ABSTRACT:
The present invention incorporates a unique system of attaching multiple headgear components upon the user so as to increase the overall effectiveness of the headgear during extreme sporting conditions. This is accomplished by providing a headgear apparatus having a visor member which is removably secured to and independently adjustable from a headband member. The visor member surface is uniquely designed with a lightwave transmissive gradient. An eye shield member is removably secured to the headband member by the same set of rivets and is adjustable to provide a desired distance between the eye shield member and the user's eyes. A sealant material is selectively placed between the headband member and the user's forehead so as to prevent water from interfering with the eyes and face of the user during use as well as provide a stabilizing grip. A protective hood member and mask may be removably secured by a set of rivets to the headband member and is securely fitted upon the head of the user by a chin strap. Finally, a cord member is removably fastened by a set of rivets to both the headband member and a piece of wearing apparel, and is adjustable in length by an adjustment buckle to obtain a desired tension when in use.
