As odd as it seems, these are great for desert use.  Youd think another thing on your head would be a bother but it isnt, keeps the sun off you and sand out of you.  I got these two as I ruined my last one last week.  Also they are large enough to be  used for other things like a knap sack or a tie on or a make shift tourniquet in a bind.  Color is good for desert use and either marine digi or multicam, blends pretty well.
