Description
Bold life-size
black and white skull illustration with a golden skull pattern beneath. The exact theme of this item is open to
interpretation. Versatile, as it
can relate to:
- The Mexican/Latin
American 'Day of The Dead' festival, as they sometimes have their skull
motifs looking like this. In this
case the golden skull design would be reminiscent of the treasures
of the ancient Aztecs or Incas.
- Pirates
(of the Caribbean) with the golden skulls reminding me of the pirate
treasure in the buccaneer movies of yesteryear and children’s films
like The Goonies.
- French
Revolution, as the execution by guillotine of the King (Louis
XVI), monarchy and aristocrats ties in with the skull theme. Plus high end French luxury goods often have
this style of check pattern in a similar colour palette, which harks back to
the Baroque and Rococo periods.
- The
Dark Ages and Beowulf (the Angle/Saxon legend) when Viking
pillaging left a trail of barbaric death and destruction whilst also
giving rise to material wealth, as illustrated by archaeological remains, such
as that of a king with a gold death mask at Sutton Hoo, in
Suffolk.
Whatever
the case, the design looks great on this motley tube snood/face mask. The jawbone adapts to the natural shape of
the person’s face when worn as a mask over the face, creating an awesome
and somewhat frightening visual impact for a fancy dress costume party
or outdoor activity.
Tubular
design with a black and white skeleton half-skull / jawbone face motif. The golden skull pattern below utilises a yellow
ochre, brown and black colour palette, to stylish effect. Designed 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
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 type 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.
FABRIC
PROPERTIES
This Face
Bandana/Neck Gaiter is made of a thin, lightweight 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.
WAYS
TO WEAR
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).
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 item, as the simple design can more easily be
used in the multi-functional ways specified on the wrapper.
