A skull bandana makes a great gift for bike riders. They come in many different styles and colors, and they just look cool. Here is what you need to know when buying, wearing and owning a skull with bandana.
How to Choose a Skull Bandana
Skull bandanas come in many assorted sizes, colors, and designs. When choosing a skull bandana keep in mind the fabric, the thickness, and of course the design. American Legend Rider offers skeleton bandanas and skullface bandanas in designs for both men and women.
Why Should A Skull Bandana Be Worn During Rides?
Bandanas are not only great at showing off the rider’s individual style, but they are also great for protecting the skin when worn on the face. Bandanas keep bugs from flying in the rider’s mouth. These face cloths also offer the rider’s skin protection from the sun and the wind.
When worn on top of the head, a skeleton bandana can prevent sunburn. While riding around all day, it’s easy to forget that the sun is beating down on top of the person’s head. It’s easy to get sunburnt, even if the rider has hair. A skeleton bandana can help prevent this common problem.
Some people choose to wear a skeleton bandana under their motorcycle helmets. This is great to help the helmet slide on and off easier without pulling hair. The bandana can also help absorb sweat under the helmet.
It’s also important to note that a high-quality skull with bandana is likely to offer a certain level of UV protection from the sun. For example, one common bandana offers SPF 50+ UV protection. This means that there is an added layer of sun protection, on top of what the basic bandana offers.
How to Tie a Skull Bandana
Even experienced riders may not know how to tie a skull bandana. There is actually an assortment of ways to tie one, each way offering a different look or showing off a different part of the bandana pattern.
One basic way to tie a skull bandana is to start by laying it flat in a square. Take the top right corner of the bandana and fold it down to the bottom left corn of the bandana. You should now have a three-point triangle shape.
Next, pick up the bandana and place it on the head with the top of the triangle pointed towards the back of the head. The flat folded edge should be across the forehead. Take the two points of the triangle and tie the skull bandana in a knot at the back of the head.
The bandana should feel comfortable without being too tight. Make sure it’s not pulling the hair, and that it’s not so loose that it’s going to fly off on a ride. Practice tying the bandana at home a few times in front of the mirror so that when it’s time to tie it in front of others it feels natural.
Those who feel like a tied bandana isn’t for them should look for one with a hook and loop closure. This takes all of the work out of tying a skull with bandana. Another option that may come in a tie free version is neck gaiters.
Are Skull Bandanas Just for Bikers?
While a skull with bandana is popular with bikers, lots of people sport these. Skull Bandanas are popular with fishermen, athletes, gym-goers, hunters, skiers, and many more. People wear them on ATVs and traditional bicycles too, not just on motorcycles.
Many people wear them for protection from the sun and the wind, while other people wear them just because they look cool. Construction workers are wearing skull bandanas on the job under their hardhats to soak up the sweat. In the winter, they are wearing the fleece-lined version to help them stay warm.
Even chefs are getting into the act and wearing skull bandanas. They are great at covering the hair and replacing the traditional hairnet. Thanks to the pandemic, some people are even wearing these as a face mask on a daily basis.
A High-Quality Skull Bandana Can Be Life Changing
In the past, most bandanas were of poor quality and paper thin. High-quality bandanas made specifically for bikers can change a biker’s life. As previously discussed, many now come with build in SPF and UV protection.
Today’s bandanas also come in an assortment of fabrics and thicknesses. If the rider is going to ride in cooler tempers, look for one lined with fleece. It will be oh so soft and extra warm.
