Out of Africa style (5/5) | Jan 4, 2009 | Cynthia Albert | Dallas TX US |
| Love it! On my walks it can get wild with the nearby lake, spillway, and ponds next to my home. There is quite a bit of forestry and wildlife, not to mention a good bit of wind more often than not. This helmet serves a practical purpose while it keeps you looking up (without the sun in your eyes!) Thank You for this beautiful hat...I'm waiting for the ivory with a light taupe band to become available.... | ||||

Makes me want to go to the tropics (4/5) | Nov 19, 2007 | Dav Yaginuma | San Francisco CA |
| I bought this hat for use in a safari costume, but I really enjoy it. It's so light and comfortable, yet feels like it gives great protection. I'm planning on bringing it to Burning Man next year, and definitely on any trips to the tropics. | ||||

Decent hat (4/5) | Aug 30, 2009 | Eric | Everett WA US |
| The hat is self is nice. There was a bug chew hole and some bug poop on the white cloth band, the holes in the top did not all line up (easy to fix myself) and it does not fit quite right. Other than that the hat is self is good and does the trick. | ||||

Pithy (5/5) | Aug 28, 2010 | Erich B | Ramona CA US |

A pith helmet is THE type of headgear to wear in extremely hot and/or humid climates. The unique suspension keeps the helmet itself away from your head and allows air to circulate inside--only the leather sweatband makes contact. The helmet itself is very light and you'll likely forget that you're wearing it. These are a bargain and it's amazing that you can still find a classic genuine pith helmet in this age of baseball caps and polyester! Thanks Village Hat Shop! |

I say, old chap, Good Show! (5/5) | Dec 28, 2007 | Erich Einfalt | San Diego CA US |
| When I occassionally help with grounds maintenance at our local church, I always wearing this pith helmet. Taking from the usual "going on a safari?" remarks in stride, I have found that this helmet actually does a wonderful job of preventing sunburn on the sides and back of my neck as well as on my face. And after dipping it in water, the cooling effect of the evaporative properties of the cork (pith) construction leaves me in a far better state at the end of the day than those poor saps adorned with mere baseball caps. | ||||

Outstanding (5/5) | Jun 14, 2009 | James N Samms | Sacramento CA US |
| This was my first order from Village Hat Shop. This pith helmet fulfilled a many years old desire, and I must say I have absolutely no regrets. This product is well made and is so inexpensive that one just can't go wrong. Believe it! | ||||
