I am trying to find out where you can buy ready made Boonie Hats + face veils. I am leaning towards Realtree Camouflage. I want this to camouflage a Paintball Mask, and the veil needs to be very very fine mesh. It would best if the veil simply hung from the brim, rather than going over the whole Boonie Hat. Not looking for all the bits and pieces tied to the veil. My best guess is being able to conceal your mask is well worth the very slight obstruction of view. Well, that's my guess. First of all..it depends on your AO..the area of operation you are going to be in. If you are in open country..a boony hat and sniper veil wont do you any good if you are moving around. If you are in deep green..then some camo could be of use.  The whole idea is to break up your outline and keep your pearly white teeth, eyes and skin from shining.  Even if you were not wearing a veil or a mask..as long as you break up your outline..and stay still..you will be hard to detect. Those bits and pieces..are very important. They help not only break up your outline..but tend to make the other guy think that your movement is natural foilage movement. The human eye is tuned to regularity. Square lines and forms. A paintball mask is made up of such. And its something p_layer_s are mentally tuned for. So break up its lines.  Even burlap strips hanging down will help break up the masks outline. On the other hand..a hat itself has regular lines..few of which are found in nature. You would be far better off sewing a bunch of burlap strips to a watch cap and trying to get a overgrown stump look, assuming  you are in country that has such. You want to break up not only the outlines of your mask..but of your head, neck and shoulders as well..all things the human backbrain recognizes easily. http://www.tacticalconcealment.com/cat_spyder.cfm https://www.bushrag.com/store/catalog/default.php?cPath=35&PHPSESSID=... https://www.bushrag.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=35&produ... https://www.bushrag.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=29 Just some examples. And never forget..that to be seen moving..is to die. Paintball is a game that has only a remote resemblence to real combat..very remote. gunner   Deep in her heart, every moslem woman yearns to show us her tits                                          John Griffin
