These versatile fabric tubes will keep you comfy through intense sun, chilly winds, and plenty more.
Despite their seemingly universal appearance, neck gaiters tend to fall into three distinct categories based on their weight and heat-trapping abilities. There are thick cold weather gaiters that trap most of your body heat, middleweight gaiters that are a bit thinner and work better in the spring and fall, and ultra-light gaiters that wick away sweat and stave off sunburn instead of warming you up.
If you’re looking to keep your arsenal to just one neck buff, it’s best to stick to something that sits in the middle, but you’ll also appreciate more season-specific options as the temps approach extremes in either direction. Most neck gaiters come as a simple fabric tube, but there are some with contoured fits, bandana-like shapes, and drawstrings to help keep your gaiter in place. These added features do tend to detract from the overall versatility of standard gaiters, though, which is worth keeping in mind if you also want to use your gaiter like a headband or balaclava.
Polyester is the most popular material for wicking moisture, but you’ll also find plenty of merino wool options that additionally help to contain odors, provide a more natural stretch, and often offer a broader range of temperature regulation.As runners and cyclists, we’ve spent plenty of time running and riding while wearing neck gaiters.
