ABSTRACT:
A self-conforming, head worn device which includes a head encircling band and a visor dependent therefrom which are fabricated from a flexible material that softens and conforms to a wearer's head upon warming up to the body temperature of the wearer. The head band includes a first fastening member on a first tail, and a second fastening member on a second tail of the head band. A plurality of protrusions on the first fastening member reversibly engage a plurality of bores on the second fastening member. The head band material is preferably a polymeric material which has a T.sub.g or softening temperature that is slightly lower than the human body temperature so that, when worn about the head of a wearer, the head band softens and conforms to the shape of the wearer's head, thereby maximizing wearer comfort. In an alternative embodiment, there is included hair receiving member in the form of a generally circular "pony-tail" adapter for use by persons with long hair.
