Design: Northern Eye’s neck tubes use genuine, fully licensed UK Ordnance Survey large-scale 1:25,000 mapping of key outdoor locations as attractive, full-colour artwork. Typical UK National Park and other locations include iconic mountains, peaks, lakes, islands and harbours. We also produce snoods with artwork based on historic and antique hand-drawn and etched maps and charts. We call these wearable maps, ‘Outdoor British map art’.
Northern Eye Books are official Ordnance Survey Partners, and all our snoods carry our company logo and unique OS license number.
NOTE:The mapping in the artwork is not intended for outdoor navigation; users are recommended to use purpose-made online or full sheet Ordnance Survey maps instead.
Uses:These high-quality, upmarket neck tubes or bandanas are ideal for all kinds of outdoor activities and sports, ranging from walking, hiking, dog walking, running, jogging, horse riding, cycling, scrambling and climbing, to camping, caravanning, fishing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, skiing, snowboarding and motorcycling. The smart, attractive, genuine OS map artwork also makes them ideal for everyday wear.
Material: Northern Eye’s seamless tubular snoods are made from a super stretchy, silky smooth, breathable mix of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane. The snoods use a premium technical Lycra microfibre that is hypoallergenic and non-chafing. They are comfortable to wear all year round, too: warm and windproof in winter and cool and UV protective in summer.
The material is strong, durable and colourfast. It is also washable and reusable. Wash at low temperatures only. Not suitable for ironing.
Size:The tubular snoods are a standard 50cm x 25cm. They are made of a handy, elastic material, which means one size fits almost everyone. They are the perfect choice for both men and women with a head circumference of between 48-60cm.
Ways to wear:This good-looking multi-functional headwear is extremely versatile and can be worn in many different ways. Functional uses include neck warmer, bandana, snood, scarf, face mask, dust mask, headband, sweatband, wristband, beanie, headwrap, hair tie, yoga band, pirate cap and balaclava – or even a dog scarf or bandana.
Ultralight and packable:The neck tubes are made of a durable, washable and colour-fast Lycra material that weighs just 200 grams per square metre. Which means the snoods are both lightweight and packable and will fit easily into a pocket or bag when not being worn.
Wind- and dustproof:The tightly woven neck tube is windproof, dustproof and sandproof — warm in winter and cool in summer.
Moisture-wicking: The neck gaiters, neck tubes or snoods are moisture wicking, meaning they quickly draw sweat and dampness away from your skin, keeping you dry, non-sticky, and comfortable even in poor conditions.
Sun protection:The snood’s tight, fine technical weave helps protect wearers from sun exposure and skin damage. With a SPF/UPF of 50+, the silky-smooth material blocks over 95% of the sun’s rays. What’s more, depending on how the snood is worn, it can protect the head, face, neck and ears.
