Benefits of technology

[0024]The present invention is very practical and provides asthetic protection of the face and neck while at the same time offering the wearer protection from breathing airborne dusts and pollutants. The invention accomplishes this dual protection by fastening a protective, disposable particle mask to the interior of the scarf with Velcro or other hook and loop fasteners.

Problems solved by technology

One major drawback to wearing the particle mask in public is that they don't look very stylish, and actually detract from a person's appearance.
The fashion and appearance conscious society that we are causes people not to wear the protective particle masks in public places due in part to embarrassment of one's appearance.
However, none of the patents suggest the use of a protective particle mask attached to the inside of the scarf.
