The Modular Head Covering System includes a temperature regulation module, an insect-excluding module and a rain cover module. The temperature regulation module can include the following components: a head-encircling member such as a headband, to which a visor, a scarf-like headcover, and a pair of side flaps can be detachably attached in varying combinations for shade, regulation of body heat, and insulation. The headcover attaches within a pocket built into the section of the head-encircling member that crosses the forehead of the wearer. Two notches are cut into the headcover, one on each side, where the pocket ends at approximately the temples of the wearer. Notches allow the attaching edge of the headcover to be fastened within the pocket, and the rest of the headcover to be positioned either over (on the outside of) the head-encircling member or under (on the inside of) the head-encircling member. The side flaps also fasten within pockets built into the head-encircling member, one on each side. They can open, close, and overlap in the back, and move forward and backward. The insect cover module is designed to provide an insect-proof environment for the head, neck, and upper torso and to function comfortably when worn with a backpack-like device. The rain cover module is designed to prevent precipitation from contacting the head, neck, and shoulders of the wearer and to present no seams to direct precipitation. The insect cover module and the rain cover module can be used in conjunction with the temperature regulation module as weather and environmental conditions require.
