Just try it....
Took a cowl over for a friend.
Asked her silver-haired, bike-riding, ultra marathon-running (100k) husband if he’d wear one - he just spluttered.
So I asked him to try it on -
within less than a minute HE was explaining to me in great technical detail why this was the perfect item for all of his outdoor pursuits.
Honestly, much more practical for active guys than a scarf - if only you can get them to try….
For snow clearing: it can be pulled up over the face
For wood-cutting: no danger of it getting caught in the chainsaw
Some of the guys like a closer-fit, so I added a tighter “guy” size.
Sizes ladies might like are included too.
Many thanks to the testers (and their male models ☺):
