Voortrekker Sunhat
There is, strangely enough, no documentary record of the trekkers of Natal having been incommoded by the heat and humidity of that part of South Africa. The Boer straw hat and the traditional woman's kappie were designed to shade the head from the heat of the sun and in this, they were reasonably effective.
