MERIWOOLMERIWOOL 100% Merino Wool Ski Neck Gaiter Winter Neck Warmer for Women and Men

I bought this to compare to my scarf, and I actually like it much better than the scarf. Instead of taking it on and off when going to and from work, I can just leave it on all day, so my neck stays warm but there are no dangling ends to get in my way or get caught by anything.Also, I can pull it over my mouth and nose more easily and securely than trying to do the same thing with the scarf. You can even theoretically pull it over your whole head with your face sticking out, if you forgot your hat and also want to keep your ears warm. It comes with a paper that demonstrates multiple ways to wear it.I was afraid that this would be itchy, but although it is not exactly super-soft, I haven't noticed any itchiness. It might be different for people with more sensitive skin, though; I'm not sure.The only minor complaint I have is that it's not very stretchy when bunched up, and I have to be careful when putting it on (I was not careful enough one time and accidentally squished my eyeballs a bit, though the sensation quickly faded and there doesn't seem to be any lasting effect).You can alternatively pull it on along its length like a sock rather than bunching it up like I do, but I don't really like the sock method because it musses my hair more and causes a bit of static electricity buildup.But if it was any looser, it probably wouldn't do as good a job of keeping my neck warm, so the complaint is _very_ minor.Overall, I recommend this product.

I am very happy. It is vey soft, longer than I expected, high quality, well made. Let's see how long it will last. I have 2 more of a different brand and I had them for 5 yrs now.

This gaiter can be worn a number of different ways due to its length and elasticity. I mostly wear it for winter bike riding and I pull it up over the back of my head just enough to have the sides cover my ears beneath a helmet. For just covering my neck, I wear it double-thick. The wool isn't itchy and it does not retain odors. It has held up well through almost daily use. A great purchase!

nice item

High quality piece of merino wool. Thin, but warm, so that it can be folded into many configurations. Works great as a neck gaiter, hat, headband, earwarmer, etc. Folds up small so it can be tucked into pocket or daypack "just in case", but certainly adds a layer of warmth. Snug but not tight on my head, and I have trouble with hats being too tight. I love this thing and it would make a great gift.
