The Drifter's Cloak is an equipment item in Hollow Knight: Silksong which functions as an upgrade to the Hunter's Cloak, replacing it in Hornet's inventory.

Function

Holding the JUMP button in mid-air allows Hornet to ride vertical updrafts of wind in the environment. This ability can also be used to glide down slowly from high places.

How to Acquire

The Seamstress in the Far Fields sews an array of spines into Hornet's cloak as a reward for completing the Flexile Spines Wish. Hokers must be attacked in order to collect the 25 necessary Spine Cores.
