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

Hippie style floral design, with stylised flowers on a turquoise background

For fashion or activities i.e. motorbike, bicycle, BMX, skateboarding, snowboarding, hiking, camping etc

 

Brand NEW and sealed (as it came from the supplier).

 

Neck tube (scarf), primarily made from a polyester microfiber which stretches around the contours of your face and neck - one size fits all.

 

Hippie style ‘boho chic’ floral snood inspired by the intense flowery fashions of the Swinging Sixties in London and at festivals like Woodstock in '69.  Pictures for illustration purposes only as product unopened and folded up small (last two photos from an alternative colour of this design and the last one shows that for someone who is petite, it could potentially be used as as a sleeveless/strapless crop top, or rolled up to become a boob tube.  This might be handy as impromptu beachwear for example, although this is not its primary purpose and when stretched tight it may become slightly translucent).

Description

 

Classic tubular design, with bold colours and a retro vintage-style repeated stylised flower motif which looks very retro with a Sixties/Seventies vibe.  Could be used as part of a fancy dress outfit as a hippie in the peace and ‘free love’ folk/psychedelic/prog rock era.

 

Not sure what type of flowers are supposed to be represented, but my guess is that it is one of the following:

YELLOW FLOWERS – Buttercups, Daffodyl (Narcissus), Dandelion, Forsythia, Marigolds, Sunflower, Witch Hazel (yellow)

WHITE FLOWERS - White Gerbera Daisies, White Jasmine

BOTH YELLOW & WHITE FLOWERS - Anemones, Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Cosmos, Dahlia, Peony, Roses

 

It's simplicity makes it more versatile (as it is a multifunctional item – see images and description below).  Primarily for use as a face and neck mask.  Complies with UK government restrictions relating to facemasks for public transport etc.  Please see list of features below…

 

 

Additional Info / Features

 

Slightly abstract design with echoes of the style eschewed by the hippie flower power generation in the swinging Sixties.  Breezy bohemian style, perfect for spring/summer music festivals, like Glastonbury.  For use as a versatile fashion item.

 

This Face Bandana/Neck Gaiter/Magic Scarf is made of a thin, lightweight polyester microfiber fabric which has the following features:

- 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 NB. In some countries this type of headwear is known as a 'magic turban').

- 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).

- Potentially using as a sleeveless crop top (last image) or boob tube, although it was not designed specifically for this purpose.

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  “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, as the simple ones can more easily be used in the multi-functional ways specified on the wrapper.
