The cowboy hat is a piece of headwear in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics

All variants have a Damage Threshold of 1, and provide a bonus of 1 to Perception, as they shield the wearer's eyes from the sun. They can be repaired with pre-War hats, other copies of themselves, as well as any other head item with the Jury Rigging perk.
