Specification
French Pith Helmet
This French style pith helmet is the original design from Vietnam.
A hundred years ago, the French discovered the advantages of the material used to make these hats.
The pith is from trees in northern Vietnam and has properties that make it both a good sun and rain shield.
These helmets are made in Vietnam using the techniques inherited by the former French occupiers.
The pith helmets can be immersed in water, whereby the wearer stays cool during use on hot summer days. Please submerge the outside of the helmet carefully, without allowing water to spill into the interior of the helmet.
