| Abstract: |

The headband construction includes an elongated band having a pair of eye openings therethrough which is receivable in encircling relation on the head of a wearer, a flap which is attached to the band adjacent the eye openings, and a lens piece which is secured on the band covering the eye openings. The flap is alternately positionable in a first position thereof wherein it is received and detachably retained in a wrapped disposition on the band so that it covers the eye openings and the lens piece, or a second position thereof wherein it is retained in a rolled or folded disposition adjacent the band so that it extends longitudinally therealong but does not obstruct the lens piece or the eye openings. The headband can also be worn with the flap in the second position thereof with the lens piece removed to provide a retainer for a pair of conventional eyeglasses.
