Abstract
Abstract A head covering comprising a hat constructed and arranged to cover the entire head of a wearer except for an opening which exposes substantially the wearer's entire face. A face covering extends across the opening and is attached to the head covering along the upper and side edges thereof, the lower edge of the face covering being disconnected from the head covering to provide a gap therebetween. The face covering is formed of a mesh-like material which permits wearer visibiity and defines horizontal and vertical arcs which are longer than the corresponding arcs formed by the face opening so that the face covering is positioned in spaced relation from the wearer's face.
