Very nice classic pith helmet, seems sturdy but very lightweight. I'm on medication that has a side effect of making me very sun sensitive, this is a nice alternative to your run of the mill straw hats. Hey, if it worked for generations of fair skinned British explorers...

The sweatband on the forehead is comfortable, and the straps adjust to fit. I have a large head and a lot of hair, so it's great to find something adjustable! As with any straw hat I don't expect it to last forever, but with proper care I do expect to get lots of use from it.

Huge kudos to the seller Pest Mall, really great service. Good communication, fast shipping, well packaged.
