OK, so I was browsing my new copy of the MTT, and I came across this magic item:
ARMOR OF THE SANDS
Spoiler:
PRICE 14,160 GP
SLOT armor CL 7th WEIGHT 15 lbs.
AURA moderate transmutation
This +2 leather armor is made of camel hide and has been worn smooth as if blasted by sand. The wearer is protected from mundane extremes of cold and heat (as the endure elements spell), and can see normally in sandstorms, dust storms, and similar conditions. Once per day as a swift or immediate action, the wearer can briefly turn to sand when hit by an attack but before damage is determined. For the purposes of resolving the damage, the wearer is treated as an incorporeal creature. Only a single attack is affected by each use of this ability.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 7,160 GP
Craft Magic Arms and Armor, stoneskin

And my question was this: can this be used to survive a fall from any height?
(follow up question: what are "similar conditions"? ie. fog spells (obscuring mist), etc...)

Probably not, as Falling damage is an Environmental Hazard, not being "hit by an Attack".
As for similar conditions, I'd say any natural environmental effect that hinders sight because of eye irritation, though it is certainly open to interpretation.
