The Shooter's Sola Topi is a community-created cosmetic item for the Sniper. It is a rounded beige pith helmet with a white sash, as well as a thin brown belt tied around the brim of the hat.
The item's description was written by G.I.R. for the Hat Describing Contest.
The Shooter's Sola Topi was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

Trivia
- 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, which became its namesake.
- Topi means "hat" in Hindi, Urdu, Malay and Indonesian. The name directly translates to "Shrub hat", with the pith of a shrub being the material with which the hat was constructed.
