I don't know where it's gotten to. It's serious sun protection... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utilitarian-neckerchiefs-for-sun-protection#post-1676703 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 21:50:44 +0000 unfrumped 1676703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eyes are opened!

They're UV-protective, wicking, come in a million patterns, and they work as hairbands or hats in a pinch. I have four of these and I wear them all the time for hiking, gardening, and working out. I wrap them around my wrists when I don't need them on my neck, and have even used one to hold on ice packs for my son after he broke his wrist. Truly multifunctional.</p> <p>I can't collect these to a Find from Amazon because they're under sporting goods rather than apparel, but the full line is at:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://buffusa.com">http://buffusa.com</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utilitarian-neckerchiefs-for-sun-protection#post-1676661 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 21:07:03 +0000 unfrumped 1676661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I&nbsp; might be able to have my cake and....</p> <p>Perhaps a core of inexpensive white hanky-types for a ready supply, and if I find a few classic cotton bandanas in one or more of my fave colors or to coordinate with my garden gear--I'll be&nbsp;stylin'! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utilitarian-neckerchiefs-for-sun-protection#post-1676649 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:58:04 +0000 Aida 1676649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love that these are 100% cotton! They dry out sooo quickly for handkerchief use (tears etc. ), yet work equally well fully wetted on the neck for cooling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utilitarian-neckerchiefs-for-sun-protection#post-1676648 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:57:59 +0000 JAileen 1676648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have old bandanas that I use for this reason. If they're all cotton, they seem to get softer every time they're washed. When it's hot I also get them wet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utilitarian-neckerchiefs-for-sun-protection#post-1676644 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:54:57 +0000 unfrumped 1676644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you may be right. 16" especially on the diagonal should work. And I <u>did</u> mean utilitarian and easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utilitarian-neckerchiefs-for-sun-protection#post-1676638 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:47:41 +0000 Aida 1676638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the handkerchiefs my husband have are certainly large enough to wear as a neckerchief. <a href="http://www.target.com/p/merona-men-s-6pk-handkerchiefs-white/-/A-14371262" rel="nofollow">These gauzy white ones</a> he's got would be especially good for what you're describing Unfrumped, and I bet would look cute to boot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utilitarian-neckerchiefs-for-sun-protection#post-1676634 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:40:32 +0000 unfrumped 1676634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After all the fun posts on stylish neckerchiefs, I realized a "wardrobe hole" is for&nbsp; &nbsp; plain, cotton, sun protective gear-type neckerchief,&nbsp;as I may be spending more time outside this summer.</p> <p>Probably white, for&nbsp; &nbsp;light reflection,&nbsp;but could be colored, but need ease of laundering/no bleeding, big enough but not too big, thin and soft like fine cotton lawn, &nbsp;neckerchief for sun protection while gardening, especially. I <u>do</u> wear sunscreen but still worry about neck and gap in shirt even with my long-sleeved collared shirt, hate to reapply, etc. I was thinking if it were cotton and very loosely tied or wrapped and it could be removed easily when I moved from sunny area to shade, available in multiples as I'm sure it should be fresh each day!</p> <p>I think the standard men's hanky is not quite big enough but perhaps there are oversized ones? </p> <p><u>So</u>&nbsp; not a fashion statement, but functional and comfortable.</p> <p>Ideas and experiences appreciated! </p>
