An elven cloak provides magic cancellation 3 and stealth. It is a faded pall when unidentified. Elven cloaks, along with elven boots, are among the lightest and most common magical armor, making them ideal for polypiling. It can safely be enchanted to +7.

Note that unlike elven boots, wearing an elven cloak does not give any special message to indicate that you are stealthy.

Elven Rangers always start with a +2 elven cloak upon entering the dungeon.

Encyclopaedia entry

The Elves next unwrapped and gave to each of the Company the
clothes they had brought. For each they had provided a hood
and cloak, made according to his size, of the light but warm
silken stuff that the Galadrim wove. It was hard to say of
what colour they were: grey with the hue of twilight under
the trees they seemed to be; and yet if they were moved, or
set in another light, they were green as shadowed leaves, or
brown as fallow fields by night, dusk-silver as water under
the stars.
