It's very useful against the rain and cold, but it's impossible to wear, if you close the Baclava, then all your head is covered except the noose (meaning the eyes are covered !). There is no way to close it well, without having the top of it taping the eyes. And if you let it a little bit opened, it moves around on the head, reducing the visibility. Maybe it can be good if you have a huge head or something.
