Characteristics
Overview
A square of cloth which is tied around the face over the nose and mouth.
Mostly you wear it because you like how it looks. It covers the lower half of the face, costs five cloth with no workbench and no research, and sits under a cap or a boonie without fighting it for the slot. Its blueprint is tied to owning the item on Steam, so not everyone has it in the crafting menu.
Picture the first minutes after a fresh spawn: a rock, a torch, a few hemp plants picked on the way to the trees. If you own both, that is already enough for the bandana and a baseball cap at the same price, and you stop running around bareheaded. It changes almost nothing in a fight, but losing it costs nothing either.
Do not expect protection from it. If the face slot should do real work against the cold, the improvised balaclava promises exactly that in its own text, and later a full facemask pushes the bandana off you anyway. Everything else you can put on sits under Attire.
