Please Note: Due to the handmade nature of Pith Helmets, be advised there might be minor imperfections in the construction of the hat. These imperfections do not hinder the look or wear of the helmet. 

 

The African Safari Pith Helmet is made from the core (pith) of trees that grow in northern Vietnam. They are handmade one piece at a time. This helmet, like all other pith helmets we carry, is incredible lightweight as the 4-ply wood interior has a low density (similar to balsa wood). Featuring a dark khaki cotton twill with a stylish cream pleated hat band, the African Safari Pith Helmet is ready for adventure!

Please Note: Pith helmets can be immersed in water, whereby the wearer stays cool during use on hot summer days. Please submerge the outside of the helmet carefully, without allowing water to spill into the interior of the helmet.

MAJOR not minor imperfections

Pains me to say the crown and brim are not aligned, so the hat looks crooked when you wear the brim straight. The helmet band is frayed and fraying all throughout the length of it so green threads are everywhere and looks like it's falling apart. Finally, there are globules of glue everywhere. These are NOT minor imperfections for a $50 hat.

New pith helmet

I recently purchased a pith helmet to wear when I golf. It’s winter time here and there’s no golf. I do really like the appearance and fit of my new helmet. It should give me the necessary protection from the sun on my face and ears. I really look for to wearing it. I will definitely wear it outside the golf course because I really like it.

Great helmet

This is my second order. I bought 2 helmets back in 2014. Many safaris in Africa and SE Asia and now I ordered 2 more. Paddling the Zambezi River at Victoria Falls and I soaked the helmet, the purpose of the wood. It works like sweating, when the water evaporates it gets cool. So perfect in the heat and I have used the helmets many times, on all my safaris. My last helmets blew away during Leopard safari on Sri Lanka and I need 2 new.
