Classic White Pith Helmet

Pith helmets are associated with British colonial and foreign service history. The pith helmet (also known as the safari helmet, sun helmet, or topi) is a lightweight cloth-covered helmet made of cork or pith, typically pith. Designed to shade the wearer's head and face from the sun, pith helmets were often worn by European travelers and explorers, in the varying climates found in Africa, southeast Asia, as well as the tropics, but have also been used in many other contexts. Our Classic Pith Helmets are made from trees grown in the northern part of Vietnam. The material can sustain heavy sunlight as well as rain. This adjustable helmet features a genuine leather sweatband and fits up to size 7-3/8" comfortably.
