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.

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.

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 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 wore it open air safari trucks and the brim did fold over at high speeds, but it did not obscure my vision at all. The brim is flexible but narrow. My head did not get hot at all wearing it in Africa, including walking through the brush.

Yes-- the brim is wide and provides good shade both in front and on the sides. The back flap is soft and hangs down far enough to protect my neck, which is not swan-like but is not especially short either. I am very happy with it for hiking.

At least 4 inches. I've noticed that much wider than that, brims tend to flop in your face which I find incredibly annoying.

No, too floppy. Good extra workwitheverygun holster. Buy a crossbreed and save yourself the aggravation of trying numerous holsters

With the OP reflector it's a smooth blend between both. I would say it leans just a little towards a flood.

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... in cooler climates it is ideal. It is a heavy duty hat, therefore might not be a cool as other hats.

Never had a problem with sweat rolling down my face, and I`ve worn it a lot when walking, on hot days. Very cool hat in general, though the brim is a bit flimsy. I find if I roll up the whole hat tight, in the opposite direction, it seems to reverse the droop pretty well.

Although I have not had a chance to do so, I would not recommend it. The brim is reinforced and washing it might weaken it.

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.

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

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'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.
