These masks completely block out light and are long enough to wrap around the head to cover the ears, with a velcro enclosure. The front of the mask is shaped to fit the face and is soft and padded for comfort. And the added bonus, is a small pocket which holds a pair of ear plugs for those who need extra noise cancelling. They roll up into a compact ball and can be secured with the elastic loop for neat storage in your carry on luggage.
