Huntinslabs Boonie Hat Search

So I'm looking for just the right Boonie Hat. I can't find any at my normal wholesale providers (ssactivewear, and VirviniaTs). I'm thinking we want the coolest one possible. I see many that are cotton/polyester elsewhere but not any at all through my providers. I do find one at BPS that I think would be perfect, it's got a polly lining, and nylon exterior. You may have seen me wearing it (see below). It's got vents, it feels really really light weight. But it's still hot. The Baseball caps I have in my store feel cooler, especially the camo one I like: Camo Athletic Mesh Cap

Can anyone direct me to a really "cool" boonie hat. Please provide brand and model info, or a link. And yes, when I do get them online they will be called the "HuntinSlabs Boonie Hat".

Here's 1, should give ya plenty of shade & room for the crappie.com logohttp://www.crappie.com/crappie/image...hysterical.gif
You can buy them at guberexpress.com, hurry while supplies last, order by 12/20 so you get in time for xmas.

My goober crown is a columbia and it has mesh all the way around the top....stays very cool....I use it mostly in the summer or sunny days. Not sure if that's what the fellars are talking about or not...really don't see anywhere to put the logo on one like mine........:Rofl

I bet those cool sunshades would look cooler with little c.c decals on the lenses.

I have tried a pile of different ones including that style Speckanator is posing. The coolest to me is the cotton military surplus.

I bought 3 different colors from Natchez Shooters Supply...Don't know what they have now

WELCOME HOME:santa:fish

I'm so stupid, for some reason I did not see the link in HS first post! doh

So, I got a few of those on order. Billbob will have to come down here to Florida to field test them for me. Nothing gets into the Crappie.com store until it's field tested by Billbob. Billbob, let me know when I need to pick you up at the airport. I'm sure it'll be some time shortly after it gets good and cold up there in the North woods where he lives.

Excellent Slab. I'm sure it won't be hard to talk Billbob, into a field testing trip!

7 and1/4 or Medium for me Slab :biggrin

here is nice and cool one !!!

Hey guber, like I said, you have to come down here and field test one to make sure they are right. Your wifey showed me one you were wearing that was 40 years old! Sure looked like a guber. If the shoe fits...

Hey......be nice Ed......you know Billbob is sensitive :D

I like the one strmwalker posted. I'm guessing the logo would have to be on an embroidered patch sewn to the front. I think you need some round 3" logo patches anyway. Couple of colors to deal with contrast so it shows up good on whatever you sew them onto. I mean, while we're throwing around ideas and all.

Yeah, we will see. With everyone wanting a different style, maybe it's not gonna be that cut and dry. Maybe a patch will be in order. That way it'll be something that can be put on all sorts of apparel. Even socks and underwear! Doh

i have some of those on order that huntinslabs posted on the first post. When billbob comes down to field test them we can let him make the final decision.

That camo hat is nice, i like because if i get a bee in my beer i can use it as a strainer so i can get the bee out.:cheers2

It is hard to beat the Nam Booney hats and I have one.
I also bought a sun hat from Northern Tool that I like very well.
The hat is fully adjustable with a lanyard and has a neck flap.
I really like the neck flap that keeps the sun and bugs out.
UV protection UPF 50+ and treated with premethrin for bug control.
The hat is made by Stetson and called No Fly Zone

I have owned lots of fishing hats.
But the best by far is a beach umbrella as low as possible right above my head.
And no hat at all.
