the Magic of a Face Wrap? How-to..

Postby ScaredShooter » Thu Mar 03, 2011 9:00 pm

I guess I'm too much of a fool to figure out how this is done, I'd like some help please..

Thanks in advance for pointers

I have this very awesome piece of fabric, and I wish to achieve the style below:

I have done lots of pulling this thing over my noggin and it's escaping me how it's done. I guess it's like tying a tie, sometimes you just need a small amount of guidance.

Note for starters it's shaped like a tube, two big holes on each end.

Pull the whole tube over your head, around your face. So from mid-ear to the top of your head is NOT covered.

Reach to the BACK of your neck, and grab the BOTTOM (Closes to your a$$) edge of the fabric.

Pull that edge over your head, onto your forhead.

I have to say that is the best description ever. I looked at the first pic and when i saw it said it was a tube i was lost, then the pull the bottom nearest my a$$ cleared it all up. (no sarcasm meant)

Didn't even need the pics :)

PS this head-wrap is the most gangster $10 I ever spent..


I've been trying for some time to find a way to protect me teeth. I had a mouthguard, but I lost it, and wasn’t a big fan of the related drooling and speech impediment.

So I’m not sure if this looks good, but I’ll keep experimenting with stuff.

Let me know if you think this looks ridiculous.

Nice BB-Magneting Forehead. If you have the CONDOR than you don't need the lower mesh mask.

Is "gangster" a good thing or a bad thing? I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one confused about how exactly this configuration was achieved. Thanks!

Yeah you will, the Condor wrap is way too thin to protect your teeth.

I like the look, I've actually been thinking about getting a lower mesh mask myself. I know people say all you need is the CONDOR wrap, but I'd rather protect my teeth with metal than a thin piece of cloth ;) I might suggest pulling up the wrap to cover that forehead though

I do believe that no one on here is "gangster" primarily due to the fact that he said it was gangster and the people here are soooo white...

The condor mask is too thin but wit outdoor games saftey kills and fps limits I think its more then enough. I only really wear it to cover my white face. I wear the mesh half face mask for cab.

Are you saying gangster is a black thing? A bit rascist?



I guess Al Capone wasn't gangster.
