Abstract
An auxiliary visor system for use with or without helmet. Includes an attachment band formed of an improved stretch loop material with loop connector material on one side and silicone on the second. The second, inward facing side secures the front visor to the helmet. The stretch material provides inwardly-directed force to the exterior surface of a helmet. The silicone material is flexible and also provides frictional grip to secure the attachment band to the exterior of the helmet. A hook material fastener couples to the loop connector material on the exterior of the improved stretch loop material to close the attachment band. An optional detachable visor attaches to the outside of the attachment strap formed of the stretch loop material with hook material.
