Mod 3 is an updated variant of the classic Boonie Hat, introduced by the US during the Vietnam War and employed by multiple countries in other conflicts. While designed primarily for use in hot tropical climates, the Boonie hat saw widespread use in various biomes and is considered one of the most popular hats used by the military.
Mod 3 Boonie Hat is manufactured from high-quality rip-stop textile in a Multicam camouflage pattern. It features several improvements over the original design. The rim of the hat was slightly narrowed down to prevent snags in bushes and heavy foliage without omitting the hat's performance. Another modification is the addition of a piece of fabric that allows for the attachment of branches and vegetation, thereby increasing the hat's camouflage properties and breaking down the head's silhouette. The additional hook-and-loop panel is placed at the rear and on top of the hat to attach patches and identification panels.
Four holes were added on the side of the hat to increase the ventilation. A simple yet effective chin strap prevents the hat from falling off. It allows a small degree of length adjustment thanks to the polymer stopper.
The Mod 3 Boonie Hat is an ideal choice for military applications and other outdoor activities, such as hiking, trekking, and competitive shooting, making it a versatile piece of headwear.
