Headband, scarf or hood?
Compare the fabric, coverage and intended use of each design.

Keep hair back, add coverage or complete your waterwear with snorkelling headbands, scarves and hoods. Choose the style for your activity, then check its material and fit with the mask and clothing you plan to wear.

Keep hair and fabric clear of the mask’s sealing surface.
Check the exact hood’s material, thickness and fit guidance.
A stretch headband can help hold hair away from your face. Tube-style scarves offer different ways to arrange the fabric, while hoods provide more coverage around the head and neck. Fabric, thermal and neoprene designs have different construction and intended uses, so compare the individual product details.
Keep hair and fabric clear of the mask’s silicone sealing surface. Check the position of the mask strap and headwear together, following the fitting guidance for both products. A headband does not replace a correctly fitted mask or solve every leak.
Read the specific model’s fabric, thickness and any stated sun-protection rating. Do not assume every item provides the same insulation or protection. Stretch and one-size labels are guides to the available fit, so check measurements and adjustment details, especially when buying for a child or as a gift.
