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 yes -- because I happen to have a really big noggin. If you have a head the size of Charlie Brown's or Frankenstein's monster -- or SpongeBob, you might have an issue. But the TYR cap is stretchy and has a lot of "give" to it.

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

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.

Not sure. Think the bigger ones due to holes on sides of head. sounds cool too.

I wear a hat when I wear mine and have NO problems...I would say you should be fine...

Honestly, I don't think so. The sound is cushioned well. Then you also have volume control. I have noticed the design of the adjustable head does slacken after time. Then again, so do they all.

I would say yes although it may be a little contrary with the particles making it difficult to open and close in time.

Yup, the tops of the heads have a subtle flat area...it doesn't change the overall shape, but they balance perfectly fine. My wife says they're not prone to tipping.

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.

Thank you for the question. You're correct... the Panellus Stipticus caps are a bit more wavy.

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 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!

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.

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

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

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.
