Face Scarfs vs Face Masks 😷
Face Scarfs vs Face Masks

Are you in the market for face scarfs or Face masks and cant decide what one to go for? Here we compare the two different face coverings for you.

Comfort and Breathability: 

Comfort and Breathability all depend on the following factors:

  • The material used.
  • Structure of the face covering.

Current face masks 

Due to COVID-19 there are many face masks now available on the market, however, most of them are very uncomfortable and made of a cheap cotton material which can be itchy when wearing for long periods of time.

They can often not fit correctly, by either being too small for the face or being too tight that it’s hard to breathe. 


Face scarf 

When it comes to comfort and breathability a soft nylon face scarf wins every time, the nylon x spandex material is stretchy and can adapt to any face structure, face scarfs naturally fit close to the face. Nylon is lightweight and cool which offers easy breathability even on the warmest of days. 

Face scarfs offer UV protection and can also protect you against, Sand, Wind, Dust and more. 

As well as materials, comfort, and breathability, the soft face scarfs can be used as a fashion accessory and can be worn over 11 ways.

 Face masks can look very intimidating and medical oriented.  


Versatility 

Face masks can lack in versatility compared to face scarfs, you can use the face scarfs for a number of day to day tasks and activities such as the following: 

  • Traveling to work 
  • Motorcycling
  • Shopping 
  • Skiing
  • Snowboarding
  • Cycling
  • Climbing
  • Running
  • Hiking
  • fishing 
  • and more.

 


Face Scarfs can be used a variety of ways 

Get more for your money, what’s better than getting one product that can be used in multiple different ways, you can use a face scarf in the following ways: 

  1. Face Covering
  2. Bandana
  3. Neck Gaiter 
  4. Wristband
  5. Eskimo
  6. Balaclava 
  7. Do-Rag
  8. Pirate 
  9. Beanie
  10. Head Band
  11. Ponytail

Washing and Reusability 

Most cheap face masks don’t wash well, it will be more than likely you will have to buy a new one as soon as you wash it which doesn’t feel you with a lot of confidence.

Face scarfs can be washed via the washing machine on a cold wash approx. 104°F/40°C or on a cool hand wash. Do not iron or tumble dry the face scarf. Leave it to hang and drip dry.

  • Easy to Clean Face Scarf

Medical Protection 

When it comes to medical protection face masks are well known but this does not mean that they protect you. if it fits incorrectly then hazadous particles in the air can easily enter your airways.

Face scarfs adapt to any face structure meaning that it always covers your whole mouth, nose and neck and stops you from breathing in any hazadous particles in the air. 


Conclusion 

when it comes to a face coverings its obvious face scarfs have better perks then face masks and they are alot more comfortable, however if you prefer to wear masks then we recommend you stick to disposable face masks which are one time use, please ensure you dispose of these correctly.
