I purchased the helmets for my girlfriend (she has a normal sized head) and myself for a safari themed party we are throwing. We've ended up wearing them to outdoor events, such as a recent performance of Julius Caesar, because they are so good at keeping the sun off of our faces and keeping us cool. We wear them on a regular basis and get complements wherever we go. Functional and fashionable. Form and function working hand in hand. I don't think we could be possibly be happier with our pith helmets unless they were able to jump off our heads and make us gin martinis on command.
