, especially in a context of signalling or quick identification.
