“I recently bought one, I tested it out the same day. I mowed in the hot sun for 2 and a half hours. The hat kept my head cooler than any of my hats that I have ever worn. Will be getting another for my brother and myself very soon.”
“The Worsley pith helmet is a fantastic sun hat. It is deep with a broad brim and shades most of your face and back of your neck. It also offers a respectable amount of head protection. The helmet is very light and comfortable and is a durable, quality product made in Vietnam where these hats originate.
Unlike many pith helmets, these are made from a type of tree pith covered with cloth, rather than the usual polystyrene, and are hard to fault for the price.
As well as being practical hats/head protection, they have a neat colonial/retro style to them. I purchased several as gifts/for an event but was impressed enough I decided to keep one for myself.”
