Needs two words to describe in Polish or other slavic languages.

More appropriate: płaszcz zimowy

"Zimowa zasłona" would sound better.

In the diesel world you might even have an OEM grille block for winter:

But, in the hands of a good ecodriver, I bet it could stay on for most of the year.

My golf has one because the intake has been known to injest liquids and hydrolock, it's good to +50f @freeway speed. The 250 has a truckstop special which is a nauga blanket with straps.

Thanks for the more appropriate translate, I dont speak polish because that was considered un American back in the day.
