does the brim crease? always pack in bag. will wonder if it'll look bad or does it just bounce back and look seamless?

Mine does crease, but I was able to shape it. I don't have it with me right now it's packed in a box but I am pretty sure I fixed this by folding it front to back, not side to side. The front bill is the only formed part. but even so the crease I had was not awful. I would highly recommend this hat!

i roll the brim (looks like an ice cream cone) when i throw it into a bag. if it goes into a suitcase, i throw it in flat. the brim gets sort of wrinkly looking after a while but it's sort of the way linen or cotton pant get - just part of the the texture, not really distinct creases. we've worn it a coupe of years and machine washed it a few times, even.

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

mine was shipped rolled up in a really nice, sturdy, cardboard cylinder. When I pulled it out it looked perfect, no creases or folds. :)

The short answer is yes. I've seen people fold it up into a sandwich sized ziplock bag, but I prefer to roll up since it takes a short time for it to return to its normal shape. There is a thin, probably plastic, wire running through the brim that can temporarily cause the hat to be misshapen if you scrunch it too tightly, but it's not a huge drawback.

It is supposed to have a crinkle effect to the fabric. I threw mine in the dryer on low for 15 minutes with a damp wash cloth to remove the creases from the packaging.

Brim sizes as noted below, and yes, it will crush into a backpack with ease! I bought the bug repellant version and have noted absolute no odor on the hat, nor was I bothered with bugs on my recent trip to the Mayan Riviera, so the repellant seems to work as well. A great hat no doubt.

I have not used it much...it is for guests. I have it over a down comforter and keep it in a large plastic bag. It doesn't even wrinkle. For the money, it is quite nice.

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.

Not at all. I even folded and leave it open, and then I put it in my bag. It has never has come out.

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.

Yea u can roll it up. In fact it comes rolled up. But any creases would be permanent.

Yes, they do tend to have some wrinkles in them. I mainly use these bags for camping so I'm not too concerned with some wrinkles. But if you are using them for business or for nicer clothes then you may want to have access to an iron if they come out with more winkles than you desire.

It stayed flat on me and my field assistant who was twice my size. It's great, the belt part is woven cotton, not nylon, so it won't get permanently creased or bent due to strap adjustment or leaving it stuffed in a bag too long. Even with two full boxes of shells, it stayed tight and flat and in place. Hope this helps!

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 don't recall any minor creases when I got it, but once you use it for a couple of weeks it'll get those creases naturally. It was actually a bit stiff when I first got it and now it's pliable. I've had this case for over a year now and absolutely love it - Enjoy!!

It all depends on the weight of what you have in the bag. If it just clothing in the bag, I have not had that problem, You just have to use common sense!

No it doesn't wrinkle, and folds up pretty small. Probay not as small as a wrinkle prone jacket though.

I took this on a plane trip, rolled it in my bag, but did not pack it flat. I can't tell that I ever rolled it. Hope this helps.
