I am British and use a pith helmet when abroad, it`s a great design, it is strong, weighs very little and protects everything it needs to and also employs the evaporation cooling system. Classic..
That's not actually a pith helmet. It's a replica/modern version of the US military's Pressed Fiber Sun Helmet. It was a light, non armored helmet used by US troops when in hot climates, usually abroad.
@@pinecone9619 No, it's really not a "Pith Hat". It's a pressed cork helmet. They don't make Pith Helmets anymore. Although sometimes you will hear a cork helmet called or sold as a "Pith Hat", that's not what it is.
She wore it to protect her head and face from the sun, it is what it was designed for. Hence why it is still used in hot climates throughout the world including by American forces.

it's just a helmet... for fuck's sake
It's a "pressed fiber helmet", American made, still used by the Marine Corps, learn history if you're going to post videos
She’s. Awesome!
Does anyone know how to buy a British pith helmet I’ve been begging to have one by the way i live in Great Britain if you want to contact me
Village Hats
Amazon has a great variety of pith helmets
@@russianarmy8976 They also have a lot of really crappy ones, so be careful!
@@googleuser3163 i only had good experience so far but Thanks for the advice
Village Hats seems to be the best place to buy them, I just got one myself! :3
That's not a pith helmet. It's a presses fiber sun helmet. It's an American design still worn by the Marines and the Post Office.

Watch how you use that term "abroad", haha. I thought she was really rocking that sun helmet!
@@googleuser3163I think many of the modern versions are now made of molded plastic. Too bad.
that helmet is badass, would prob protect against spear throwing natives
or someone pithing on her
Its supposed to protect from the sun
No, it wouldn't. It's made of soft cork.
Best headwear for hot climates 🤔😎🇺🇸🇵🇭
Melania, this is the point, what you wear also informs on what you do or want to do.

Yes she wants to be cool and she doesn't want to get a sunburn
Her sun helmet was way better looking than her fedora.
