Not Just a Bandana

I worked in kitchens most of my life and have worn my share of bandanas. Cheap ones make your head sweat and stink. The first time I put on the Wazoo bandana I was in love. So comfortable you barely know it’s there. Lighter than a hat, doubles as a mushroom bag if you’re in a pinch. Looks sharp and unique. I like to carry at least two with me in the field in case I need to cover my neck with one for sun or bugs. Buy a bunch for yourself, then get more for friends as they’re a great gift too.

Not what’s advertised

You’d expect it to have a net as it says it does on the Facebook ad, my belt was also shipped incomplete. I just ordered a sharpener and I hope it will be up to par because right now I’m astronomically disappointed in the false advertising of this company.

Foraging Bandana

So thx for asking my thoughts on the bandana. The material is thin. I use a bandana for protection from the sun and soak up perspiration. For the price point I expected a little more. I love my Viking Spark necklace. Worth every cent.
