Corn Alps Booney Hat | Shade for the Retrieve
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Corn Alps Booney Hat is made for exactly that. Whether you’re laying out a wing before launch, hiking back after an ambitious glide, or standing in a freshly harvested field waiting for your ride home, it delivers the kind of sun protection that earns its place in your flying kit.
Finished with the embroidered Corn Alps patch, it’s a nod to the uniquely optimistic world of Midwest XC—where every cloud deserves investigation, every field is a potential LZ, and the retrieve is just another part of the adventure.
Because the only thing hotter than a Minnesota cornfield is the thermal above it.

Let customers speak for us
from 9 reviewsClever gift. Much appreciated and doing double duty. I keep it in the truck and whip it out at the LZ to the delight of everyone.
“Warm site? Cool site? Doesn’t matter — this Gaggle tee has become my go-to. Lightweight, fits great, and every pilot who sees it cracks a grin. Wore it at launch all week and got more comments on the shirt than on my takeoffs. Highly recommend.”
So True It Hurts (and Makes Me Laugh)
As every pilot knows, kiting is 50% skill, 50% swearing at your wing — and this design absolutely nails it. My non-flying friends don’t get it, but every pilot I know has already asked where to get one. It’s basically therapy in T-shirt form.
Hands down the best place to find gifts for paragliding friends. Smart designs, great quality, and you can tell it’s all made by people who actually fly.
Proud addition to my Ozone flight deck! A wink & nod to anyone who knows what “active flying” really means.
Both products arrived within a week. I thought the shipping cost was very fair.
Arrived today and the print quality is great. The T-shirt is softer than I expected and a comfortably slim fit in a medium. Especially appreciate that there’s no itchy tag. Going to be a great holiday gift.
