Check out our top seven ways to effectively use your bandana
Protect your face from the elements
Bandanas first and foremost, offer excellent protection from the elements. Whether you’re covering your face to protect your skin from harsh winds and cold temperatures, or covering your head to protect from the burning heat of the sun, a bandana is a great choice. Another way to use one is as a face covering. The versatility of a bandana caters to situations thrown at you.
Wick away sweat
Bandanas with clever moisture-wicking fabrics and materials not only protect you from the sun itself but help keep your face dry and your temperature cool. Prevent sweat dripping down your forehead and into your eyes right at that opportune moment when you need your vision to be on point.
Keep your hair out of your eyes
As well as stopping sweat, tuck your hair into a head tied bandana style and you can keep your hair from blowing down and limiting your vision.
Camouflage into your surroundings
If you’re a serious hunter, then don’t hesitate to try this out. Camouflage style bandanas are an excellent companion for hunting, fishing, and any tactical shooting games such as paintball. With the right custom bandana design, you can ensure your face and neck blend seamlessly into your surroundings to always keep the upper hand.
Employ as a bandage in an emergency
You never know when something could go wrong. All you can really do is prepare for all situations to ensure you’re not the one that is caught out at the worst possible moment. If you don’t have sterile bandages or ties on hand, a fresh bandana from your pack can come in real handy during first aid.
Use as a makeshift heat mitt
In case you are in the backcountry, it forces you to think outside the box and using a bandana as a heated mitt when you’re sitting around the fire preparing food is something to consider. Holding hot pans or mugs is made easier with a bandana wrapped around your hands a few times in order to prevent burns.
Create a makeshift separator in your bag
You never know when you’re going to need to separate items within your bag and using a bandana to wrap items works well. Lay your bandana flat on the ground, place your items on top and wrap them with a tie from the corners to help keep things separate.
