## ■A New Neck Cover Specification from the Standard BODY TOUGHNESS Series
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in 'sunburn protection for the nape' during activities under the blazing sun. On the other hand, the demand for hairbands is also continuously growing to reduce the discomfort of sweat dripping down the face.
Focusing on these two needs, this product was born from a novel idea: attaching a nape cover to a hairband. Designed not to interfere with wearing hats or helmets, it is specified to reduce sunlight on the back of the neck while simultaneously managing sweat.
