The Platatac GBH-R is a short-brimmed variant of the ever-popular GBH. The GBH-R is extremely comfortable, lightweight and features a medium-height crown and shorter brim to stay out of your line of sight. 

The GBH-R is available in four sizes with elastic shock cord and an ITW barrel-lock at the rear can adjust tightness for the best fit. The paracord neck strap will keep it secure whilst worn or hung around the wearer's neck. 

We have also added an internal orange hi-vis panel which can be used as a marker panel for identifying friendly forces during marry ups and RVs or as a signalling device in emergency situations, it also doubles as a pocket for storing small flat items.

It is packed full of features which makes it one of the most functional bush hats on the market.

Colours

Tigerstripe

Tigerstripe came to prominence during the Vietnam War but was never an official US issue item, personnel permitted to wear it at first had their uniforms custom-made by local Vietnamese tailors as the ARVN uniforms were too small for most Americans; for this reason there were many variations of the basic Tigerstripe pattern. 

Soon, many American special operations forces in the Vietnamese theatre of operations wore the pattern, despite not always being attached to ARVN units: it became the visible trademark of Marine Corps Recon, Green Berets, LRRPs, SEALs, and other elite forces.

A-TACS iX

A-TACS iX (Intermediate Xtreme) Camo was the first in a new generation of concealment from A-TACS Camo. A-TACS iX is the flagship pattern a new “X series” line of camouflage patterns – the central component of a complete multi-environmental concealment solution. A-TACS iX utilizes the very latest in printing and camouflage design technology combined with the perfect blend of colors from the already popular A-TACS AU and FG camouflage patterns to create a pattern with vastly improved depth and definition.

A-TACS iX Camo also incorporates enhanced edge detail in the transitional areas between light and shadow within the pattern to create the added illusion of depth while maintaining the unique A-TACS Camo “pattern within a pattern” concept. New A-TACS iX Camo is best suited for transitional environments with a blended mix of intermediate greens and desert tans. Look for it from many of the A-TACS Camo CORE Elite Brand Partners.
