Ok, maybe I was overseas too long. What's a head tube?

Old Sailor, that's a really neat contraption you came up with.

Buff makes a tubular cloth that is highly UV resistant 95% protection, breathable and wicks moisture away when you sweat. It's very popular with the fishermen in FL but its used for a lot more than just them.

All I can say is check it out buffusa.com

There are those that may get a chuckle out of it since your not on the flats guiding but I never remember to bring sunscreen and don't want to risk any further damage not to mention could care less what they might think. :D

I guarantee you've seen them. They have been used by men and women on the tv show Survivor for a long time.

These things?

The headwear tube can be used not just to keep the sun off your neck but also wind off your neck/ears when pulled over a cap, neck warm in a breeze, up over your mouth when riding in the boat to keep bugs out of your face or rain and can be dipped in cool water and worn as a headband or around neck when hot. Lots of uses other than just for sun. I believe its well worth the $24.
