(2,025 posts)I have a couple of that style, though not with as fun a graphic. The sleeves are super cool, comfortable, and washable. I don't care if they want to wear cute graphics, as long as they wear the mask. We'll all eventually be wearing masks like bumper stickers by sometime in 2021 when it's safe to go out without one.

(5,643 posts)I am kind of a weird 60 year old who has been semi-fascinated with the macabre since I was a very young man sneaking into horror films in the 60's. Granted, I have no penchant for actual horror, blood, etc...but fake film horror has made me curious for a long time.
I saw that mask on several sites and almost purchased it, but my wife stopped me. The saner head won out.
I still fantasize about wearing something like that in order to put off the Texas assholes who I know will come at me in a few months when I am still masking up.
For now, I just have a plain black mask. That will have to do.

(32,748 posts)It has nothing to do with Covid-19, they just have masks to intimidate people or to look badass on their bikes. Now that Covid happened, they're using the masks for that too.

(1,242 posts)sleeve on inside for pm 2.5 filter to be slipped in . I prefer to wear gaiter , balaclava . Lots of 3D prints to pick from and choose . I do not consider the OP picture of gaiter to be intimidating at all . Yes , I have and wear different types .
Not all of the biker masks have the "scary face" image, most of them are entirely different. I see them on Amazon all the time. I think my point is that these scarves and bandannas were being used long before the Covid-19 was upon us.

(14,856 posts)Plain black, though. Don't care to sport the skeleton-look to be "cool" or whatever.
I have an N95-grade mask (in addition to surgical masks), but they have one-way valves to let my breath escape unhindered.
I couldn't be inconsiderate enough to wear it in public, with my own breath going everywhere. I'll try the neck gaiter over it.
The gaiter is supposed to have "cooling" properties too, which I always need in the Summer. Already have some cooling skull caps (like scrub caps) that help cool my head.

(22,797 posts)you take care not to drag the exposed sides/surface of the fabric across your face and eyes or you'll risk spreading the virus all over your face and in your hair.
You must carefully fold the outer surface in on itself as you doff it and launder in hot soapy water before you don it again.
Better yet, get two and you'll have one at the ready while the other is laundered. ❤ lmsp
