Abstract

Abstract The present disclosure is directed to a weather protective unitary contiguous substantially flat face and neck cover for use with hard head gear. The cover has an outer layer of non-stretchable waterproof highly reflective nylon having a liner of thermally insulated material. The cover has a top bridge portion above the face of the wearer which terminates in side flaps. Waterproof elastic piping is secured about the free edge of the cover to seat tightly about the portions of the hard hat with which it is in contact as well as to seat tightly about the face and neck of the wearer to shut out weather elements such as wind, snow, rain and the like from contact with the wearer over the area covered by the unitary face and neck cover. The side flaps extending off the top bridge portion have flap securing means to maintain the flaps connected at their free ends beneath the chin of the wearer.
