Optional Navy Uniform items?
Will make this simple:
Are plain black ski hoods (balaclava type) considered authorized optional items for wear with the Navy working uniform, during extreme cold weather, if so/not can someone show me the list of optional navy uniform items, I could not find them in the Uniform Regs manual
Note: I was issued a 3 hole black ski hood in boot camp (8 years ago) which is long gone and also taken off the required uniform (seabag) item list
So is it up to individual commands then to authorize what is optional?

The Navy provides for what uniforms will be worn during specific weather and activities.
They are not exactly authorized, but more and more commands (depending on your job) have been allowing their personnel to wear non-faddish items to keep their personnel healthy to keep the mission going.
