This Head Scarf works well for protection from the sun & wind. Had to go to YouTube to get instructions on how to tie it off. There are many ways, but the traditional seems to be the best. The color selection allows one to choose what will work for their needs. This is a thin cotton weave, so it's poor for sub-zero use. Absorbs sweat well, but you must hand wash it every other day or the cotton will rot from the salted sweat. The price is good & quality is good. It would make a good head wrap for the protesters, but it works better when worn for a long work day in truck garden.
