  • Patent number: 6023787
    Abstract: The present invention is a hood with faceguard and visor for protecting a user from cold or inclement weather. It comprises a hood with a drawstring and to which a protective facecover is attached. The faceguard is attached to a lower portion of the hood in a tubular fashion. In use, the faceguard is pulled up through the lower portion of the hood which then obverts or turns the faceguard and lower portion "outside in". This places the faceguard in proper alignment for use on a users face within the hood, affording maximum protection for a user from the weather.An alternate embodiment of the invention comprises a faceguard integrally connected to the hood or cover in a position to align with a user's face upon being donned by a user. In the alternate embodiment, a drawstring is contained within a channel. The channel forms an arc described by a path beginning at a first side of the faceguard, arcing up to a zenith of the hood, and descending to the second side of the faceguard.
