I don't think that actually obscures your features enough to work as a disguise, and if anything has LESS viability than a regular old balaclava. Was it just cuz it looked creepy? Has there ever been an actual heist where they did that?

Prevent hair and saliva from leaving trace evidence. Hearing is much less dampened. Take some scissors and cut some eye holes. Opaque ones better obscure your features. Also, you can quickly melt them for evidence disposal.
