New GORUCK Boonie Hat: Does it Float?

April 11, 2025 By Thad Forester

This is the new GORUCK Boonie Hat. They have two options, but both are made from GORUCK’s unique ToughDry material.

–Tactical (Molle webbing )

–Slick (no Molle webbing)

You can watch my short review below where I cover these topics:

  1. How it fits (since they only come in Medium and Large). My cap size is 7-1/8 and I got a Large. That’s the right size for me.
  2. Does the ToughDry material stretch? Repel Water?
  3. Does it really float? I compared its floating ability to my Tilley Hat.

It has this handy concealed pocket on the inside roof. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a seal shut, so whatever it stored here isn’t secure.

My oldest son loves Boonie hats and wore one during the Mark Forester JAG 28 Birthday Walk/Ruck last year. It came in handy b/c it rained on us for a few hours.


How do you customize your Boonie hat? I love to see what people do with them and how you use the molle.
