Benefits of technology

[0008]The invention is a clothing device for use by people in the outdoors. The clothing device includes a hat body, which can be a billed or baseball type hat. The hat has a bottom edge, to which the bill or brim is attached. The clothing device also includes a flexible facemask. The facemask is attached to the front bottom edge of the hat, on the same side as the bill in the case of a baseball type hat. The facemask is configured to hang freely from the bottom edge of the hat body, and to be foldable into the hat body so that it can be worn in a storage configuration. In this way, a person may wear the hat with the facemask down when he is in the field, and tuck the facemask into the interior of the hat when he wears the hat driving or to town. The facemask is specifically made so that by merely lifting the hat into the air by the bill of the hat, the face mask falls out of the hat interior, and is in place in front of the hunters face. This allows minimal movement when putting on the mask.

Problems solved by technology

No window material, either clear or colored is used in the face mash whether it is made with or without eyeholes, as there is a likelihood of reflection from a window surface that would defeat the purpose of the camouflage mask.

Camouflage serves to break up the outline of the hunter, and makes it harder for an animal to see the hunter. One situation in which camouflage is especially useful is when trying to cover a hunter's face. Not only are animals able to spot two eyes more readily than other features in the environment, but a hunter's light colored face can ap...
