Sun Visor – Oversized Flared Brim with Open Crown and Inner Sweatband

Sun Visor – All the Shade of a Big Hat, None of the Trapped Heat

A crownless visor with a sweeping brim that flares down past the forehead and shades the eyes and face. Because the top is open, warm air leaves instead of gathering under a crown. The inner band grips gently and sits clear of the temples.

Why choose an open-crown sun visor?

Closed hats hold heat, which is exactly the wrong thing on a hot day. Take the crown away and the shade stays while the heat goes straight up. It also leaves your hair alone, which is half the reason people reach for a visor.

• Oversized brim — a broad, downward-flared brim keeps direct light off the eyes and face.
• Open top — no crown means warm air rises out instead of building up.
• Structured inner band — holds position without pressing on the temples.
• Room for your hair — high ponytails, braids and buns all fit without being flattened.
• Light woven build — it barely registers on the head over a long afternoon.

Shade over the eyes, open sky over the head.

Set the band low on the forehead so the brim shades the eyes rather than the hairline. On the coast a slight downward tilt keeps reflected glare off the water out of your face. The contrasting sweatband wipes clean with a damp cloth and dries quickly.
