Dave –
I bought this for first aid but now I actually use it as a sweat band under my hard hat. The muslin material is more absorbent than a regular cotton-poly bandana, so it is my go-to sweat-catcher these days. Split it in half so one’s around my head and the other is in my hardhat suspension. When one gets soaked, I put it around my neck and put the other one on, then switch them out for the rest of the day. I am getting another one just because the first turned out to be so handy.
