Abstract A visor apparatus for attachment to a helmet having snap portions thereon. The visor has a visor support portion and a visor bill portions integral therewith and protruding from the support portion. The visor support portion is curved to fit adjacent the helmet and has a plurality of generally U-shaped slots formed therein to form a plurality of resilient tabs. Each resilient tab has a snap portion attached thereto to thereby allow resilience to each mounted snap portion. Each snap portion may be reinforced by having a greater thickness than in the visor bill and each snap mounted therein may be mounted in an elongated slot. The visor support portion has a pair of end snaps mounted in horizontally elongated slots for adjustment to the helmet.
