The Platatac GBH-R is one of my favorite Recce Hats and this limited edition version has a special story.
The Platacam Anniversary Limited Edition has been created to celebrate 33 years of Platypus Outdoors. Platacam is a digital camoflague pattern developed in the early 2000s as an alternative to Auscam. It was trialled by Tactical Police Units throughout Australia, but sadly never became an offical pattern. In 2008 Australian Special Forces used Platacam in ops as part of it’s trial process, but lost out to MultiCam.
This is an extremely limited run using fabric from the 2008 SF order. Once these are sold these will not be made again.

Nice hat. Too bad shipping is $50.
Well, it’s A$ and it gets to you pretty quick. Maybe you should move to Australia and then you could complain about shipping charges from the US.
I’m in Hawaii, I already get reamed with shipping.
USPS reams everybody on international shipping. Seriously.
Then do not use USPS? There are others offering basically the same service.
Quoted $81.00 USD for USPS from San Fran to Melbourne on Monday for a small package.
It’d be about $20
He wanted it overnight evidently.
