I originally bought this because I have an outdoor job, and it gets hot in the summer. I needed something to block sun, wipe sweat, handkerchief duty, etc. The insect repellency wasn't a big selling point for me, and I felt like a bit of a tool spending so much money on a square piece of cloth.

Jump forward a few weeks. I'm setting up to go mountain biking. The heat is out, and experience has taught me the flies come along with it; especially on those long, exposed fireroad climbs where the challenge becomes less to ascend the grade than to keep the flies out of your throat. I tied it over my head and under my helmet and set off.

The bandana did its duties. It soaked up the sweat decently, and kept the flies away from my face. Those flies that did land usually did so on my arm, and then only for a second. Cool.
