Military Boonie/Bucket Hats by Government Contractor;

The Marine Corps issue boonie hat is one of the best and most comfortable options to protect your head and eyes from the sun. With its 360° brim, the sun can't get into your eyes from the side either, as it would with a baseball cap. Maybe you can get similar protection with a 10-gallon cowboy hat, but ask yourself, 'Am I a cowboy?', you aren't and the hat wouldn't look right on you. The Genuine Issue US Marine Woodland Marpat boonie hat is made from a military grade 50/50 nylon / cotton blend with a twill weave, which makes it incredibly durable, no matter what exactly you plan on putting it through. The soft top of the hat makes it very easy to crush and put in your pocket or backpack as you go through the day, available the second you need it. On the side of the hat are metal screen vents to allow for air circulation, keeping your head cool. If it's really hot, try soaking the top of the hat in water, and let it evaporate while you wear it, taking the heat with it. The most environmentally conscious and easily accessible air conditioning you can find. This hat may not be quite the look you need to go with your tux to a wedding or state dinner, but when that isn't the look you're going for, this hat is pretty much the way to go.
