Abstract
A module headwear system worn by a user that comprises a headband having an interior surface and an exterior surface, a first accessory, and first and second attachment members configured to selectively, detachably couple the first accessory to one of the interior surface of the headband and the exterior surface of the headband. The first accessory may comprise a visor, a crown, ear protection, neck protection, or eyeglasses. The module headwear system may also include a passageway configured to provide ventilation to the users' head.
