I was sceptical about getting a neck warmer as I usually find something to hate about them but this one hasn’t let me down yet! While it is on the pricier side for thermal tubes I don’t regret paying for it. I bought it for skiing and winter hiking and it’s been perfect. While it’s tight to the head and neck it’s not uncomfortable and really is anti itch. It doesn’t slide around when I’m moving and it takes a lot for it to begin to freeze when I’m breathing through it on a cold day. In terms of skiing the fabric is also thin enough to breathe straight through (avoiding the dreaded goggle fog) while still keeping my face warm.

Pretty styling but disappointing performance

I purchased this neck gaiter to replace a smart wool neck gaiter that I loved but lost last year. I don't understand the length of this piece (why is it so long?) and I find it ill fitting. It is too big and slumps down and seems thinner that the 250 Neck gaiter from before.

Not warm

7 months ago

This gaiter is very thin. You can actually see through it when put over your eyes. It is OK on mild days but is of little use on cold, windy days.

Excellent Neck and Face Warmer

3 years ago

I use the tube while snowshoeing, the material keeps neck and face warm , the elastic fit keeps it up on face and does not slide down

Great design and texture

3 years ago

This is my first neck gaiter. I really love the design and the texture. It keeps my neck nice and warm and is easy to pull over my mouth when it is really chilly outside.

Fairly warm and nice length

6 months ago

I just wish they had more pattern options. Some of their short gaiters have great patterns, while the long one is lacking. As my wife put it when seeing me wear this for the first time - I looked like I was ready to rob a bank. A foggy tree pattern would be great! That all being said, it is nice and comfortable. It has about the perfect length (I'd probably go for ~1-2 inches longer) to accommodate wearing it as a hat or balaclava, which is great (especially when you need to keep your ears and face warm at the same time while still covering most of your neck (this is where the slight extra length would come in). I would say that this gaiter isn't thick enough to fully block out wind, but if you double it up it does a pretty good job. At this point I have worn it down to 23°F in Colorado (dry cold), and it kept me pretty comfortable.

Will never wear a scarf again.

1 year ago

I've had mine for about a year now, and it's legitimately my favorite thing. It can be the smallest bit itchy, but the temperature regulation and low-profile it is (compared to a scarf) is really very worth it. It stays in my backpack at all times, and I use it nearly daily in the winter. The length is great, tucks it into a shirt or hoodie perfectly.

Beautiful and soft

This gaiter is as stunning as it looks and is quite a light weave, soft and pretty. I'm a fan.
