I have found the new A-TACS pattern to work very well in a number of environments and use this pattern almost exclusively now.  The Bonnie hat is one of my favorites as it works well to keep the sun and water off, breaks up your outline better than most other head coverings and offers more additional Camo options. That said there are time when a ball cap is better.  I know there has always been the great debate about whether Propper or Tru-Spec is better for these types of items.  I have not been able to solve that debate myself, however until Tru-Spec offered A-TACS, it's really a moot point. The Propper products including this one size well, wear well, and fade no faster than any other similar type product I have experience with. So I find this Bonnie hat fits well into all those categories. The size was as advertised for me, the construction is great and the colors have not faded noticeably. Therefore I highly recommend this new twist on an old favorite.
