any chance this hat will hold up for three weeks during an Africian safari??

I don't see why it wouldn't. it is more like a women's beach hat (more flexible weave) even though it looks straw it is not brittle. Thus, it could probably take more of a beating.

Yes it will. Does a great job keeping the sun off my face and neck. Be ready to chase if windy.

Hi nancy, I wear mine golfing 3 or 4 days a week, it is well made, and has been used for 2 seasons now.

It is high quality (not the cheap stuff). I'd advise in a hot climate to take a damp cloth each night and wipe it around the brim and let it air-dry. As long as you don't do a Bruce Willis-style safari....yeah, it'll hold out for three weeks.....and still be around in a year or two.

Sure it will. I think it is good enough for a hard work trip. In this case, I will recommend to buy a hat in a dark color.

It is really adaptable (it would probably fit you well). It's a good hat, but it won't protect you if the sun comes sideways. I also think you can find prittier hats for women.

I wear a hat when I wear mine and have NO problems...I would say you should be fine...

I wore it open air safari trucks and the brim did fold over at high speeds, but it did not obscure my vision at all. The brim is flexible but narrow. My head did not get hot at all wearing it in Africa, including walking through the brush.

My son took the helmet to Iceland, he'll come back in a month. Try to ask us in a month. I just know he is very happy with it.what he did, is trying it in a store and then ordering it in amazon. Good luck.

Probably no reliable way as some people would want it to fit tighter than others. Previous reviewers said it runs small. I have a small head and got a large and it fit comfortably It worked great in 74-75 degree water in Aruba. Huge help in staying warm. I had never used a hood before. Only used it on one trip so can't comment on durability. Good luck.

The hat is not a floppy kind, so yes the brim is relatively rigid. It's not stiff enough to stop from flipping up or down over your eyes in a strong wind. The sizing isn't adjustable, so if the hat fits snug it may stay on while boating, but the pull cord helps in that you won't at least be ordering another one too soon.

I love these hats. We certainly use them poolside and at the beach. The chinstrap makes it virtually impossible for the hat to blow off and it dries quickly. We haven't had any trouble with the hats getting dirty. That being said, I don't know that the hat would hold up well if it were going to be drenched all of the time. The brim might get pretty floppy. It is a great way to protect from the harmful rays of the sun!

Personally would not recommend this one. This one runs small, is stiff, wouldn't breathe as you pointed out. I would suggest the women's style straw hat, it can be scrunched into a ball and come out great, it is very durable and it is unisex (looks good on a man or a woman), and it is breathable. Probably a better choice in the humidity.

I take that back. It will hold pretty good on a brim of a hat! I just tried it! The clip comes off and can be reversed with out any issues.

Hi Petunia--I play golf in strong winds and I like how the straps hold the hat on my head. I have not had any problems with all my Tilley hats. The brim will not flop in the wind. Craig

The hats that I purchesed will expire in 5 years. I am not the seller, but you may want to pose that question to to the seller.

Hi, I do apologize not sure what size it will go up to. The hat is a standard fit not by size.Thank youMaribel

The helmets don't last more than 3 months anyway, so don't worry about it/waste your money. We've tried 2, and they are worthless. :(

I would think so. Try it on the underside of the brim (where it won't show) and spritz it with a spray bottle of water as a first test.

I would wear this hat to the beach, but it has a foam core brim which could loose it's shape getting soaked in water. Spot clean for stains.
