Abstract A cap and cap extension. The cap is a standard cap and includes an incorporated visor. The cap extension is attached to the rear section of the cap and is designed to cover an individual's neck when the individual is wearing the cap. The cap extension includes a design that provides utility in both preventing sun exposure to an individual's neck, while at the same time, being able to flap about in a light breeze.
