Is the brim floppy in wind? My husband needs a hat for strong winds that won't flop down in his face.

The brim is soft, and flexible, but does not flop in face. Pay attention to sizing comments. I had to send mine back in exchange for a bigger size. Without looking, I believe it was two sizes bigger. Fits perfect now. Hat comes with directions. Directions describe how the hat should fit. The second hat fits as described in directions. Otherwise, "NICE HAT". You'll like it. And thanks for the reminder; I need to put mine back in the truck. I physically work outside in all weather conditions. The hat won't even blow off my head. And if using the chin rope (forgot what it's called), it can not blow off. The brim is soft, and flexible, but does not flop in face. Pay attention to sizing comments.

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

The brim is only 3" wide. There may be some flopping at 35+ miles an hour. If your husband is planning on being exposed to winds of that caliber (or higher), I suggest he not wear the hat.

I have never experienced brim flop with my Tilley, whether walking in strong winds in town or on a ridge.

The brim on mine measures 3 inches. I live in Riverside Ca. my back yard faces South with no shade and this hat does a good job of keeping the sun off of you.

No it's pretty much open it works great but under heavy winds I dunno. I've noticed the nature of the fabric really holds stuff in place well... kinda like herb velcro.

The hat has a bit of a soft rumpled look anyway so I'd say packing it isn't going to be a problem if you can avoid folding the brim. :)

Absolutely. Flat is best. I wouldn't fold the brim, but mine gets packed flat in a duffel bag on each fishing trip.

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.

The brim on the front and sides is 3.25 inches wide; at the back the brim is 4.5 inches wide. The brim is relatively stiff and typically does a good job of not flipping up, unless you're in a pretty strong wind.

The zipper goes up to the chin, so it stays on...but I don't know if I'd say "securely." If there is a lot of wind, i kind of blows up...but not off (if fully zipped up).

It is flexible but retains its shape. The brim is not all that wide. I saw several at Academy for sports& Outdoors at a good price and you can actually see them. If one is near you, have a look before you order....some have a net at the top so it is nice and cool and some just have eyelets which is not as cool.

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.

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.

No the whole helmet regulates the wind very well. Personally though I would go for a different helmet. It was a nice helmet, but not half as nice as my current icon alliance helmet. A little more expensive but defiantly worth it.

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 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.

I also live in a windy area. I have a "Broan Nutone 636 roof cap with flap". I have not had any problems so far. Have been through a couple of storms and it has been fine.

I like the hat a lot. It seems to hold up very well. Frankly I haven't washed it yet...good question.

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