While here in the colonies we call a loaded march “rucking”, our former colonial overlords have a different, far goofier name for it. They call it yomping. And what better way to yomp than with the coolest desert camo pattern around and in boonie 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.
It comes with a shorter reinforced brim compared to the traditional jungle boonie. 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…
Specs
Sizing
Measure the widest circumference around the top of your forehead where the lip of the hat would rest. From what we've found these hats are pretty spot on to their size.
Condition
Boonie Hats are in great condition with only minors signs of use and no tears, stains, rips, or holes. May or may not come with chinstrap, but this can easily be replaced with milspec shock cord. May have additional patches sewn in.

Looks as pictured, and described
Cool hat too.
YOLO
It’s a nice hat, not much else to say about it really
I'm smaller than a US MIL size 7. Slightly tight with the 55cm. Caused my Pineal Gland to swell like a Hidden Valley Bean.
Now I have to think with the other one.
Otherwise, awesome hat. And now have three eyes.🧿
I like the short brim and the chinstrap is awesome.
