I would like to re-open this one and support Blanes proposal to change the text back.
We don´t have levels in TFE like for exampel the IOC/FISD, so I think it should be optional for the wearer + as it is now, it doesn´t state, that the eyes need to been hidden.
From
Blackout Mask
The face is blacked out by a sculpted black mask with visible mouth details.
Balaclava
A form-fitting black balaclava is worn to hide the costumer's face and neck.
To
Face Covering
The costumer's face is blacked out behind the white mask. This may be accomplished with a sculpted black mask, or a tight-fitting fabric blackout mask that shows facial features.
The eyes are hidden with black fabric behind the eyes of the mask or by the fabric of a blackout hood.
If a sculpted mask is used, wearer must also use a black balaclava underneath to cover the neck.
Thank you for your time
