Abstract: A combination visor and sweatband for protecting the eyes and surrounding peri-ocular areas and for absorbing and evaporating perspiration from the upper facial area is disclosed. The combination visor and head band includes an absorbent, elastic sweatband encircling the head of the user. A visor is secured to the lower edge of the sweatband extending downwardly adapted to shade the eyes of the user. The head band is cooperable with detachable fasteners on the eyeshield so the visor may be secured to the eyeshield. In one embodiment, bendable stays are imbedded in the material of the visor so that the visor can be conformed to any shape desired by the user. In another embodiment, the depending visor extends annularly around the entire lower edge of the sweatband so the sweatband can be rotated when the portion at the user's forehead becomes saturated with moisture.
