ski masks

Knit face covers

A ski mask is a knit cap that covers the entire head and neck, with openings for eyes and sometimes nose and mouth.

Originally designed for winter sports protection, ski masks are associated with criminals and robbers because they conceal identity: The surveillance footage showed three men in ski masks.

Also called a balaclava.
