Abstract
A dual-visor cap assembly includes a cap having a crown portion, a first visor, and a second visor. The first visor is secured to the lower peripheral edge of the crown portion at the front of the crown portion. The second visor is secured to and carried by an adjustable length strap that passes through strap loops on the crown portion so that the strap and second visor are rotatively and detachably mounted on the crown portion adjacent the lower peripheral edge of the crown portion. The second visor is normally located at the front of the crown portion, centered and resting on the first visor, but can be selectively moved from the centered position on the first visor to either side to shade a wearer's face from a selected side while the first visor continues to shade the wearer's face from the front.
