Title: Best short-brim boonie hat for hunting??
Post by: Rando on September 04, 2025, 03:16:19 PM
Love my boonie hats and I've lost a few, and worn a few out over many seasons... Looking to purchase another one, appreciate shorter brims and quality construction. It's been a loooong time since I've looked at em, what do those of you who wear em like?
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Randy

I got one of these recently and I'm happy with it.  And it's made in USA.

These are not necessarily short brim,  but they are very soft and the brim will collapse and not get in the way,  or you can pre curl it out of the way .......... 
Maine Crusher ......  great quality made in Maine USA.  After I got my first one,  I bought 2 more right away.

I wore a boonie hat for years in the Marines. It served the purpose, but was never a big fan :dunno:
I've gotta agree with Eric, The Maine Crusher is a great hat!!!
The wool will keep your head a lot dryer, and warmer too!!  :thumbsup:
