Narrative:
I am requesting the company ban 'single layer neck gators.' I do not want them used aboard my aircraft because the ones that I have seen; that are single layer are so thin you can see through them and I do not believe they are effective at protecting anyone. I believe they are unsafe for surrounding crew and passengers.I had taken the time to ask questions; of a couple of passengers; regarding the 'neck gators' they were wearing. They were single layer. I did tell them I was not comfortable with the 'neck gators' since they were only single layer and a gate agent provided the masks we have; for their flight.
