More particularly, when used as a head covering this device contains within it a cape which may be deployed and draped about the shoulders. It is an article of clothing for a person comprising a head covering such as a cape, visor or headband, and a deployable cape for covering at least the shoulders of the person, whereby, in a deployed position the cape is draped about at least the head and shoulders of the person leaving the face of the person uncovered and in the stowed position the cape is stowed within the head covering. The cape can be sufficiently long that it covers the feet of the wearer.
