@cindiwass You ask a good question and l certainly see a lot of neck scarves and bandanas being used as face masks. One doctor said, they’re not as good at preventing the spread of droplets, but if you are good at wearing it, and following social guidelines, then it’s good enough. The best face mask/bandana/scarf/gaiter/etc is one that you’ll use! There is no easy answer, just wear it!

Hi. The article I read about gaiter masks really didn't explain anything about why they were not as good as other masks. I'm not talking about the effectiveness or lack thereof. Or droplets, etc. I'm talking about the material or structure and why they're not as good as whatever other masks there are. Same with bandanas. (It's not making sense yet to me.) And here I just bought my first gaiter mask. -- but haven't used it yet -- I made masks from the sleeves of stretchy shirts. I cut off the sleeves and cut holes in the piece and it matches the shirt. 🙂 Don't know how effective they are, but I like them and I wear them. And the patterns are nice. 🙂 Usually they're doubled over so I get maybe (?) more protection, but I am thrilled as soon as I get out of the store to take it off and breathe whatever air there is.
