Compared to the UV gaiter I was using before, these gaiters actually feel cool on the skin. And the seems aren't noticeable when I'm wearing them. Pretty good with the sale price too.

Golf Under the Sun

Use it primarily to play golf walking and works great. Very comfortable and stays dry.

Best option for my sailboat life so far

I bought this a couple years ago and have started using it more actively again as a two part face shield from another company seemed to be letting UV through (my face felt a little burnt after all day use) - to keep this one from sliding down I have to pull it up enough that the back is tucked into my hat. In hot humid coastal mexico summer weather it is completely soaked with sweat but it keeps the sun out better than sunscreen and doesn't come off of my face like sunscreen does. I wear it all day walking around towns and on my boat when in the sun.

Slip sliding away

The fabric is very slippery. If you want to be able to pull it up over your chin, or wear it over your head and forehead, this is not for you. If you're just planning on wearing around you neck it will be fine.

Sun safe NM

Please please use tagless tags. Have to cut the tags out then the little stub scratches neck! Please add more colors and patterns, your masks patterns are great!

First time user very impressed

Comfortable enough for all day wear. My first time using a gaiter and my friends are telling me I am having too much fun! Face shield, sun shield, horse fly shield...this gaiter does it all easily. Quick and easy to clean, ready to go for every day if necessary.

Even worse customer service

You refused to publish my accurate, polite and critical review because you only want good feedback. That is very disappointing and suggests a lack of authenticity in your reviews.

Poor Service

Ordered goods over 3 weeks ago - still not received. Emailed about shipping 3 times without reply. Company happy to take $132 but appears unwilling to supply or have the courtesy to communicate.

Didn't work for me

Won't stay up. Adult women with medium sized head. Wore it with the thought that I wouldn't need to apply sunscreen, but it kept slipping down. Got a little burned. I was wearing my favorite Sunday Afternoons safari hat over it. I have several of those hats. 5 stars for the hats!

Fast delivery and great quality products!

Just wish it was longer in front to cover more of the décolletage area- otherwise great! I Love Sunday afternoon!!

Great year round

Love Sunday afternoon! Fast delivery and top quality products. I gave 4 stars because I wish the gaitor was longer in front so as to cover(or partly cover) the décolletage area. Otherwise, great, year round!!

Nice and soft

It tends to slide off my face when I wear it as a face guard.
