Trivia
- Better known as the pith helmet, the sola topi was introduced by the British colonial military in the late 19th Century. Popular amongst Westerners in tropical climates for its light weight, relative hardiness and its ability to cast shade, the hat was traditionally made from "pith": a type of Indian swamp plant.
- This hat is a reference to the Sniper's former life as a hunter of dangerous game.
- When painted the grey strip's color is changed to whichever color paint used. The rest of the hat's beige area remains the same.
- The hat description was written by G.I.R..
