Boonie hat (also known as “bush hat”, “giggle hat”, or “ranger hat”) is a type of wide-brimmed hat commonly used in outdoor activities, particularly in hot and humid environments. Originally developed for military use, boonie hats are characterized by their wide brims, adjustable chin straps, and sometimes a webbing band around the crown for affixing foliage or camouflage material for added concealment. They are made from lightweight and breathable materials such as cotton or nylon, making them suitable for use in warm weather conditions. Boonie hats are popular among hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts for providing protection from the sun and elements while offering comfort and practicality during outdoor adventures.
