But does it fit comfortably sideways Rappa Style?
And can you bend the carbon-fiber bill to customize it Redneck Style?

That's it. The human race has "jumped the shark".

Skunky,
Only you would find a ball cap with carbon fiber in it.

I notice the button on top of the cap. Does it come off for installation of the propellor?

You wantin' sumpin' Dog? It b a' cova' fo yo honky red neck bro.
To get serious...
I'll take a boonie over a ball cap if I am spending any significant time outdoors.
You really want some sun protection for the tops of your ears.
After seeing my father get a couple "pre-cancerous" areas cut off the top of his ears from sun exposure over the years, I am sold.
Just something to think about. Ball caps just don't protect those ears.

Carbon fiber is fairly expensive. I wonder what it costs.

Boonie hats for rain, for sun, for hiding, for everything else.
But wearing a hat will make you go bald.

Those of us who are already bald, or with shaved heads, have a wide collection of hats. I prefer brimmed hats to ball caps. Better shade and less chance of sunburn or skin cancers.
No it won't. Testosterone will.
If you're male, accept the fact that having two testicles may cause you to go bald.
I say "may" because my father and grandfather have worn caps daily for 50+ years each, and both have a full head of hair. I'm here as evidence that both of them have testicles, also.

I am just at a loss as to why folks find carbon fiber to be attractive. It looks like cheap lawn chair nylon weave that is coated in plastic.
People by decals of carbon fiber images in which to cover their dashboards, car rims, etc. I am surprised nobody has done it to their gun yet.

Actually, Remington makes a shotgun with carbon fiber in it now.
AR lowers have also been made of carbon fiber.

85 Euros so that your baseball cap can look like a cheap lawn chair? No thank you!
You can also find kevlar stocks, but I am not sure how they are better than the standard nylon stocks relative to the expense.

I quit wearing ball caps. I don't play professionally. Most ball caps have something embroidered on front that makes a statement - which they can pay me to wear, not vice versa. They fit too closely to cool or warm the head, lacking any space.
Boonie hats are superior in most regards -which is why they are still issue, and ball caps died with the change to BDU's in 1984.
For dress, I wear Ivy caps, which do almost as well, without making me look like a SWAT team member busting a meth house. And I get a lot more conversation from total strangers, especially women. Ivy caps are apparently more comfortable to them. Ball caps are perceived, IMHO, as being worn by another sexual threat. So, the ivy cap is more tactical in that regard.

I don't know that I would classify the regulation Army and Marine covers as ball caps, but they certainly aren't boonie hats. Boonie hats are issued for field use, and thats about it.
As someone who habitually wears a ball cap every single day, I obviously am biased, but yet I have two boonie hats because there are times they are better. My problem with boonie hats is that they are a little bit goofy looking if you wear a hat all day, every day as I do.
