“The FR (fire resistant) Boonie design came to live as
an answer to poor boonie designs available to soldiers here
in the Netherlands. The requirements where: a comfortable
fit without any irritation during prolonged wear, short brim
and as little metal as possible. First concepts were made
in-house and prototypes where to follow from our factory
here in the EU. Late last year we were satisfied with the
design and the first batches made. The final design is based
around lightweight moist wicking FR and Non-FR material.
This keeps the weight down and makes it easily packable
when not worn. We believe it’s one of the most comfortable
boonies out there on the market today.”
