VANCROWN Headband Neck Gaiter Head Wrap Headwear Face Mask Magic Scarf Bandana for Men and Women

I actually saw a woman at an art show wearing something like this as a beautiful headband, which she said she got from REI. I did look them up and decided to check on Amazon. I was able to get 6 of these for a great price and about half of what one from REI would cost. They arrived and they are all beautiful!! I highly recommend if youa re looking for a versatile headband, neck wrap and however else this can be worn.

A friend turned me onto gaiters when I lost all my hair to chemo. These are soft, warm, UV protecting and fun to wear different ways. I love the designs and colors and they are easy to care for.

I bought these as headbands because thinner ones slip off my head too easily. I wasn't expecting much and just decided to take a shot.. They work great so far as headbands, but I need some hours in the garden to really put them to the test. The cosmic prints are cute with versatile color combinations and the material is thin and very stretchy. I'm not impressed by the raw edges of the material, but unless it frays or falls apart, they should work fine for my purposes. I'll report back if there are issues with laundering or wear. Do be aware that they're not a high-quality presentation / finish or print job.

Probably the best $11 I've ever spent! Okay, so that might be a bit of hyperbole, but seriously, these unassuming, versatile tubes of colorful knit polyester fabric added an inordinate amount of joy to my last backpacking trip in mid-May. Background: I am an avid hiker and backpacker here in the Four Corners region of the US, and one of the things I never leave home without is a bandana. They are useful, but a bit lacking, so my search for something better brought me to this product on Amazon, which sounded great, and at that price, totally worth taking a chance on. Order arrived on the day promised and in time for my trip. Each band arrives neatly folded in its own plastic baggie, and there is even a little info sheet regarding the testing of the material, dyes and care for these - unreal! Anyway, they are as described in the product description: seamless tubes, un-hemmed and out of a soft knit fabric that's an ideal weight: not too thick, and not too thin. I bought the blue set of 6, and the patterns are even better than the picture shows. Anyway, on my 4-night, 5-day trip, this exceeded my expectations: so comfortable, and I literally did not take it from the time my sun hat came off to the time I put it back on the next day. Folded over once, it kept my ears covered (and helped to keep out the No-See-Um gnats that are the bane of spring here in canyon country) and my hair out of my face. At night, I slept in it, using it as a blindfold of sorts to keep out the bright light of the full moon. Later towards the end of the trip as a storm was rolling through the region, it alternated between a light neck warmer and ear band. It's hard to imagine something so small could improve the quality of my backpacking trip as much as it did, but it really did. In future trips, I'll now use it as a neck gaiter while hiking to keep the sun off my neck...and if it's hot, just soak it. The bandana will still come along, and be relegated to one of its original and best uses: a snot rag ;). Also, I threw it in the washer and dryer, and it laundered like a champ. I threw one in my gym bag to wear, and it worked better than my hand-crocheted headband to keep my hair out of my face, and another I have to wear when I'm cooking and baking to keep hair from getting into my food (even finding my own hair in my food grosses me out). So, yeah - this product gets 5 stars and two thumbs' up from me! If they ever make a set in purples, I'll buy them in a flash. Another note: I wear glasses, and I personally did not find the band to be so tight with the glasses that it caused a headache, and I have had that happen before with other hats/headbands. If you have an exceptionally large cabbage and the arms of your glasses are thick, I suppose it could be an issue. However, it's easy enough to fold the fabric up or twist it so it's not encapsulating your ears.

I wear one of these every time I work out. They look great. They are soft and stretchy, large, and can be folded, rolled, tucked anyway you want. They also keep my ear buds in any soak ups lot of sweat. I wash them with the rest of my clothes and the color, stretch, and size hold up well.

My disappointment boils down to the fabric itself. I knew they weren't hemmed .. that was OK. BUT the fabric is not colored all the way through --- and the surface of it is "slickery". It's not T-shirt fabric .. it is a double-knit-ish that is very slick so (1) it slides around on my head (2) it does not "stack" but slides loose. OK I bought them to wear it with a high ponytail .. the edges aren't hemmed ..that's OK ... it has no seams (its a tube) so thats OK ..BUT the inside of the tube is white --- the color/pattern doesn't go through. SO .. intending to be able to cuff it around my face ... it will be a white cuff contrasting against the color/pattern - OR- you need to fold under enough of the tube so that when you cuff it --- it doesn't show the white underside. OK -- that's doable. But the sliding around my head makes me crazy. With a t-shirt fabric tube .. I put my hair in a high pony, put the tube on.. gather it around the elastic at the op of my head and hold it with a tiny clear elastic band.. pull some of the top fabric out and it "ruffles" the top edge around the top of the pony (and hides the elastic holding the pony)....then I cuff it around my face and "stack" or hand pleat the leftover fabric on top of the cuff ...and GO! That's it. With these --- because they are "slickery" ... they need frequent adjusting as they slide around on my head and also the hand-pleats slide loose and then the top looks loose and goofy. NOT what I was after. Had I known it was this type of fabric, I would not have ordered them. Now, does this affect wearing them around my neck --- No... but that's not why I bough them. For me ... they don't suit my purpose.

So colorful and comfortable to wear. I wear them only as neck gaiter. So many colors to wear with everything!

Loved these for the summer time. They are a little too much material if you only want a head band. It can cover your neck, face and head. Lol. But wait... I cut them in half and made two of each color and both sides were still long enough to cover my whole head. Soooo worth the money my niece got the other half in each color.a She got 6 great headbands for the summer. They are thin and gently stretchy so you don't get hot or a headache from having them on. They wash and dry fantastic.
