Cagoule

A cagoule (French: [kaɡul], also spelled cagoul, kagoule or kagool), is the British English term for a lightweight weatherproof raincoat or anorak with a hood (usually without lining), which often comes in knee-length form. The North American English equivalent is windbreaker. The word cagoule is borrowed from the French for balaclava or hood. In some versions, when rolled up, the hood or cross-chest front pocket doubles as a bag into which the shell can be packed.
