| Clarification request(s) and response
| | lightweight/cloth hood | Explanation:
Quick review of the french catalogues suggests that "portefeuille" is definitely the lightest grade of "cagoule" available. I take it the employer/authority is proscribing the use of hoods, or grades of hood, which offer an insuffient degree of protection. |
