Description
Bold 'John Doe' brand skull design on a motley tube snood/face mask. When folded, the skull design adapts to the natural shape of the person’s face when worn as a face mask. Creating an awesome and somewhat frightening visual impact for your costume party or outdoor activity.
Tubular design with a skull tied with rope (at top, bottom and sides) motif. My partner and I disagree about what it is
supposed to resemble:
- Skull tied onto a ship’s mast, pirate style.
- Skull impaled on a wooden cross (Vlad the Impaler/Dracula/Vampire style), or
- Skull with goatee beard, pony-tale and sideburn hair, all tied
with rope.
Whatever the case, the skull and camouflage colours look
good! Designed primarily for use as a face and neck mask. Complies
with UK government restrictions relating to COVID facemasks for public
transport etc. Please see list of features below…
Additional Info / Features
If you have ever played Modern Warfare 2 then you will know the character called Ghost that wears an ominous skull mask/balaclava of a similar style to this one (it has also been seen worn by troops in Afghanistan and Iraq).
Likewise, this style of face/neck covering also features in Call of Duty Ghosts (these games are on the PC, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One). As such it is a fun fashion garment for hanging out with game fiends, which also has many practical uses.
This Face Bandana/Neck Gaiter is made of a thin, lightweight 100% polyester microfiber fabric which:
- Is made from a soft, durable, skin friendly material for comfort. Can be washed and reused.
- Seamless so it slips on and off easily without any restrictive or abrasive seams. This means there are no pressure points, which reduces the likelihood of headaches. Fortunately the weave on this microfiber does not need to be hemmed and it should not unravel or fray.
- Can absorb sweat AND dry quickly (it ‘wicks’ fast). Therefore transferring heat and humidity away from your body. The ‘flash drying’ quick dry fabric technology lets your bandana dry in minutes, instead of hours.
- Is breathable and lightweight, therefore increasing comfort in use.
- Is elastic and stretches more horizontally (than vertically) to fit the contours of your neck and face.
- Keeps you protected (from harmful UV light and sunburn) from the sun and keeps you warmer in cold weather. Perfect as an extra layer for warmth and protection against the wind chill factor when riding during Autumn/Fall, Winter, Spring and even Summer.
- Guards against wind, dust and insects (wind resistant, although not totally windproof, dustproof and insect repellent).
ONE SIZE FITS ALL for adults (not suitable for young children). Approximate size 9.5" X 18" (not stretched).
Can be used for activities, such as:
Running, hunting, fishing, hiking, motorcycle, biking, skiing, snowboarding and snowmobile riding, mountain, walking, climbing, paintball, traveling, yoga, music festival, construction, outdoor working and daily wearing and so on.
Perfect for bikers, hikers, outdoor sports, party, festival etc.
Multifunctional tubular design, with many ways to wear it. Primarily to be used as:
- A neck and face mask (as pictured), which can be a fashion item, or for the aforementioned activities, OR for fancy dress!
Alternative uses include:
- Pulling it down, to be used purely as a snood-style SCARF or neckerchief.
- The blurb suggests it could be used as a gag around the mouth for role play.
- Pulled up and folded over on itself to become a blindfold.
- Up higher to become a headband (to reduce sweat going into eyes).
- Or a hair-band to prevent hair going in the eyes.
Or as other types of headwear:
- A head scarf (to channel plaited, dreadlocked or long hair towards the back of the neck).
- Wearing it as a beanie or skull cap (put around forehead and twist and pull the other end back down on itself).
- Using like a Bandana.
- A balaclava (with one big eye hole, as opposed to two smaller ones).
- A Dickensian style night cap, as worn by Scrooge (in this case to keep the head warmer when camping, for example).
When not being used in the ways above it can be twisted into a figure of eight to carry it as a wrist band AND can be adapted for use as an arm sling in case of emergency.

5.0 out of 5 stars “Style and anonymity!”
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2020
Thanks to the current pandemic, this mask makes it easy to slip away from the banks I work at whilst offering comfort, protection and style. Even big Ron commented on how much he liked it and he is one of the most fashion conscious getaway drivers I know. Well worth the money.

Nice elastic material, comfortably fits adults. Printed nicely and no gaps when stretched. Quick delivery. Keeps relatively warm. Whilst also warding off zombies (I'd imagine).

5.0 out of 5 stars “Nice”
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2020
Love this and it is looking like the government are going to endorse the use of masks. Freaks out the little and old but brings a smile to most. Stays in the same position and does not slip.

5.0 out of 5 stars “Effective face covering”
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2020
At the moment this is providing an effective face covering for my husband. It is stretchy enough for him to get over his head, then fit closely over his nose and mouth. It's an interesting design too, something a little different.
