Washable helmet padding, in the same way socks are basically washable boot padding. That's why C&S changed the way the crown of the hat finishes off, so that it lies more smoothly under a helmet.
PS - That's also why they're sticklers about washable wool. Wool won't flame up or melt to the skin if if the wearer is caught in an explosion.
I kinda doubt they wear hats when not in full battle gear. Cause, yeah, desert heat.
