Review: I was surprised. Many years ago I had a real pith helmet with the full suspension harness. I doubted that the simple band of this helmet would suffice to maintain an adequate amount of air all around the head. But it does work just fine. Because air can flow freely around the head, this hat is cooler than sun hats that have a close-fitting band. If anything, I would rate this helmet above the authentic pith helmet because this plastic is much lighter than is pith and therefore more comfortable. Despite that light weight, it is sturdy. My helmet has taken several hard impacts without damage. Prior to buying this, my standard sun protection was a wide-brimmed nylon hat. That hat had a tendency to catch wind when I would be driving my tractor and would blow off unless I had its chin strap snugged. This helmet seems to have a different aerodynamic design and has never blown off despite the lack of chin strap. While it does have an elastic band that probably could be used under the chin if necessary, that seems to be primarily a cosmetic feature to imitate the functional chin strap of authentic pith helmets. I first bought one of these for my wife. She was so pleased with it that I bought a second one for my own use. She has a small head, I have a large (7-3/8) head. The headband has a wide range of adjustments and it is very comfortable for both of us. The terry cloth sweatband will probably need to be replaced at regular intervals. I have read the critical reviews of this helmet and can only think that the item description and construction of the helmet being sold in March and May 2018 are not the same as they were previously. We are farmers in Hawaii so it is important for us to have a good hat for protection from the sun of the tropics. We have gone through many hats over the years, and this is proving to be the best we have found. In addition to great sun protection, being plastic and having the broad brim it also is a good rain hat. When this hat deteriorates, as it surely will, I will buy another.
Review: The pith hat is of really good quality. The hat itself is lighter than it appears and can be adjusted to fit your head size.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this helmet excellent or just ok quality. Will be in the desert in a few months.**
A: It's a standard pith helmet, made of lightweight plastic. It is very durable, and it is cool even in the hot sun when I'm working in my yard. But it's hard to call something this toy-like "excellent." I would say that it is probably adequate for your needs.

**Q: Does this hat come in green? It says it does in the color option but the photos show only white and khaki.**
A: Yes, this is also available in olive drab green.

**Q: Looking for a cork pith helmet, can't seem to find one, can you provide a link to one?**
A: Rothco does not make a cork pith helmet.

**Q: Is it hdpe foam, or solid?**
A: Solid, and quite durable. I bought the helmet for some head protection when bumping into branches and for UV protection. It is not rated for safety protection, but it does provide some protection from the occasional head bump.
