I don't know, to be honest. If this is a cultural (& not religious)

What if it's a Muslim Biker Chick who wants to wear a full-face
helmet in court....as part of her culture?

It isn't religious, and your analogy is exactly the sort of problem that arises from accommodating some cultural affectations.
