One of the comments suggest that the brim tends to be rather floppy. Would you agree with this assertion?

I would describe the brim as 'flexible' rather than 'floppy'. One can shape the brim to some extent... i.e., tilted down in front and tilted up in back.The brim will not flop down around your ears.

no, I don't find it floppy. I hike and ride my comfort bike in the wind with this hat. I have a small head (size 7), so perhaps its a smaller profile. Make sure you get the right size..... "One size fits all" hats are usually floppy.

I don't find the brim to be floppy. The hat is packable, and isn't stiff, but it's not floppy. It's just right....

I found the hat to be great! Neither my husband nor I, thought the brim was at all floppy and we continue to happily wear our Tilley hat.

I would say semi-rigid, if that helps. Certainly not as rigid as a baseball hat, but not a floppy "bucket hat" either. Suitable for boating, unless you're on something like Miss Budweiser doing over 75 mph!

No. They have a different angle which is more flat and less vertical. They do have a similar headband shape.

Not really. Perhaps I just stuffed it in instead of fold it nicely. Try it out by folding it nicely? Other than this, its a good functional looking hat! I recomend it.

no the brim does not snap to the top i think amazon has others that do but they are more money

The brim doesn't crease to my knowledge. It is flexible. Would pack just fine.

It's got a pretty flimsy foam (or something) making up the brim, definitely not 100% cotton. It's very light and floppy... and really really shrink up and deform if you put through a dryer.

I have never worn them with a hat; however they are quite comfortable and don't protrude out too much. My guess would be if it was a loose wool type hat, shouldn't be an issue.

It is flexible but retains its shape. The brim is not all that wide. I saw several at Academy for sports& Outdoors at a good price and you can actually see them. If one is near you, have a look before you order....some have a net at the top so it is nice and cool and some just have eyelets which is not as cool.

They do adjust outwards for larger heads, but even at their smallest I find them to be slightly too big. (I have a small head, too.)

The shade sails shed a lot of the rain but some drips through. So the answers would be, "to a good extent" and "some". Cheers

Things are slightly fuzzy when viewed through the film. It's minor and I don't imagine it would look different enough that it would be noticeable to others, especially at transom height. (I always figure that if people notice these minor things, I should be a better conversationalist. :-))

Christina is correct, it is floppy. Cookie sheet underneath is recommended.

yes. I agree, their product description leaves something to be desired.The head has the whole shebang. I think the 'letter' difference refers to the color.

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!

The hat is made out of pliable material that bends, which is part of what makes it so comfortable. I found that on windy days if I use the chin strap it does a decent job holding its shape, and it is far cooler than the stiff straw wide brimmed hats I have used in the past. I agree that it would probably blow up regardless in strong winds. Hope this helps!

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
