Open face hood

Clubber wearing open-face "Medusa"-style black latex hood at Torture Garden.

Open-face hoods are a type of hood which covers the head but leaves the face exposed. These accessories are particularly popular with females (both dominant and submissive) for both practical and aesthetic reasons. Unlike full-face hoods (such as gimp masks, isolation hoods, and executioner hoods), open-face hoods are much safer to use because they do not obstruct the wearer's breathing; also, wearing an open-face hood does not smudge makeup, nor does it disguise or obscure the wearer's identity.

Open-face hoods cover the wearer's entire head and neck with a large opening in front that frames the face in the manner of a medieval wimple or traditional nun's habit. These hoods can be made from either latex or leather.
