- Scough’s secret is its high degree of microporosity, just one gram of activated carbon has a surface area in excess of 500 m2 for trapping sneeze fragments and pollution. The structure of activated carbon creates strong Van Der Waals forces, pulls in pollution, and germs to hold them in their crevices and neutralize them.
- How to wear: First, pull the elastic loop over your head and settle it around the base of your neck. The elastic neck strap guarantees easy accurate filter placement so you’re always getting a filtered breath. To start filtering, pull the filter over your nose and pinch the embedded nose crimp to set yourself up with the best seal possible.
- Our Scough scarves are all hand sewn in our local US factory in Brooklyn, using the finest US-made cotton.
- We started Scough six years ago as an investigation into how we might use an incredible technology—industrial-grade woven carbon filters—to help keep families healthy and bring awareness to our world’s growing air quality issues.

I have several Scough. This one is made from soft light-blue cotton which is a bit thick. The material is great for cooler days. I wear it at night when I walk the pup during allergy season. So far it’s worked well. It washed well and when line dried it got a little less soft. It does come with an insertable filter, but I don’t use it. In this case it’s because I would not be able to breath through both the relatively thick fabric and the addition of a filter. I’ll save the filter for one of my other lighter scoughs. In the meantime, using this thick fabric is more than enough. The elastic strap keeps the scough in place. I am able to position the strap and the scough so that my nostrils are protected from pollen. The fabric thickness of this scarf does a great filtering job on it’s own, but it can make breathing difficult, so don’t expect to use this while exercising. It can require a little fussing to get the fit, filtering and breathing right, but I’m happy that it’s protecting me from allergens.

THE WEBSITE PHOTO SHOWS THE LEGTH OF SCARF IS ALMOST TO WAIST OR HIPS. THE SCARF COMES ONLY TO CHEST OR IF YOU STRANGLE YOURSELF WITH SCARF IT CAN GO RIGHT BELOW BREAST.

Yes, the mask area of the scarf is thicker and more structured than it would be (and is) without the mask inserted. It’s still much less conspicuous than anything else I’ve come across. I love it for traveling. The blue color is denim-ish. It’s seriously great.

I will be travelling and detest airports and crammed planes. I know nothing can prevent this mystery bio-virusbut this item scarf is PERFECT for me. I can wear it for winter and travel without looking total biohaz.It is a very soft flannel, well constructed and made in USA. Customer service was very prompt and helpful, too, when I emailed the company. Shoutout to Andrew!Thanks and best wishes for your company and everyone stay well!

Scarf was as advertised, but they shipped the scarf without a filter. Poor quality check on the shipper. I ordered two of these at the same time and one came in with a filter and the other one did not? At a time like the this scammed my order!!

Just tried it on! Cotton is soft and comfortable and even the filter is pliable. This scarf will be a great travel companion!Colour is even a nouance nicer than in the picture… :)About delivery: although bought two scarves at the same time, they have been shipped separately and I am still waiting for the second one. This one arrived super fast, though! 🙂
