Hi. I am working on designing a Booster gold costume that isn't spandex and I am currently stuck on how to make his cowl.
This is the look I am aiming for.

My main issue is what material to sure. I was originally thinking of using a neoprene face mask, cutting it to the shape of opening I am looking for, and sewing a covering over it to get it the proper color. But I realized that this could get very warm after wearing it for a while. So now, I am looking at going for a scratch build with a zipper at the back to hold it tight. I have also read in the past to use a plastic mask from a costume shop to keep the forehead fabric rigid.

It will need to fit over my goggles.

What type of material do you all suggest? I appreciate any help.
