ski mask

Eye-holes only headwear

A ski mask is a knitted head covering that exposes only the eyes, nose, and mouth, worn for warmth in cold weather.

Despite the name, ski masks are associated as much with robbery as with winter sports—the design conceals identity while allowing vision and speech.

The security footage showed a man in a ski mask.
