    Custom Boonie Hats with Electronic Ear Pro Compatibility

    Here are some charts to help make sure we get the right hat size and head size.

    I prefer to get head size in inches.

    For head type, the main thing I'm looking at is low dome vs high dome.

    Would you say I have a high or low dome?

    When David met Goliath everyone else said, "He's too big to defeat". David said, "He's too big to miss!"

      I'm a high dome, flat back, with neanderthal orbits.

      One of you who ordered recently didn't respond to my email about sizing.

        This video gives you an idea of what the boonie hat looks like when used in conjunction with electronic hearing muffs.

              Finally, after years, just got around to doing this. I should have put this info in my Paypal payment; I'm a 7 1/4, high dome.

                  I got you, no problem.

                  I like to contact each customer to make sure we're getting everything exactly how they like it and that we're on the same sheet with sizing.

                    We appreciate your business and hope you have many memorable outdoor adventures with it!

                    I wear mine most of the time I'm doing outdoor activities, including yard work, hiking, and of course shooting.

                      PF52......I fished in it all day yesterday.

                      It makes quite a fashion statement.

                            Is there a vid that shows how these hats off? I'm curious to see it being set up with ear muffs. And is the netting removable?

                              Not sure I'm following your first sentence. I think there might be a word missing.

                              You basically put the hat on with the brim unsnapped from the brimlettes. Don your ear pro, and snap the brim around the ear pro headband.

                              It feels much nicer placing the ear muff cups over the mesh, especially in the summer.

                              I've made some with detachable veils custom, but even with that ability, I prefer the standard hats with mesh myself.

                              It can be a bit bulkier around the headband to accommodate the additional attachments points.

                              Most people have been preferring shorter veils so that's what we do now, unless specified.

                              On my personal hats, I find the longer veil unnecessary.

                              I'm pretty flexible in what I can do to meet customer needs though.
