New Electronic Ear Pro Compatible Boonie Cap

[LRRPF52]

Here's the prototype for my new Electronic Hearing Protection Compatible Boonie Cap. The need for this was realized when spending all day in the sun, and I looked like someone had taken a propane torch to my face. When wearing normal boonie caps and electronic muffs, there isn't a good way to make the 2 work together.



I also incorporated a rear sun veil like an Aussie or Rhodesian bush hat for arid climates. The hat is ventilated fully above between the sweatband and the crown, and utilizes matching pile tape on top and the rear for those who need those features.

I wanted a hat with disrupted edge features, so I didn't use binding like one normally does on a hat, as I had cut down several of my boonies this way when I was in the Army. None of them ever frayed beyond the outer concentric seam on the brim.



The brim is extra wide, and the headband is adjustable by the wearer. I would like to get an idea as to how many forum members would genuinely be interested in this type of product, and camo pattern preferences. I intend to offer it initially in Multicam, A-TACS AU, and A-TACS FG.



I tested it out this past weekend during the DM course, and it worked great. The ventilation band is like an air-conditioner for your head when the breeze flows through it, so I'm looking forward to wearing this during the summer.
