Product details

French pith helmet

This is the most functional of the helmets, with its wide brim providing more sun protection than the more narrow-brimmed variations. It also sustains well heavy rain. Like other civilian pith helmets it can be soaked in water to keep the wearer's head cool in hot weather.
 
Other features in common with other patterns are the adjustable chinstrap at the front of the helmet and the inner adjustable size sweatband via the Velcro lock. These pith helmets are perfect items for used at camping, gardening, outdoor activity and on a safari.
