head cover

Hat or cap

A head cover is any garment or accessory worn on the head for protection, modesty, or style—hats, caps, scarves, hijabs, turbans, helmets.

In golf, a head cover is the protective sheath slipped over a club head to prevent damage: She pulled the head cover off her driver.

Also spelled as one word: headcover.
