Basically it's a large full body sleeveless covering made of treated felt wool. Worn to keep warm obviously, but it was used for multiple purposes such as keeping the horse warm while riding (when on horseback it drapes over the back of the horse), as a blanket and even building tents and shelters.

Its a shepherd/horseman clothing worn by pastors. Kurds do wear it also.

Many of them are round-headed like the Ossetians and less robust than the Chechens.

I can discern many elements like Mtebids/Kaukasids, Arrmenids (Asia Minor), Iranids (Caspian), Alpinoids, Eastmediterranids/Pontids (Mediterranean/Balkan), Norids, Nordids and Dinarids.

Overall, they look extremely N Caucasian.

But they could also fit into the Balkans, Anatolia, the S Caucasus and western Iran.

Avars are not lighter people. Avars are very darkers.

you meant they look like? They can pass in the Balkans without even trying, too similar. Ukraine as well.

Nope, I'm not, I only met a few of them, those Avars in Ukraine, Poland and Germany and also I've read and learned a lot of the nature and geography of Caucus mountains and history about the Caucasian indigenous tribes, as well. I know that I have Caucasian blood, it's something that makes me proud sometimes.
The similarity you can also hear from member Nabatea1, his ancestors came from that area
