Ski Neck Gaiters

Stay Cosy With a Ski Neck Gaiter

Ski neck gaiters, often called neck warmers, offer protection for your neck and face against the cold. They sit snugly around your neck ensuring it is shielded from harsh weather, while also providing some defence from UV rays. There is a wide range of ski gaiters to select from, and you can opt for a style that safeguards just the neck or one that also extends coverage to the mouth and lower face.

The ideal neck gaiter for skiing depends on your preferred style and the conditions in which you will be skiing. Nonetheless, certain important features should be considered. Ski neck warmers ought to be lightweight and breathable so as not to hinder your performance, while also being moisture-wicking to retain warmth. Consequently, many skiers opt for gaiters made from merino wool or polyester.

If you expect to be out in the coldest climates and wish to remain warm, opt for a gaiter crafted from thicker materials, whereas if you are concerned about excessive sweating, choose a thinner design made from materials such as nylon or polyester.

An alternative is to utilise a balaclava, which will cover your neck and also shield your face, leaving just a small opening around the eye area. To explore our assortment of balaclavas, along with skiing hats, visit our Ski Hats & Balaclavas category.
