@Rich,
Not particularly different than stretching a potentially contaminated mask over your nose and mouth. Most gaiters are very long. It's easy to roll a gaiter in half to make it a dual layer tube. The outer layer never directly touches my face. 'course, good practice means only using the gaiter a few times before swapping it out for a fresh one.
@Wurm, depends on the make and model gaiter. Some have patterns or pictures on them. Others have a cord with a tightening pull. Ones with no patter or pull can be worn in whichaever manner you deem appripriate. For the other types, it's immediately apparent which side is front vs back and which part is the top vs bottom.
I don't like masks that attach to my ears. Very uncomfortable. That's why I prefer gaiters, preferably one with a pattern _and_ a cord for tightening the top.
