I bought these to tuck under my hat to protect from the sun. I work on a farm so I needed something to cover my neck and ears and I didn't need a fancy hat or anything so I bought this. They are a lot thinner than I expected, they definitely won't protect well as they are. I sew the same ones together to make them thicker, looks like they're working pretty well now. Size wise they are perfect for what I use them for and comfortable enough not to irritate my skin during my 8.5 hour day on the farm.
