New Gear – Neck Gaiters

Neck and Face Protection That You Need for Many Outdoor Activities

We’ve all been there, out in the wind, the dust, the sun, the cold, the bugs and the glare off the water. And we all know that you really need to protect your face and your respiratory system from the elements. So we’ve always been big advocates of bandanas, shemaghs and reusable N95 masks to make sure that you can breathe in whatever conditions Nature throws at you. Over the past couple of years we’ve also become an advocate for neck gaiters – especially in windy conditions – and with the COVID-19 craziness the number of neck gaiters on the market has exploded.
 
Their uses are pretty obvious and include:
  • Keeping your face protected when you’re in the outback by keeping sun, wind, dust, sweat and bugs off your face - and out of your nose and mouth
  • Protecting your face from getting a painful windburn – especially if you’re hiking on a mountain
  • Protecting your face from getting a painful sunburn – especially if you are on the water
  • Wicking sweat and moisture away from your skin

Given the amount of new products on the market, in all sizes, colors, patterns and materials (e.g. polyester, spandex, microfiber, merino wool, fleece, synthetic, etc.,) we decided to replace all of our old neck gaiters with new ones before Winter arrived. You might think about doing the same since the new products have come a long way.
 
If you want more details about neck gaiters – here are a couple of great articles discussing their uses,  versatility and evaluation considerations for different environments:
