The tactical panama is designed for hot weather. It protects the soldier well from the sun's rays and overheating, and allows him to stay outdoors for a longer time. Panama dries quickly and does not lose its shape, even if it needs to be folded and hidden. Wide fields do not allow the skin on the face and neck to burn. There are additional holes for air ventilation. To prevent the panama from flying off, a clip-on string is provided under the chin.
