rain hood

Waterproof head cover

A rain hood is a waterproof covering for the head, typically attached to a jacket or coat and designed to protect against wet weather.

Unlike a hat, it folds away when not needed: She pulled up her rain hood as the drizzle started.

The term also refers to protective covers for equipment like strollers or cameras.
