UF PRO Boonie Gen.3 is a next-generation tactical hat designed specifically for extreme heat conditions. It seamlessly blends the time-tested design of the classic military boonie with advanced thermoregulation and comfort technologies.
It is the ideal choice for military personnel, special forces operators, tactical instructors, shooters, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone training or operating under the scorching sun.
Key Features & Technologies
1. Innovative air/pac® Cooling & Ventilation
The standout feature of the Gen.3 is the integrated air/pac® system. It creates an air barrier between your head and the fabric, ensuring even weight distribution, continuous airflow, and active moisture wicking. Combined with mesh ventilation vents, it guarantees an optimal microclimate even during peak temperatures.
2. High-Tech Fabrics (NyCo Extreme)
Crafted from state-of-the-art NyCo Extreme ripstop fabric, this boonie is significantly lighter and stronger than traditional alternatives. It features No-Melt / No-Drip properties (will not melt or drip when exposed to heat or open flame), dries rapidly, and provides high UV protection.
3. Adaptive Shape & Secure Fit
-
Moldable Brim: Heavy-duty wire is embedded into both the front and back of the brim, allowing you to shape it for customized sun protection for your eyes and neck.
-
Anatomical Retention: A paracord chin strap with three adjustment levels keeps the hat securely in place during high winds, running, or dynamic movement.
4. Integrated Camouflage Loops
Loops are sewn around the circumference of the crown to attach local vegetation or strips of camo netting. This enables you to break up your head outline and blend into the surrounding environment in seconds.
5. Velcro Panels for Identification
Features dedicated hook-and-loop (Velcro) areas to attach IR beacons, unit identifiers, or morale patches.
