It is becoming colder in my city lately. Ber months makes us feel this way. Having turtle neck sleeves, it seems a good idea not to use a face mask. It is an option if I don't have any face masks. Am I having a weird thought about this? What do you think? Image Credit: img5.cfcdn.club

I like that hoodie with a mask. It will blend with a good outfit in public.

I'm actually looking for a hoodie with a mask. No luck yet. Found one but it was too expensive for my blood.

@Shavkat I think it is a clever idea. Do you have to wear a face mask when teaching online?

I do not use a face mak when teaching. It will be a big complaint from my students online.

@Shavkat Don't you only need a facemask if you go outside into the world where others are?

No it is not a good idea, the fabric of a turtle neck sleeves do not protect against the virus. Check the list of the fabrics that can be used to make a mask.

I agree. I am sure it is not an ideal one. Covering the nose and moth is fine but with social distancing.

@LadyDuck We were asked to use face shield now. Well, we just need to follow them.

@Shavkat We are asked both to wear the mask and keep social distancing, wash our hands or use hand sanitizer if we cannot wash our hands.

A neck gaiter would be another option and it’s easy to wash.

I agree. It is a good option if there is no face mask available.

I am not sure about it. The best thing is to close one's mouth and nose when someone is sneezing or coughing. With this idea, social distancing needs to carry out.

It might be but you need to carefully pull it down to avoid touching under your chin when you're eating out. Or it will be like putting your mask under your chin kind of situation.

It will be troublesome to use it. Since I don't eat out during this pandemic, it will be fine only if during the cold weather.

I can't wear turttle neck but I would imagine it's uncomfortable. Kind of reminds me of an add for a face mask you wear around your neck and pull up as needed. From that compression company, gold something I hink.

I also had in mind that it can be irritating for the neck area. I am sure it will cause rashes if being used in hot weather.

That is a good idea but then, you will keep holding the turtle neck shirt.

I also think that it will not secure my nose and mouth with this. I cannot keep on holding it to be fixed on my face.

Will it fit? If so, maybe you can use that as an alternative if you forget to bring mask.

I got this idea when seeing a man this morning. He is wearing it and I assumed he doesn't have a face mask. I think it is a good alternative.

It's a good thought, but I don't think the material is good enough to filter the virus. But it's still better than nothing.

In case I do not have a face mask. Regardless, social distancing is needed when having it as an alternative.

I don't think so, surgical mask is the effective and right mask that everyone should be wearing. But you can also use that turtle neck but make sure you have your mask on underneath that clothes.

It might work if the turtle neck material is long enough. I might try it
