I tried bandanas. Perhaps I'm just fussy, but I had a hard time keeping them from slipping down.
In the event, I ordered a Buff synthetic gaiter on the recommendation of someone onlist. Buff has a bewildering plenty of colors and patterns, and I fretted about choosing one that will go with all of my outfits. (And that doesn't make me look fat.) But I decided, what the hell, let's get one that doesn't go with anything, so ordered bright orange. (Well, it will go with the bright orange bar tape on my Matthews Road Bike For Dirt. I read the CDC stricture against fleece, but didn't see them frowning and shaking their fingers at synthetics knits like the Buffs.
