Frostbite protection strips

Abstract

A method and product for reducing the risk of frostbite on the cheeks and nose while simultaneously providing a promotional opportunity is provided. The solution offers two thermal insulating strips for each cheek and one strip sized to conformingly fit over the nose. The two strips for the cheeks are applied about one-quarter of an inch below the eyes. The nose strip adheres directly to the contour of one's nose, in an air-tight nature and extends from the root to the tip with substantial surface area to cover the lateral sides. The backbone of the strips is a tight weave thermal insulating fabric which provides warmth. The fabric is laminated to a backing of low density polyethylene, which protects from moisture and high winds. The adhesive is hypoallergenic and is designed to hold firmly, but to remove easily without damaging the skin. The strips can be branded for promotional opportunities.
