Neck gaiters

Neck gaiter: choose the right neck warmer

The neck gaiter is a simple accessory. It protects from the cold. It adds style. It is suitable for both the city and the mountains.

Types of neck gaiters

• Tube snood: easy to put on, ideal for everyday use.
• Technical neck warmer: windproof and breathable for exertion.
• Balaclava: full protection for intense cold.
• Multifunctional (thin tube): lightweight for running or hiking.

Materials and benefits

Cashmere offers warmth, softness, and lightness. It insulates well without being heavy. Compared to raw wool, cashmere is softer on the skin and more compact for the same level of warmth. Synthetic fibers dry quickly and are easy to care for. Merino combines warmth, breathability, and odor management.

Seasons and occasions

In winter, prefer cashmere or a wool/technical blend. In spring and autumn, a lightweight merino tube is sufficient. For skiing or mountaineering, choose technical windproof models. For running, opt for breathable and moisture-wicking fabrics.

Tips for choosing well

• Determine the use: daily, skiing, running, mountaineering.
• Choose the right thickness according to the season.
• Check breathability and moisture resistance for exertion.
• Prefer natural fibers for comfort, synthetics for maintenance.

Care

Wash cashmere by hand or on a wool cycle at low temperature. Dry flat. Avoid vigorous spinning. Store folded, away from moisture and moths.

Complete your outfit with technical men's scarves and, depending on the activity, technical belts for the mountains.
