A flexible transparent sunglass sheet is secured directly to the head band by a connection which is adapted to move the sunglass sheet between only two positions including an extended position with the sunglass sheet extending downward from the hat brim, and a retracted position with the sunglass sheet extending upward from the hat brim. The sunglass sheet has downward curved upper edge portions at each side which are attached to the head band. Also, the sunglass sheet has a resilient nose-contact member attached to the lower edge of a nose-bridging portion of such sheet.
