Visors shade your eyes from the sun. The brim of a hat keeps the sun out of your eyes, but the visor of a helmet does an even better job. The visor actually covers your eyes, much like sunglasses. Many motorcycle helmets have a visor, and so do some police helmets and football helmets.

This type of headgear was designed for use in outdoor sports (especially golf, tennis, volleyball, and softball) where eye protection from direct sunlight is desirable, while the missing crown allows for ventilation. It is now often used by non-athletes at beach and other sunny outdoor events.

Back in 1924 a fellow named Hathaway invented the first sun visor, or "glare shield" in his words, which mounted to the outside of a Ford Model T.

The visor hat is always a great idea to protect your face from the bright sunlight. Whether you are sunbathing on the beach, playing golf, jogging or watching cricket at the stadium, the visor hat is perfect to help shield your face in a heatwave.

While a visor is not as effective as a face mask in terms of protection, it may be utilised as an alternative.

90s Visors hit their high point in popularity among the tour's elite in the early 90s, vastly outnumbering all other forms of headwear.

First sun visor was created by amateur inventor and had a “glare shield” name. This invention was quickly picked up by Ford and since 1924, all Ford Model T with full cabin had this feature. For some around a decade sun visor was an outside feature of the car and only in 1931 it took place inside the cabin.

“A good visor can protect your skin and eyes from damaging UVA/B rays from the sun,” Dr. Amin explains, and while you might be thinking that sun hats pose a better sun protection option, he disagrees.

Visors are cooler than hats. I do kind of think visors look cooler than hats, but what's more notable is that the hat without a top means that the heat escapes from your head better, keeping you cooler.
