Description

Our Mask Head Strap is compatible with all of our Face Mask designs — it allows you to transform our face masks into dual-function masks that can secure behind the head or behind the ears. It’s a reusable, comfortable, and high-quality solution that won’t slip off.

Worth noting: we use a soft, comfortable ear loop material for our Face Masks that won't cause ear discomfort like scratchy elastic will. If ear comfort is your primary reason for wanting to wear a mask behind the head instead, we'd recommend giving the ear loops of our Face Masks a try — you may find you don't need the Mask Head Strap!

Our Mask Head Strap is made with soft, comfortable, high-quality synthetic suede. It’s available in one size that fits all. It has snaps on either side — simply open the snaps, tuck the ear loop of your mask between the suede and the snap, and close the snap. Repeat on the other side with the other ear loop. The ear loops should now be secured in the Mask Head Strap. Place the mask on your face and use your hands to place the Mask Head Strap behind your head; make sure that the lanyard of the mask is behind your head instead of around your neck. To care for your Mask Head Strap, machine wash in a mesh laundry bag or hand wash and line dry.

Will our Mask Head Strap work with masks made by other manufacturers? It’s possible. Here’s a photo of a friend of ours who is a nurse who is wearing it with a surgical mask — she was one of the first folks to test the Mask Head Strap and reports: “It’s a game changer because I have to wear eye protection all day and that can interfere with the ear loops of the surgical masks I wear. It’s amazing and everyone I work with wants one! Also, the red marks behind my ears from the painful elastic are going away.”

Comfortable & Secure

Bought this along with a couple of the V6 masks. Whereas the lightweight V3 masks stay up nicely on their own, the V6 masks are a bit too heavy to stay up on their own with my small ears. The strap holds the V6 up very securely and makes the mask very comfortable to wear for extended periods. I haven't tried it yet with other masks, but it seems like the same characteristics would apply to make other masks fit more securely while retaining good comfort over time. Recommended!

More Comfortable and Secure Hold

I wear glasses and my ears get tender/sore after wearing ear loops for a while. The mask strap makes it so much more comfortable to wear a face mask for a longer period of time. Plus the strap keeps the mask securely on since once in a while I’ve had an ear loop slip off if I accidentally jostle my glasses or hat. I got two straps so I will have a spare just in case.

Works well!

Good materials and fit - the only issue is the closure of the snap can be difficult as not much space is provided. Brough just one to try and will purchase a couple more for other masks.

Creates a secure fit

The head strap is a great addition to the Tom Bihn line up. Like always, great craftsmanship. And the head strap provides a more secure and comfortable fit by taking the pressure off your ears. I wear glasses, and my husband wears glasses and hearing aids, so putting on a mask securely can be a tricky endeavor. The head strap solves this problem. And I can wear small earrings now without worrying about losing them because they no longer get caught in the mask ear straps; and my mask stays on when I put my knit hat on or off. One note: the strap keeps your mask on very securely, and it can be a bit hard to manage if you take your mask on and off frequently. Your video was very helpful in demonstrating how to put it on and wear it.

Invaluable face mask accessory!

NO MORE EAR PAIN! This is simply incredible! Thoughtful and well-made design. It functions exactly how I expected it to function, and makes mask-wearing way more comfortable. My son who has special eyeglasses can now wear masks without them hurting his ears. The construction is solid with quality materials, and I can see this lasting a long time to come.
