Reusable, Breathable Tubular Head-wrap (Neck & Face Mask, Cowl, Gaiter, Shawl or Snood style headwear)

Stylish Geometric Print using Greyscale Colours and Angular Shapes (mostly triangles)

For casual use, or outdoor activities i.e. motorbike, cycle, BMX, skateboard, snowboarding, hiking, camping etc

 

Includes a brand NEW and sealed head-wrap (as it came from the supplier).

 

Designed by a small company called Vivote.  Made from ergonomic polyester microfiber which stretches around the contours of your face (one size fits most).

 

Tubular neckerchief/scarf/headwrap design with a smart abstract angular geometric 'Polar Camo' print, as pictured (whilst inspired by what people wear in the Arctic/Antarctic, it would not provide sufficient insulation in this environment!).  Ideal gift for someone with a passion for modern art, contemporary fashion, or retro computer games (as it resembles the 3D vector graphics at the dawn of computing).

Description

 

Funky abstract graphic with a bold geometric futuristic arctic/alpine camo (camouflage).  Ideal for use as a fun fashion or outdoor sportswear item (but not thick enough for extreme cold).

 

The garment perfectly adapts to the natural shape of the person’s face when worn as a face covering or mask (no eye holes present).  Creating stylish visual impact for your party, rave, outdoor activity or fashion wear.

 

Innovative tubular design.  Ideal as a mouth, nose and neck mask, as shown.  Complies with UK government restrictions relating to facemasks for public transport etc.  Please see list of features below…

 

 

Additional Info / Features

 

Snow patrol snood, featuring a geometric triangular / rhomboid / chevron pattern in the style of interlocking crazy paving, modern mosaics, or cracked ice/smashed glass.  Its contemporary feel is inspired by the bold patterns of the 60s and 70s and the cold monochrome colour spectrum of yesteryear.

 

The angular pattern evokes the 3D Vector Monitor graphics from the golden age of arcade games such as Atari’s Asteroids or the classic Star Wars coin-op game, or the primary colour three dimensional polygon landscapes of PC games that followed…

 

A fine gift or an original piece for yourself.

 

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.

- High quality soy-based ink print (which is vegan, renewable and eco-friendly) with the image on the reverse side as well.

- 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, so it stays in place.  Can be folded onto itself around the eye area or base of neck for comfort.

- 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.

I have to wear a face covering for work. I am a manger in an aquatic shop, this was the perfect face covering for myself, it’s been used and washed daily for over a month now and is still in fantastic condition! Really nice material and comfy to wear. Much easier than a typical mask that goes behind the ears.

I bought this set as I liked the design, mainly bought to use as face guards during the pandemic when travelling on the tubes but now we are in lock down I'm using them as hair bands or wrist bands, they will come in handy once I'm back at the gym to help keep my hair off my face.

Great to give as gifts to family & friends! They're a nice lightweight material with a really good stretch. The designs are brilliantly detailed. Difficult to show in the photo but there are different ways to wear these. I use them as hats in winter, to keep the sun off in summer & I always keep one on my wrist for that unpreventable runners nose! I do really like them, marked 4* purely due to the packaging. Maybe try paper wrapped to be more eco friendly? But as said, they will make ace gifts

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2021

 

Since the lockdown I have been wearing these small masks, which I found so uncomfortable especially fixing it around the ears... These are the diamonds in the rough, you just put it around your neck and you just adjust and go ..

no more suddenly falling off one ear etc...keep having to touch your face to fix... wondering if you may spread the virus to yourself already . These just stay where you place . If I could give 100 stars I would!!!
