When you’re skiing or just doing anything in the cold, you’d be surprised at how effective a simple neck gaiter can be.

As an avid outdoor enthusiast, I’m hyper aware that I need sun protection even when it’s not a sunny day. Lightweight and comfortable, this gaiter is made with Polygiene and HeiQ technology to help with odors and keep you fresh during activities. It’s available in 13 fun colors and prints.
