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.

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 haven't had problems with the brim of my hats.I found it's best to wash them either by them selves or with just a few other clothes. Not a full load. I then remove the top portion of the plastic cage & let them air dry using the bottom half to retain their shape.

I don't think the hat performs well in a stiff wind. The size of the brim is large (it's a sun shade hat more than anything), and that makes it catch the wind more than a normal hat. I find myself flipping the brim down when it blows up in the wind.

I've use it on one of my hats, didn'y have any problem with the brim. Be sure it is completely dry before taking it out of the frame.

Christopher, I thought that the brim would be destroyed also, but it is not destroyed. It stays just as hard as before being washed. I know that it doesn't make sense. The entire hat is clean! Give it a try.

Sorry for not being more specific. My response was from a man's point of view. You will need a wider brim for what you need.

I believe so. It's got a very rounded edge and it flared out just a bit, so that if it does touch the face it won't be to jarring.

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.

It is a little stiffer than some but not enough that I questioned it...maybe you received a faulty one.

Yup, same as mine! Mine fills just below the brim which is manageable (for me). I guess you need to call the manufacturer.

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.

The brim is about 2 1/4" and is rigid enough that it doesn't flop "up" with the lightest breeze like the other wide brim hats I've used. I use it outdoors every day and I'm often on a 4-wheeler. It'll eventually flip up a bit if I get going too fast, but hasn't blown off yet. I love it and I think it would be perfect for boating.

I do not have that problem. It is not stiff, but definitely not jiggly. You may want to return.

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.

My hat came out of the suitcase about the way I put it in. It is always wrinkled, but I never fail to get compliments on it. I roll it vertically, so that the only chance of wrinkles is on the crown.

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!
