A couple of days ago -I ordered a package of four of these in an animal print from Amazon.  They arrived today.

Same print - sort of leopard/panther.  Adjustable ear elastics. Decorative edging.  Button closure behind neck.  Really well made with a pocket for a filter.

Interestng to see how they made these out of approx 17" scarf squares.  Ingenious!  

Cost me about $4 each.

I bought something like that for my pandemic souvenirs.  Very cheap.  They were four scarves with loops for the ears.

Mine were feminine, pale colors edged in lace.  

It's nice as a curiousity, but I wouldn't wear them in real life.  I want the real stuff to look decorative, not decorative stuff pretending to be useful.

It's a great idea/item.

Especially for bicycling, walking around outdoors, gardening out front, etc., etc. 

Nice wind breaker, too.

These appear to be useful AND decorative.  There's a sewn-in mask with a pocket for a filter. 

Basically - it's a square folded into a triangle with the mask sewn in the folded edge.  Clever construction.  Going to try it myelf on some of my scarves.

All my masks are decorative!

@ALRATIBA I have these.  They are physically present in my home.  If I was desperate, I would prefer a scarf I could arrange around my face.  My main complaint is they are verry thin polyester.  Hot in summer and it's still summer.

As I said, I am pleased to have them as a pandemic souvenir.

Can you specify the brand over at Amazon?  If you want to, that is.

I couldn't seem to find yours.

@ROMARY 

They are:

Brand: Uaussi

2 or 4 Pack Women Face Scarf Reusable Face Cover Mask with Filter Pocket Neck Gaiter - Ear Loops & Snap, No Filter Involved.

-----------------

I got the four pack animal print.

I am not sure if what you are talking about falls into a neck gaiter category but if you google neck gaiter vs face masks you can read many recent studies stating that a neck gaiter is not as effective as a face mask. I will leave it up to you to decide.

@Janey2 

Your are right that they are two separate things .... but if you read the description, a mask has been sewn into the neck gaiter.  

So you have an actual face mask with a filter pocket attached to a triangular scarf neck gaiter. 

It's a hybrid item.
