Abstract
Disclosed herein is a visor system including a bill portion configured to bend enough to conform to a bent curvature of a hat bill. The bill portion includes a front curved section and a rear curved section. A first component of a magnetic pair is at least partially encapsulated within the bill portion. The visor system includes an auxiliary portion having a second component of the magnetic pair at least partially encapsulated therein. The magnetic pair includes at least one magnet and at least one other element that is either a magnet or a magnetizable material. The magnetic pair allows the bill portion to be moved to various positions and rotations, while coupled to the hat bill, to provide added shade and the like. The bill portion is flexible enough that as it is moved and rotated it conforms to the existing bent curvature of the hat bill.
