The product photo is misleading. The hat isn't crumbled, nor is it a floppy hat. The edge has an internal stiff plastic cord that gives the hat some shape. Its not wire, so the hat shouldnt be folded and won't lend itself to shaping. But if you can pack it flat, it would make a good travel hat since it is so lightweight.

Ive tried it in a moderate breeze and the brim doesnt fly up. I think the combination of the brim width and the reinforced edge keeps the wind from getting under the hat.

The brim is wide. I have several of the OR Oasis hats. The Mesa Verde hat brim is a little wider. The Oasis brim is a foam covered brim, while the Mesa Verde is a single layer of fabric with internal edging. So the Oasis is a hardier hat, but the Mesa Verde is more flattering.

I got the blue. Its a denim blue. A good color.
