Neck Gaiter

Neck Gaiter Versus Mask

Outdoor sports enthusiasts and athletes may prefer to use neck gaiters over masks because they serve the dual purpose of protecting from the elements and stopping the spread of the virus causing COVID-19. These athletes may also like that a neck gaiter can be worn in other ways (e.g. as a beanie or bandana) at, say, the race track where people are far apart.

Another advantage over masks are that neck gaiters don’t need to be constantly taken off and put back on — when the neck gaiter isn’t needed, it can be simply pulled down to sit around the neck. Also, when worn correctly, neck gaiters cover the sides of the face fully, which could be more protective than some masks that are loose around the sides. 

And since it is being required across states & businesses... why not represent for some head-nods while out & about.
