How to use: Put the gaiter around your neck. If it's very cold, use the elastic drawcord to cinch it for more warmth. When needed, you can transform it into a facemask or a beanie. Just fold and adjust it according to your needs. For off - bike times or extra protection under your helmet, convert it to a beanie. Notes: Avoid over - stretching the gaiter as it may damage the elastic drawcord and the fabric. When wearing it as a facemask, make sure it fits well to get the best protection. Maintenance: Wash it in cold water with mild detergent. Don't use bleach. After washing, let it air dry. Avoid high - heat drying as it may shrink the wool blend fabric.
