Versatility.  That’s what I like about these two products.  

I am always wearing some kind of headwear to keep my long hair from blowing all over my face.  Usually, it’s a hat – but when the hat comes off, I like to have something to keep my hair in place.  The Turtle Fur products satisfy this need perfectly – more so than similar products from competitive brands.

The secret is in the fabric that Turtle Fur uses for both of these tubes:  it has the right amount of elasticity to be worn comfortably in different configurations (see pictures).  Even after washing a few times, I noticed that the fabric maintained its softness and elastic characteristics (please remember to wash in cool water and hang dry or dry flat, for best results).

The Turtle Fur Comfort Shade Tube boasts a UPF of 50+, and so will provide ultimate protection for your neck when worn as a gaiter.  It’s also flexible enough to pull up higher for ear and neck protection without strangling you!  Finally, you can soak it for extra cooling as needed!

The Turtle Fur Comfort Ice Tube also provides sun protection (UPF 35) but is a smoother, slicker and cooler fabric than the Shade Tube.  It has micro perforations to enhance breathability, and it actually feels cool when you put it on!  It can be worn in all the same configurations as the Shade Tube, but is a slightly snugger fit – and, due to the slickness of the fabric, is a little more likely to slide off your hair vs the Shade Tube.  Like the Shade Tube, it excels for cooling when wet, due to the quick dry characteristics of these fabrics.  For hot summer days, the cooling and sun protection of both of these products is a must for me.
