Pith Helmets

[mgilmer]

We are leaving for WDW in 7 days (yea!) and I have not been able to find any appropriate headgear. Has anybody seen any Pith Helmets or Foreign Legion Hats near the World? I am looking for something to keep the sun off my neck and want to stay away from the traditional cowboy type hat if at all possible.

i didnt know what a pith helmet was but i looked it up. im pretty sure i have seen very similar hats in animal kingdom, though they are probably cost more there than outside the world.

They're much lighter and not only keep the sun off you they are also waterproof!

DH always wears his (he is a former Marine and discovered Boonie hats there)I bought one similar to this in Disney World, however I personally prefer a baseball cap. The boonie type hat was too hot and heavy for me.

Have Fun!!
