      Comments about Cotton Bandana:

      I selected REI to purchase 10 cotton bandanas because it said product was made in the U.S.A. Eight that I received were made in the U.S.A. the other 2 (Hunter Green and Kahki were made in CHINA). I checked on-line and it states item is made in the U.S.A. The quality is poor and was not cut correctly so it is not a perfec square. BEWARE!

          Comments about Cotton Bandana:

          I use bandanas constantly, and these used to be a great deal; good quality, [...]bandanas. Now REI has switched over to[...] bandanas, and they are poor quality. The material seems thinner and the stitching is definitely not as good. And I may be wrong, but it seems the dye is not as good either. I have stopped buying them at REI; I used to buy about a dozen a year.Please change back to your old supplier, I would gladly pay a few bucks more for better quality, [...] bandanas!!!

              Comments about Cotton Bandana:

              A bandana is the outdoorsman's #1 necessity. It isnt bulky like a hat yet can still keep sun off your head. It can be used to filter air in dusty trail conditions. It can be used to prefilter any dirty water. A simple bandana can be used to save a life if need-be. Plus its super lightweight, affordable, compactible, and generally useful. I always keep one in my jeep.

                Comments about Cotton Bandana:

                This could be possibly one of the most important Backpacking tools, why?

                1. While damp it can be used to lower temperature on a hot day by wrapping a damp bandana around the neck it helps cool the neck and artery blood flow, which keeps you more comfortable.

                2. To mask face from breathing dust

                3. A clean bandana can be used to clean a wound

                These are but a few of the many many uses for a simple humble bandana.

                      I ordered a few more of these lately, thinking that they would be identical to the ones previously purchased a couple years back, but was very disappointed to discover that they are no longer made in the USA, but in China. Very disappointed.

                        There isn't a whole lot to say, it's a bandana! Can use it to filter dust out of air you are breathing, attach a splint to a limb, dress a wound (if it's clean), and so much more. It weighs practically nothing and costs less, no reason not to have a few of these in your pack.

                          These are amazing for hot weather activity, especially for those with longer hair! I can not believe how much more comfortable these make a run or hike out here in AZ, and tell my friends that the best peice of gear I own was only [$]. A multitude of uses as well when you set up camp for the evening for backpacking as well.

                            I use these for just about anything. I try to get a new one once a year and I use them in almost every sport I participate in. They're great to have on the bike trail when it gets dusty, on a hiking trail to keep the sweat out of your eyes and off your face, and just about anywhere else.

                            Always have a couple of these in your pack just in case, you never know when you will need to wrap an ankle or tie something up. MacGyver would be proud.
