like the title said, i cant choose between the...

dakine desperado.

http://dakine.com/ski/beanies/guys-beanies/desperado/

-polyester outer
-fleece liner
-velcro closure

or

avalon7 bandana

http://avalon7.bigcartel.com/product/new-avalon7-cascade-mesh-bandaril

-polyester closing

...so i heard polyester is great for breathablility, not freezing up etc. and these both have them. but the dakine has a fleece lining which i hear is both good and bad. god because of warmth and comfort, but bad due to how it gets wet easily. but, since it has an outer polyester layer will it keep it dry?
which one should i go for?

av 7 is the shit

i've had a bandanna from them for probably 3 years and it's still holding up.

by the way, if you go to my profile and the most recent picture i uploaded, you should see me with the bandanna on. it's a pink one

Yeah A7 is bomb... I just wore my mesh bandanna last weekend for the first time and loved it. Im not sure how warm they really are but the breathability was awesome, plus the graphics are pimp.

I cant remember how long it was to get mine but it couldnt have been more than 5 business days...Hope you like it man.

'Cause they aren't bandanas.  They are bandarils.  If you don't know you should find out.

i'm not gonna lie.. i cut out a thin table cloth and made it into a bandana... best bandana i've ever experienced.. keeps air out, doesn't freeze, and you can breath through it. plus the straight red makes you look like a badass

its just like 100% polyester, and its got a bunch of tiny holes in it, that way it doesnt freeze up and its super breathable. but damn, 20 dollars is crazy for some fabric with a design. sorry avalon, price is just a tad too steep
