Sankine Hoods

"I think it is kinda dumb. I mean, aren't hoods supposed to protect your head from the rain and cold? Their ears are completely exposed to the elements!

— Kalpashter Havekbo, regarding the Sankine Hood.

General

Sankine Hoods is the umbrella term for all hoods made by and for the Sankine with emphasis on the ears. This means that they have holes in them to allow the ears "to breathe."
Some types are simply pulled over the head like a normal, human hood, while others are a bit more complicated: known as strap-hoods, they connect straps together around the ears, at the right and left sides, right at the bottom, usually with buttons or string.

Ear Glows

Sankine Hoods also, usually at least, comes with attachable "ear glows" that one uses to cover the ears in windy and cold weather, thus turning the hood into something more classical and human-like.
The ear glows are usually of a much softer and lighter material than the hood itself, in cases where the latter is made of more rigid materials. Strings are usually used to keep them attached.
