Boonie hats have long been my preference for bow hunting. I purchased the hat in mil-spec and real tree MAx 4 last summer(2011). The mi-spec hat was used on an August antelope hunt, 10 day muley and elk bowhunt, and then several times in fall/winter for waterfowl.
The mil-spec pattern is perfect for sagebrush. The hat kept my head cool and shaded in the heat. With occasional soakings it did even better. Later in the year with temps in the upper teens, the uninsulated hat was surprisingly warm.
It has held up to water, dirt, lots of sweat, briars and branches. Very softy and comfortable. While not fleece silent, it was quiet enough when slipping through the pines.The price was quite reasonable.
If you like Boonie style hats, I fully recommend this one.
Great hat and good quality, the only bad thing you need to consider when ordering is that they do run a bit small in the size. Other than that, it's a great hat!
