This protective and versatile headwear can also be worn as a face mask or to cover the entire head including the ears, but it extends way beyond the surrogate use as a mask.  It protects the head, neck, ears, forehead, and/or much of the face from exposure to heat and sun, as well as from the cold.

  • Made of Skin Cooler™ 90 fabric, it is a high-tech, non-absorbent, tightly knitted, stretchy fabric.
  • The thickness of the fabric is the same as the 1-ply mask. Fold it in half, the two layers become the same as as the 2-ply mask. Fold it in thirds the three layers become the same as the 3-ply mask.
  • Dimensions: 19.5" long with a circumference of 19"
  • Laying flat it is 19.5" long x 9.5" at the openings
  • It is reusable, machine washable and dry-able.  
  • It can be used for protection from the cold wind in cold climates, and from the heat and sun in hot climates.
  • Works well under any type of helmet.
  • Works well to protect the neck from sun and as rashguard around the neck.
  • 80% poly/20% elastane
  • Made in the USA, made in California, made in San Diego, made in our own building.

THE HEADTUBE WORKS WELL ON CHILDREN:  Simply use a piece of strapping that comes in the Mask Comfort Kit to tie a small knot in the upper back as shown in the photos below.

  

 

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:  Just like any other garment, we take careful measures to keep all products clean during production, but we always recommend you wash anything you ever buy first before wearing.  These are machine washable and dry-able, but better to hand wash and line dry.

DISCLAIMER: De Soto Sport makes no claim as to the level of protection.  This mask is not certified, as given unprecedented times, as we are simply doing our part to help stop the spread.  This is merely a mask made to provide a barrier and given the fabric and its properties, may fare better than certain CDC suggestions, such as a cotton bandana. This mask does meet all CDC and WHO guidelines.  We cannot and will not guarantee it will prevent any sort of illness or virus.  Please use at your own risk and personal protection. 

ALL SALES ARE FINAL: In accordance with California PPE imposed guidelines, we cannot accept any returns or exchanges.

    Good enough, tough to tuck into jersey

    I use this primarily as a sun-blocking balaclava for my ears and neck during rides in the always-intense Hawaii sun. It is a game-changing, 100% effective tool for this purpose. However, it doesn't tuck into a jersey neck as cleanly as the old "true" Desoto balaclava did.

    Awesome

    All around great. I picked up two and rotate them as face masks (I usually fold twice aka “double ply” but you can easily go triple here). Much preferred over standard masks due to functionality and honestly some bitching patterns don’t hurt.

    Head, Ear, Neck protection/cooling

    Cooler heads prevail with the HeadTube devise. I was looking for something to protect the back of my neck from the sun. I tried the head cooler tube since it extends down to the neck. This tube protects the neck, as well as, the ears and head. It also has the same cooing properties as other DeSoto products

    excellent so far

    I won't be using them until January 2022 when I go on a long frequently hot trip, but I trust they will be much appreciated. The company's service is the best that I have ever experience and I am 77.

    Skin Cooler HeadTube

    The skin cooler head tube is now my go to for riding my MTB or running the trails. It keeps my face cool and the temperature regulated so that I don't experience that warm, clammy feeling you get with cotton. I also use it when I am skiing.

    De Soto knocks it out of the park again

    This is a review of the Headtube, Face Mask, and De Soto in general. The Headtube is great - between my wife and I, we've probably got 10 of these. We use this for outdoor exercise when we want to easily remove the mask when we're not near others, but be able to quickly pull it back up when necessary. We usually fold it in half for a 2-ply mask. I've used a few other tubes from other companies - the De Soto ones are much better because they don't stink and the smooth fabric doesn't get all wrapped up in itself. When the shutdown first hit in the US and they started recommending masks (remember early April 2020?), I ordered a bunch of the face masks. It was important to us that we support good companies during these challenging times, and I have loved the Tuesday run short for over 20 years. I'm not sure how much research Emilio and the team did, but clearly they did - this is not a company that just wings it. Instead of just doing a single layer face mask, they did 3 layers. You want over the ear (my wife) or over the head (me) - it can do it. You want to put in a filter - it does it. My point is that even with all the changing guidance, the face masks are still meeting the recommended guidance - no need to wear 2 masks when you've been wearing a 3-ply mask. Thanks to De Soto for keeping us safe - looking forward to another 20+ years of great things!

    Great!

    I got a mask and head tube and they’re both great. The mask is great for working out and I always wear the head tube on hikes where it serves multiple purposes. Great products!!!

    The Skin Cooler Headtube

    This headtube has provided the necessary "mask" during this Pandemic. It is quite comfortable and easy to pull up to serve as mask.

    I own a lot of De Soto masks!

    Not only do I own various styles of De Soto masks, but I think I’ve influenced a dozen or so friends to buy De Soto masks. They are great for an active lifestyle, wash easily and look great.
