The moisture absorbing component has a core of moisture absorbent material covered with a soft, pliable material which will be comfortable to the user and will efficiently promote the absorption of moisture from the user's skin and the transfer of that moisture to the absorbent core. The second component of the sweatband includes an elongated, elastically extensible member with the ends thereof fixed to opposite ends of the first sweatband component. A visor may be attached to the sweatband to provide an article of apparel which is capable of absorbing perspiration from a user's forehead and of simultaneously shielding the user's eyes and face from the elements. | |
