The pith is as interesting a hat as it is practical. Not only does it keep the sun off of your face and neck, but because the helmet doesn't sit directly on the head (there are little straps that support it on your scalp) it allows for good amounts of air circulation, making it a perfect hat for the summer. Plus, it's a lovely conversation starter, and people will come to recognize you as "that pith helmet guy." Also makes a great costume piece. If you got a larger than average head, become a dark lord of the Pith today. My only complaint is the chinstrap when damaged has the top layer flake off to reveal a bright pink beneath it. Easily fixed with brown sharpie, though. My hat's been accidentally crushed twice, but the dome still holds its shape perfectly (though with a noticeable fault line down the back!). |
