ABSTRACT:
A snap brim hat is disclosed which has a crown, a brim assembly and tie straps. The brim assembly is manipulable between a pair of stable configurations. The brim assembly defines a sinuously configured brim periphery and includes an annular brim member formed from a flexible fabric and a hoop-like brim spring member secured to the brim member periphery. The brim and spring members react against each other so that each is stressed by the other and the stresses are balanced when the brim assembly is in either of its stable configurations.
When not in use, the hat can be collapsed into three generally concentric adjacent circular spring coils, or loops, and inserted into a suitable carrying container.
