Abstract: An article of apparel specifically designed to be worn on or about the head of a wearer and comprising in essence a combination head band and shade producing element extending outwardly therefrom. A support band is specifically configured to be disposed in surrounding relation to the upper portion of the wearer's head in somewhat conventional fashion. A visor is at least partially defined by a flexible material pouch specifically configured to have mounted therein a visor support element so as to provide outward extension of the visor relative to the face or other predetermined portion of the wearer's head wherein the visor support element can be readily removed from the pouch to allow washing of the entire article of apparel or alternately for folding over of the visor portion about itself in surrounding relation to the support band so as to essentially function as a band used primarily to absorb perspiration from the head of the wearer.
