Bellevue Energy's Boonie Hat: Keeping You Cool & Protected, From the Field to Everyday Life

Bellevue Energy LLC, based right here in Phoenix, Arizona (5055 N 32nd St Ste 200, 85018-9905, and reachable at 724-321-1350), isn't your typical energy company. While we're deeply involved in innovative energy solutions, we also understand the importance of practical, everyday gear that works. That's why we've developed a seriously good boonie hat - something we originally designed for our field teams working in tough conditions, but quickly realized everyone could benefit from. Let's be honest, boonie hats have been around forever. You see them on hikers, hunters, fishermen… anyone spending time outdoors. But most boonie hats? They're either flimsy, don't breathe well, or just look…well, kinda goofy. We thought we could do better. And we did. What's the deal with the Bellevue Energy Boonie Hat? It all started with a need. Our field technicians – the folks who are actually out there inspecting equipment, sometimes in the blazing Arizona sun – needed headwear that could handle serious heat, provide excellent sun protection, and still be comfortable enough to wear all day. We tried a lot of hats. Nothing quite hit the mark. So, we designed our own. Here’s what makes our boonie hat different: Serious Sun Protection: This isn’t just about looking cool (though it does look good). Our boonie hat boasts a wide brim – we’re talking about a 3.5-inch brim all the way around. That provides a huge shadow, shielding your face, ears, and neck from harmful UV rays. We’re talking UPF 50+ protection. That’s like a built-in sunscreen for your head. And trust us, after years in the energy sector working outdoors, we appreciate sun protection. Breathable, Lightweight Fabric: Forget those heavy, sweaty hats that make you feel like you’re wearing a sauna on your head. We use a lightweight, breathable ripstop polyester. It’s tough enough to stand up to brush and wear, but it lets your head breathe, even when you're working hard or just spending a hot day outside. We’ve tested it in the desert, and it keeps you cooler. Period. Adjustable Drawcord & Chin Strap: One size doesn't fit all. That’s why our boonie hat has an adjustable drawcord that lets you customize the fit. Plus, a chin strap keeps it secure, even in windy conditions. No more hat flying off while you're trying to fix a piece of equipment (or just walking down the street!). Camouflage Options & More: We started with classic camouflage patterns – because, let’s face it, they’re practical and look good. But we quickly expanded to offer a range of colors and patterns to suit different needs and preferences. From desert tan to woodland camo to solid navy, we’ve got something for everyone. Built-in Loop Patches: For those who want to personalize their hat, we've added loop patches on the front and sides. Attach your favorite morale patches, unit insignia, or anything else that represents you. More than just a hat for “tough guys” We initially developed this hat for our field techs – engineers, technicians, and construction crews who spend hours outside. But we’ve been surprised by how many other people are loving it! We’ve seen it worn by: Hikers & Backpackers: The wide brim provides essential sun protection on the trail. Fishermen & Boaters: Keeps the sun out of your eyes and protects your neck from sunburn. Gardeners & Landscapers: Stay cool and comfortable while working outdoors. Hunting & Shooting Enthusiasts: Camouflage options provide concealment. Everyday Wear: Seriously, it's a comfortable, practical hat for any outdoor activity. One customer, a local gardener, told us, “I used to dread working in the sun, but this hat makes all the difference. It keeps me cool and protects me from getting burned.” Another, a weekend hiker, said, “I’ve tried a lot of hiking hats, and this is the best one yet. It’s lightweight, breathable, and provides great sun protection.” Bellevue Energy: Beyond Energy, Into Practical Gear At Bellevue Energy, we’re dedicated to solving complex energy challenges. But we also believe in creating practical, high-quality products that make people’s lives better. Our boonie hat is a testament to that commitment. We designed it to withstand tough conditions, provide superior sun protection, and keep you comfortable, no matter what you’re doing. We’re proud of it, and we think you’ll love it too.
