Abstract

Abstract An apparatus including a cap structure with an integral forwardly directed brim. The brim includes a first hook and loop fastener strip mounted laterally of the brim to a bottom surface thereof adjacent the cap body portion of the associated cap. The organization includes an eye glass structure including a plurality of spaced hinges mounted to a rigid support plate wherein the rigid support plate includes a second hook and loop fastener strip selectively securable to the first hook and loop fastener strip. Modification of the instant invention further includes a flexible covering flap formed with a forward terminal end and opposed hook and loop fastener strips mounted to each side of the flap adjacent the forward terminal and cooperative with companion hook and loop fastener strips mounted to upper and lower surfaces of the visor to selectively cover and uncover the eye glass organization dependent on use.
