       8 . A perspiration band for headgear comprising: 
 A flexible unitary body formed from a moisture absorbing material and defined by a first elongated edge, a first side, a second side, and a second edge opposite the first edge, said second edge having an outwardly extending arcuate central tab defined by an arcuate edge, said second edge having greater linear dimensions then the first edge; and    a plurality of securing members attached along the first edge and the second edge, said securing members being attached together when said flexible body is positioned on a headband of a headgear.    
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein said second edge is further defined by a first portion and a second portion oriented at an acute angle in relation to the sides of the flexible body.  
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein said second edge is oriented at an obtuse angle in relation to the first side and the second side.  
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein said securing members comprise corner members for securing opposing corners of the body, and central securing members for securing the central tab of the second edge with a central portion of the first edge when said body is folded lengthwise over a headband of a headgear, said first edge and said second edge extending above the headband of the headgear.  
   
   
       12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein said central securing members are mounted at a pre-determined distance from an imaginary central cross line of the flexible body.
