With cotton canvas material, I worry about getting hot (Gulf Coast in summer - HOT). How effective are the mesh sides for ventilation?

The material is a bit thick...you gotta pay more for a more 'performance oriented' hat i think

Living in West Texas, the more sun protection the better, so this hat was worth 26 dollars...but I wanted an even bigger brim, an even lighter weight, to combat the evil death rays...

Did you find the lighter weight and bigger brim? without looking like Scarlet O'Hara, that is..

Does this hat have an adjustment cinch around the crown, like the OR Oasis Sombrero (item ODR0225)?

yes, but if you have a really small crown, it still might not get tight enough, beware of sudden wind gusts...

Perfect in every way. I use it to hike in the desert and It's lightweight and cool, plus it keeps the sun away. The service from Backcountry was fantastic--I will definitely recommend you to friends and family.

Yes, it's soft and floppy. It's fine for putting in a suitcase, but isn't something you'd put into a tiny stuff sack.

You could not tell from the photo and there was no description really about this hat, but it had a wide brim . . . larger than what I was expecting and too large for what I wanted.

Is it water repellant, light weight? looking for something to shield my face from the sun & neck from the sun & keep my head dry & cool in caribbean. Also, how floppy is it?

Not water repellant, mid-weight, as for floppiness...it will fold for packing but the brim will not fall into your eyes.

No this is 100% cotton canvas so it is not waterproof (I'd reccomend Nikwax cotton proof to help with this problem) and it weights 4.3 oz / 122 Grams. And as for floppiness, I have no clue.
hope that helped
