Unisex Adult Thermal Merino Reversible Neck Gaiter

Of course some people are more sensitive to cold than are others, but for those who are, the SmartWool neck gaiter is amazing in its slim profile, form-fitting but still with enough give to get pulled up over ears and lower face as needed, and most importantly, its warmth. I don't find it itchy/scratchy, and while it's not fleece-lined soft, it also isn't bulky as are others that appear more focused on how it feels vs how it wears and warms. I very much like that I can put it on before leaving the house, and often forget I'm wearing it, until I'm, for example, getting out of the car to pump gasoline, and I'm toasty or only a quick pull up over my ears away from protective comfort. I've also found I don't get overheated when wearing it from errand to errand, in the car as we do so widely here in the USA, and the gaiter provides a terrific balance of warmth and wind-blocking to make tolerable temperature and wind swings expected when getting out of the car, walking across parking lots, entering stores, and then reversing when leaving. If you're the person who finds it miserable when your neck/ears get cold, get yourself a SmartWool neck gaiter. Again, YMMV based on your personally specific level of cold tolerance, but I find often I can endure quite nicely outside activities when it is cold and windy (talking 32deg and lower) with just a neck gaiter, a hat and some gloves. Layers for the clothing and I'm set. Set it and forget it, really, until you realize, dang it's cold out here, and then remember your SmartWool neck gaiter has enough material to rise up for face/ear protection, until you're back inside somewhere and just slide it back down to rest around your neck. I will say, as one should expect, that if you have a gaiter up over your mouth, and perhaps your nose, you're going to find the material will wick up some of that respiration moisture. I use my SmartWool neck gaiter every time I go out to shovel snow, and have learned that I can just slide it around my neck, away from my mouth, essentially then giving my face a non-moist covering. I haven't yet noticed the wet spot that has been moved elsewhere. The gaiter washes normally and nicely. I don't machine dry any of my SmartWool products, although I'd imagine drying on low heat would be adequate. Lastly, I have a SmartWool neck gaiter in all black, plus the SmartWool man logo, owned for probably 7-10 years, and it fits/feels/functions exactly as when I bought it. No joke. The stitching is solid, there are no holes, no fading, no threadbare portions worn out by who knows what. It just persists. I personally would be very bothered if I found myself somewhere cold and didn't have my SmartWool neck gaiter. One of the best, cold-weather related, purchases we've ever made. Couldn't recommend more highly than I have here.

Yes! Just what I needed when I don’t want to wear a bulky scarf. This gaiter is very comfortable and soft against your skin. It’s effective against the cold but not over the top. It keeps me at a normal temperature. It’s made by Smartwool, whom I love, and I was nicely surprised at the price!!!! I’m going to order another color!!!!

Got cold early, and my neck was suffering. This neck gaiter is great! Warm, not itchy, I like the color. I only held a star back because I wish it was a tad more roomy. I guess I have a fat neck 😦

Had to panic-buy this when a 50k ultramarathon I was racing turned into a single-digit windchill, ice race. But it performed beautifully. I have used it several more times for my winter runs. It stays in place well and regulates my temperature well. I've noticed no smell after several uses. It is a bit tight, so if you have a larger neck/head build, pulling it up to your ears may not be very comfortable. It is soft but still has that merino wool type of scratchy feel, but doesn't bother me. Some stretch, but pretty minimal like most merino wool.

These fit well. The Smartwool Thermal Merino Reversible Neck Gaiters are thin but still keep my face and neck warm. I have no problem pulling it on over my cap. I bought them just in time for the -20s windchill that we had. They wash well. I did hang it to dry.

This is so very comfortable, so soft, and it works very well to keep me warm in below 30 degree, snowy weather. It's so nice to be able to use it just for my neck, or for my ears, my face! Love it!

I like this but wish I had bought the longer Buff version in wool. I took this to Iceland and it worked well in cold weather I just wanted it to be longer so I could use it as a balaclava too. As is, this just isn’t long enough to use it that way.

I love this! Has gotten me through a holiday in a very cold place. Thin enough to breathe through it (I did, almost every day), and with lots of possibilities in how to wear the rest. Looks thin but is not. Looks great on, washes great off.

Hyper doux pour le cou mais aussi très chaud. Parfait pour le ski, je l’utilise aussi en scooter.

good material and warm! excellent quality

Caldo e confortevole

Pour les personnes qui cherchent quelque chose de fin, pas encombrant mais bien chaud c'est top ! Bonne qualité

3年前の仕様のものを持っていて新しいものにしたかっのですが、フリーサイズでしたがかなり細い仕様になっていて合いませんでした。製品は良いものなので残念でした。
