I have used bandannas in the past, but never as much as I would like because I always had difficulty tying them in a way that kept them on my head. This solves my problems with ease! I use this to keep the hair/sweat out of my eyes when I am fencing or running, or as a light scarf if it is a little chilly out, or just a handy handkerchief for cleaning my glasses. I have not had to deal with a lot of dust while running yet, so I cannot say how well it works as a make-shift face mask, but I would pick one of these over a traditional bandanna any day.

I plan on buying more of these in the future, and you should too if you like hiking or camping or running or really any activity in which you might want a head band.
