I have a longish beard and wear one to keep beard from flying up into my face, and to keep me from looking like that old prospector on many a John Wayne films (you know with the beard that sticks straight out) when I get off the bike.

 

Thanks to this article, I am going to throw out my full faced helmet and get a bandana instead.

 

Probably a state worker...

 

Only while robbing banks because I'm fashion orientated if doing such.

 

To protect my hairless head from sunburn.

 

I always wear one soaked in bug spray around my neck when I'm hiking or fishing.

 

There is a hairless head solution in post #6.

 

How about a Shemagh?

 

I'm confused...are we talking about a bandana or a doo rag? Some of the answers sound like either one.

 

So you will look authentic when you say"AAARRRR".....
