One Size Doesn't Fit All 

When it comes to a neck tube that doubles as a face and head mask, our research revealed that head sizes can vary nearly as much as shoe sizes. In our real-world comparison of size and fit, participants tried on the three size options. Here are the results:

39% selected medium
46% picked large
15% chose X-large

If you've never worn a neck tube before, or had trouble finding a good fit, we offer excellent options with our four-way stretch fabric in three sizes. See "Size and Fit" chart in the tab above for more details.

How to measure (if you don't know your hat size)
Wrap a tape measure (or a string which you can measure while laying flat against a ruler) around your head, just above your ear.  Compare your measurement to the chart above. Because the four-way stretch fabric is forgiving, we suggest you select next size larger if your measurement is at or near the upper dimension.

UPF Chart

Protection	UPF Ratings	Approximate UV Blocked
Good UV Protection	15 - 24	93 - 96%
Very Good UV Protection	25 - 39	96 - 97%
Excellent UV Protection	40 - 50+	97 - 99%

UPF vs. SPF

UPF is an abbreviation for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. This rating system is used to measure the effectiveness of fabric to protect skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation. For example, a UPF rating of 40 will allow only 1/40th of the sun's harmful rays to penetrate the textile. A rating of 40 or higher is considered excellent, blocking 97 percent of both UVA and UVB rays.

SPF, typically associated with sunscreen, is short for Sun Protection Factor. This measurement determines the length of time it takes for redness to occur as result of sun exposure. If applied correctly, a sunscreen rated at SPF 15 will protect 15 times longer than unprotected skin. This amounts to approximately 93 percent of UVB rays. Some experts believe that no sunscreen should be expected to stay effective longer than two hours without reapplication. Sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB radiation is preferred.

UVA and UVB

Simply stated, UVA exposure contributes to premature aging by damaging the skin's elasticity. Perhaps 90 percent of wrinkles, age spots, and visible signs of aging occur as result of the sun's harmful UVA rays which penetrates the skin more deeply. The carcinogenic effects of UVB rays are believed to cause tanning which is the skin's natural defense against the sun. Unfortunately, it is believed that UVB contributes to the development of skin cancer.
