Trivia
- Better known as the pith helmet, the sola topi was introduced by the British colonial military in the late 19th Century. It is popular amongst Westerners in tropical climates for its light weight, relative hardiness and its ability to cast shade and keep bugs out of one's hair. The hat was traditionally made from "pith", a type of Indian swamp plant.
- This hat makes reference to the Sniper's life as a hunter of dangerous game.
- This item is one of two contributed items made by Amuoro, the other being the Old Guadalajara.
