What is a pith helmet?
A pith helmet is a rounded helmet that was originally worn by European tropical travelers in Africa and Asia. For carnival and theme parties, the pith helmet is the most recognizable accessory for a classic safari suit or explorer costume. The helmet is available in three materials: rattan gives the most authentic look, straw is lightweight, and plastic is the most durable.

Safari helmet: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a rattan pith helmet and a plastic one?
A rattan pith helmet has an authentic, natural look and is heavier. A plastic pith helmet is lighter, cheaper, and more resistant to damage—ideal for carnival use. Both versions are available in classic beige and khaki shades.
Is a pith helmet suitable for children?
Most pith helmets in our range are one size and adjustable, making them suitable for children too. Check the product description for exact measurements, especially for the adjustable plastic versions.
Which safari suit matches a pith helmet?
A beige or khaki safari suit pairs best with a pith helmet in the same color shade. The beige plastic pith helmet matches the sand-colored safari suits perfectly. A rattan pith helmet has a slightly warmer brown tone and works well with darker khaki shades.
