The African Safari Pith Helmet that you see here is the newest pith helmet in our line. Like most of the others (Indian, French, British, Square-crowned, Camo) it is a real pith helmet. By "real" we mean that the hat is made from the core (pith) of trees that grow in northern Vietnam. They are made one piece at a time--see the images at our Pith Helmets main page. This helmet has the same properties as the others, that being light weight (the 4-ply wood interior is low-density-somewhat like balsa wood), immersible in water whereby the wearer stays cool as he/she hikes and the water evaporates, genuine leather sweatband and chin strap. The underbrim is green. Color: Khaki (as you see in the image). Sizes: One-size adjusted by means of a Velcro closure at the back side of the sweatband.
