ABSTRACT:
A cap or visor provides for side flaps that may be folded upwardly so as to be out of the sight of the wearer and may alternately be folded downwardly for shading the side and front of the face and upper neck. In either case the forward extending ends of the flaps may be joined with either the upper portion of the cap or headband portion of a visor, or with the free end of the visor portion in at least two different positions so as to adjust the level of shading or to adjust the position of the flaps with respect to the upper portion of the cap. The flaps provide shading protection along the sides of the head as well as forward of the face along both sides of the visor. In an alternative embodiment the side flaps are attached to the cap or visor by Velcro.RTM. fastener material.
