Abstract
A flexible hood has an upper part and a lower part formed integrally with the upper part. A visor is carried by the upper part and a filter is mounted to the lower part on an external side. In a first configuration, the visor is positioned away from a user's face to accommodate spectacles or goggles. In other configurations, the visor is positioned closer to the user's face to reduce the 'tunnel vision' effect created by the first configuration. A continuous loop strap joins together the upper and lower parts of the hood to provide an infinite number of positions of adjustment. When the hood is not worn, it is placed into its fully retracted configuration and then compressed so that it occupies less space. When so compressed, it is folded in half with the visor abutting the filter. This storage configuration protects the visor from damage.
