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 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.

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'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.

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

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 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.

No, it's really flimsy and cheaply made. It doesn't help at all with 'head flopping'.

no much mate... the botton in the thumb is the more visible (2 hats more)... for price, had an easy deccision !!!! Good Luck

It might be a bit heavy, not terribly, but maybe not comfortable for longer periods of time. If I were to do this, I'd be inclined to pierce holes in the end and attach a ribbon to securely tie it to my head. It also may be a bit larger/bulkier than you'd like. I don't think it would work well for a more traditional, accurate look, but maybe a more casual/comical look.

The lamp is more over the shoulder, not over head in height. It would be very close to persons head if attempted as you described.

I found it to be soft....definitely not firm. (of course that's subjective, but I think it's accurate). Didn't raise my head too high.

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

I've had mine for a couple of months now and it is working flawlessly. If anything, I would say the head is more on the snug side.

Nope. It's so tippy in portrait it was clearly not designed to be. But I'm pleased enough by the product in other ways so that its not a problem.

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!

Yep. It's floppy. It works fine and I haven't damaged it yet, but it feels vulnerable. I wish it had a quick-release for storage elsewhere.
