Protective leather, or like material, face and neck bandana with interchangeable, two-ply flannel, or like material, liner attached with snap pressure closures
Abstract A protective face cover that can act as a neck warmer or a bandana to protect the cheeks and nose from cold, wind and dust, fumes and sand when recreating with fast moving open vehicles or sports. Two separate items join to form one as in an outer piece, wind and waterproof fabric or leather, and an inner, changeable, washable soft cloth as flannel or polar fleece liner. A simple triangular shape is joined behind the neck by means of snaps, stressing the use of snaps rather than any Velcro fastenings. Snaps are also used to join the liner to the outer piece. The liner is washable, & lightweight, so spare liners can be carried to replace wet or soiled liners. The liner is engineered for utmost comfort by having two layers, the snaps placed on one layer and the other layer then attached by sewing so the snaps do not come in contact with the face. The item is also designed to be aesthetically pleasing.
