British Desert DPM Nape Hat

While here in the colonies we call a loaded march “rucking”, our former colonial overlords have a different, far goofier name. They call it yomping.  And what better way to yomp than with the coolest desert camo pattern around and in jungle hat form.

Desert DPM originally consisted of subdued sand and khaki hues when it was first developed in the late 1980's. However, some rather intrepid Middle Eastern countries figured that the original four toned desert pattern worked pretty darn well. Thus the British had to replace the sand and khaki hues with a light brown on sand derivative. Something to do with a Storm in the Desert. 

With its reinforced brim and drawstring retention it’ll stay safely on your head in all but the worst conditions. It also sports air vents to keep your noggin at optimal temperature. Biomechanics anyone? The added cherry on top is the “molle like” scrim holders around the band of the hat. That way you stay nice and hidden for your recce patrols to get your chicken tendies…
