- description
A boonie keeps the sun and rain off your face and breaks up the outline of your head, which is why it has outlasted plenty of newer headgear. It is light, packs flat into a pocket and does not trap heat the way a helmet does.
Kombat make it from polycotton ripstop, which resists small tears from snagging on brambles, with an adjustable webbing chin strap to keep it on when you move fast or the wind picks up. Choose plain black, or BTP to match British Terrain Pattern kit.

Good to know before you buy
Boonies are not head protection. Wear eye protection and lower-face protection as your site requires.
If you sit between sizes, the larger size with the chin strap snugged up is usually the more comfortable choice.
Frequently asked questions
Which size should I order?
Kombat do not publish head measurements. If you are unsure, ask us before ordering.
Will it stay on in the wind?
The adjustable webbing chin strap is there for exactly that.
What is ripstop?
A weave with reinforcing threads running through it, so a small snag does not spread into a tear.
Do you have other colours?
Kombat make it in more colours and sizes than we list. Ask us if you want one.
