balaclavas
Full-head winter masks
Balaclavas are close-fitting garments covering the head and neck with an opening for the face, or sometimes just the eyes and mouth.
They provide warmth in extreme cold and are worn by skiers, soldiers, and outdoor workers.
Because they conceal identity, balaclavas are associated with criminals and protesters: The robbers wore balaclavas.
