Introducing the all-new Ripstop Boonie Hat, a true upgrade from its predecessor. While we've retained the classic shape that makes this hat so iconic, we've taken things to the next level by using 100% recycled ripstop cotton for superior durability and comfort.

Waxed Ripstop Boonie Hat

At WAWWA, we believe that every product we create should serve a purpose, and the Ripstop Boonie Hat is no exception. We knew we wanted to take the iconic boonie hat and make it even better, and we did just that by designing a hat that is not only functional but also sustainable.

As we brainstormed ideas for the Ripstop Boonie Hat, we knew we wanted to use high-quality materials that would last for years. That's why we chose to use 100% organic ripstop cotton, which is not only durable but also environmentally friendly. We also added a wax finish to make the hat waterproof, so you can stay protected no matter the weather.

But we didn't stop there. We wanted to make the Ripstop Boonie Hat even more practical, so we added a concealed pocket. This pocket is perfect for storing small items like keys or cash, so you can keep your valuables safe while you're out and about. It's a small but significant feature that we're proud to have included.

We take sustainability seriously at our company, which is why we chose to manufacture the Ripstop Boonie Hat in-house in Manchester, UK. This allowed us to closely monitor the production process and ensure that we were using ethical and sustainable practices. We also added a recycled polyester brand label, further reducing our environmental impact.

Overall, we designed the Ripstop Boonie Hat with functionality, sustainability, and durability in mind. We wanted to create a hat that you could rely on for years to come, while also minimizing our impact on the environment. So whether you're hiking through the jungle or exploring the city, the Ripstop Boonie Hat is the perfect companion for any adventure.

Waxed Ripstop Boonie Hat FAQs

The word is abbreviated from Boondock, American military slang for the Tagalog word 'Bundok' picked up during the Phillipine-American war (the Tagalog people make up a quarter of the population of the Phillipines).

A boonie hat or bush hat has a wide brim, often bucket-style hat that is typically worn for protection from the sun and other elements. They are made from a variety of different material, including canvas, cotton, or polyester. Some boonie hats also feature vents or mesh panels to help keep the head cool.

Originally designed for military forces, they were made so army men and women could have better protection while in the jungle and were often made with camouflage patterns and in an earthy colour. The brim of the hat helped to keep the sun and rain off their face, while the soft material prevented any kind of insect from biting them. They would have branch loops on the crown so that camouflage could be added in the form of additional vegetation, such as jungle foliage. They came into world prominence when given to the US army during the vietnam war where fabric tape band was added to hold additional vegetation.

Yes, boonie hats are not gender-specific and can be worn by anyone who wants protection from the sun and elements.
