Product details
FlexiBloc Faraday Snood and Face Covering
This snood is a tube of stretchy fabric that you pull over your head and wear as a neck gaiter, a scarf or a face covering. It is made from FlexiBloc, a soft, stretchy knitted fabric made with 44% silver fiber, paired with the same organic cotton layer we use in our hoodies. It comes in three sizes and 11 colors. Browse our full range of EMF clothing.
Shielding Performance
The snood gets its shielding from the FlexiBloc fabric, which provides about 38 dB from 30 MHz to 300 MHz, around 36 dB at 915 MHz, about 34 dB at 1.8 GHz and about 33 dB at 2.45 GHz (2.4 GHz WiFi), falling to about 32 dB at 5 GHz (5 GHz WiFi) and about 27 dB at 10 GHz. These are the values for a single layer of the fabric. Decibels are a logarithmic scale: every 10 dB is a tenfold reduction in signal power, so 30 dB means 99.9% of the signal power at that frequency is blocked. The snood shields the areas it covers, such as your neck and the lower part of your face. See the Specifications tab for the full table.
Fabric
- FlexiBloc fabric: 44% silver fiber, 35% cotton, 18% nylon and 3% spandex, with two-way stretch.
- Organic cotton layer: 95% cotton and 5% elastane, certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
Care and Washing
FlexiBloc fabric has been tested to withstand 40 washes before its shielding effectiveness is compromised. To look after your snood and keep the silver working at its best:
- Wash with distilled, mineral, well or cooled boiled water to avoid and remove mineral ions.
- Cool wash with as little agitation as possible.
- Use a clear, unscented, uncolored detergent with a neutral pH.
- Avoid oils, including essential oils, since they will damage the silver.
- No fabric softener.
- No bleaching.
- Do not tumble dry or place over heaters. Line dry only.
- Cool iron.
Sizing
The snood comes in small (suitable for young children), medium (suitable for older children and adults) and large (recommended for men). The fabric stretches, so check the measurements in the size chart in the Specifications tab.

Values are approximate, for a single layer of FlexiBloc fabric, read from the FlexiBloc shielding chart (30 MHz to 10 GHz).
It is a tube of stretchy FlexiBloc silver fiber fabric with an organic cotton layer, worn over your head as a neck gaiter, a scarf or a face covering. It shields the RF signals from cell phones, WiFi and cell towers where it covers.
A snood is a tube of fabric with no ends, also called a neck gaiter. You pull it over your head and wear it around your neck, or pull it up over your nose and mouth.
The FlexiBloc fabric is 44% silver fiber, 35% cotton, 18% nylon and 3% spandex. The organic cotton layer is 95% cotton and 5% elastane, certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
The FlexiBloc fabric provides about 38 dB from 30 MHz to 300 MHz, around 36 dB at 915 MHz, about 34 dB at 1.8 GHz, about 33 dB at 2.4 GHz WiFi, about 32 dB at 5 GHz WiFi and about 27 dB at 10 GHz, for a single layer. Every 10 dB is a tenfold reduction in signal power.
The FlexiBloc fabric shields WiFi and cell frequencies, and the lower 5G bands, up to 10 GHz. It has not been tested above 10 GHz, so millimeter wave 5G is outside its tested range.
You can wear it over your nose and mouth as a fabric face covering. It is a fabric snood, not a medical mask or a respirator.
Small is suitable for young children, medium for older children and adults, and large is recommended for men. See the size chart in the Specifications tab for the measurements, and speak to an expert if you are unsure.
