Tech 1 Boonie Hat - AMDU

Australian Multicam Desert Uniform or AMDU was developed by Blanchewater Gear in 2024 as modern take on the famed Disruptive Pattern Desert Uniform (DPDU) uniform used by the Australian Defence Force during the GWOT. 

We used the same colour palette as the iconic DPDU and an extra colour developed by us to blend perfectly with its counterparts. 

After multiple revisions and testing the Tech 1 Boonie Hat has been designed to offer the best all round performance in tactical headwear.

Made from a nylon and cotton 50/50 blend ripstop material ensures the best comfort for long patrols and durability throughout continued use.

We have incorporated Cordura(R) positive locking cord in the hats adjustable chin cord for its strength and locking characteristics especially useful during water operations and extreme weather.

The cord adjuster has been specifically selected due to it's light weight, butile rubber like feel, easy adjustment and low impedance when stowed.

Bilaterateral metal vents ensure breathability during hot weather.

The Tech 1 Boonie brim offers a large radius providing ample sun protection with a medium stiffness it maintains protection in all weather conditions.

A classic boonie shape is complemented by a narrower front crown allowing comfortable wearing on multiple head shapes.

Dual wall construction has been meticulously thought out providing a more durable product for continued use.

Available in Navy Blue, Black, Ranger Green, DPCU and Australian Multicam Compatible (AMC) camouflage with variations in colour the Tech 1 Boonie in AMC can be well integrated with the current issued uniform.

More colours and patterns available soon.
