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 or pith helmet 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 tissue from the stems of vascular plants, which became its namesake.
- "Sola Topi" directly translates to "Shrub hat".
