Does the brim blow upwards in the wind or does it hold its shape?

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!

The brim does blow upwards in a strong wind. But it usually return to its shape. This hat continues to amaze me and proved its effectiveness during our NY heat wave!

I have not worn it in the wind so I do not know. It is a really nice hat. The brim could blow up in the wind as it is not super stiff, but I imagine it would go down again.

Yes-- the brim is wide and provides good shade both in front and on the sides. The back flap is soft and hangs down far enough to protect my neck, which is not swan-like but is not especially short either. I am very happy with it for hiking.

I do not have high winds in my area however it is a mesh type fabric and the air passes through readily. It does not move much here.

It is very sturdy--gets very heavy when full but I have noticed no distortion of the plastic. Indeed, we've had quite a lot of rain lately and all three of mine are filled to the brim with no ill effects.

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

No, with the wide brim it catches the wind like a wing. That has really limited the days I can wear it here in the windy desert.

4 inches, the brim does NOT droop. It is a nice fit, great hat. (and roll it into a ball, then sit on it, and unroll it and it is perfect! Very durable.)

I luv it. Very sturdy.we get severe winds and it doesn't phase it. I also like how it has a extra piece to make the holder tsller if you want.

I can't imagine it could withstand wind, if it is above the windshield. I'm short and I like the way it makes the visor go further down the windshield and block the sun. The small piece can be moved back and forth for extra darkening. I like mine. Hope this answers your Q.

You want to make sure that it is tight. It will wave in the wind but the tighter it is the better it can handle it. Mine has gone through numerous storms and done well in all of them.

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!

I have two other sun hats - one with a stiffer brim than the Slogger and one with a floppier brim. Would describe the Slogger as moderately stiff and not really floppy. I haven't washed my Slogger yet, but given fabric, stitching, and other construction features, I anticipate it will hold it's shape with washing.

Yes, it does wind up and down. The action of doing so is a little loud, but it works well.

It copes with a reasonable amount of wind IF you set it up properly. The front needs to be as curved as possible to provide rigidity.

Ironically, we have had very high winds with storms over the past two days. No problems with the cover what so ever.Works like a charm.

No, the flap is not spring-loaded or weighted...and it will "flap" when the wind blows.
