Cloak refers to a type of armor worn in the back equipment slot. Cloaks are also called capes, drapes, and other terms. All cloaks are categorized in the Auction House interface as cloth, regardless of the name, and you have the ability to hide it in the interface options. Cloaks, among some other armor items like rings and trinkets, do not suffer from durability loss.
