A long, loose-fitting hooded robe or cloak worn in Arab and North African countries, typically made of wool or cotton.
From French burnous, from Arabic burnus or Hebrew bernus, originally referring to a Roman military cloak that was adapted in the Levant.
The burnoose's design is engineering genius—the hood provides sun protection, the loose fit creates air circulation in heat, and it works as a blanket at night.
