Looking for a hat for bowhunting out of a blind, dri fit would be nice because of the heat . I WILL not buy NIKE.
Thanks Jack

Lol, then you are out of luck, because Dri Fit is a NiKe product. You may not buy it, but I’m sure the appreciate you marketing it for them by name!
But I get what you are saying. Lots of choices. Pick one whose politics you agree with I guess. I have an Underarmor that is fine and a Hoyt mesh back that I wear sometimes.
Just go to Dicks and shop around. Yeah, that was a joke too...

You can find black boonie style hat and black caps at military surplus stores at very reasonable cost.

They have a boonie-style hat and a ball cap. I've never hunted in an antelope blind, so I'm not sure if these would fill the bill or not. Good Hunting.

I’ve hunted them out of ground blinds, never wore a hat, and won’t the next time.

I just took a black magic marker to my “free” Mathews hat.

My ol camo boonie hat worked just fine.

I do not wear a hat in the blind, as most often, too hot. I might slip on a face mask when they get close. Try to position the blind with the sun at the back leaving a dark hole in the blind and then move slowly. I also reduce the shooting hole in front by closing off most of the front with netting, except that area looking forward.

How about you find just a dark truckers cap?? That's about as cool of a cap as you'll find...

I got a super lightweight black balaclava for hunting out of a blind in turkey season. Very breathable and wicks moisture. THink it was UnderArmor…………………
Ain't NO WAY I'm gonna use anything that resembles a "DO-RAG!" ;-)

I was in the Academy Sports and Dick’s this morning. Saw many black caps. There is no shortage of what you are looking for.

I just wear my normal camo hat or no hat and never had an issue with being spotted.

X2 on a black bandana. You can leave the top open for when it is really hot.
