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.

I haven't used another hat with it, the visor works pretty well, but they supply an extra velcro like tab that sticks to the underside of your hat bill. You will need a fairly flat surface of the bill to attach it to.

Yes! I had this concern prior to purchasing this hat and much to my suprise it fit really well, it will loosen up a little after wearing for a little while.

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

Never had a white one. I think if you're outdoors in summer sun it'll be hot no matter what. I know with Western (my daughters thing) the lighter hats are a little better for heat, but not by much.

My hat arrived "flattened" in a bag, and it pops up fine when I put it on. I've not had a problem with creases in the brim, however. You may want to return it if you haven't already. The vendor should know better.

Yes... in cooler climates it is ideal. It is a heavy duty hat, therefore might not be a cool as other hats.

Yes. I keep one of my hats in my luggage just for use when I travel. Just returned from a two week trip in which I wore it nearly every day. The hat restores with a few minutes of reshaping. I wore it during bus trips and it rained nearly every day in early April and had no problem with it.

I happen to live in Hawaii, so don't know if it is the heat and humidity that helps to go back to default shape. I have a smaller brim hat that I have used for travel for several years. I have this hat hanging up right now unrolled just in the circle with velcro and it seems to have gone into the correct shape by itself. Maybe a light spray of water to soften and then shape? Sorry no real answer.

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.

Tiffany, I recently wore it while sailing on a hobie cat. It stayed secure and is adjustable. I am an adult with average size head. Don't think it would be secure on a small head/child's head.

I think this hat can be worn by either sex. I am really happy with the hat that I purchased, (Fatigue color), I really like how it looks and how it functions on the trail. It has been pretty durable so far, holds up well in the wind. Jim G.

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

Yeah it's super super stylish it just won't hold up very long. I'd say it'll last a month or 2, but she'll love it!

don't matter what size is...It will fit.....I personally don't like it because the rims are turn upward which means this hat don't keep sun out from face...." its a beautifully traveling hat"

I checked with my kids. They said they have not known it to wear out over time, so it should be fine.

With reasonable care I think it should be fine. I used the lens on a 3 week safari in Tanzania in dusty, sometimes wet conditions and had no problems. I kept it covered in a lightweight stuff sack when not in use.
